🌱Aurora Park Shooting Update: 6 Teens Injured, Suspects At Large

Happy Tuesday, Denver! Let's get you all caught up to start today off on an informed note. I have the latest news about the Aurora park shooting, an important COVID-19 treatment, Denver Fashion Week and our state's fastest-growing city.

First, today's weather:

Warmer temperatures can be expected today, with clouds and sun. High: 69 Low: 29.

Here are the top stories in Denver today:

1. Six teens were injured in a shooting Monday afternoon in an Aurora park, police said. Aurora Police Chief Vanessa Wilson said the shooting is part of a nationwide public health crisis, and she's urging the public to "be outraged with what happened." She's asking anyone with information to come forward. (Denver Patch)
2. Police are also seeking answers after a man was shot and killed Sunday night in Denver. The shooting occurred near West Mississippi Avenue and South Quivas Street around 8 p.m. (CBS Denver)
3. Monoclonal antibody treatment is being used to lower the risk of hospitalization among COVID-19 patients in Colorado. The treatment uses lab-created antibodies, injected into patients, to help them fight off the infection. Data shows the treatment can reduce the need for hospitalization by between 70 and 80 percent, public health officials said. (Patch)
4. Denver Fashion Week is set to begin today at the McNichols Civic Center Building. Attendees can learn from their state's industry leaders, who will offer workshops, presentations and shows. The week will kick off with a Runway Model Workshop. (Denver Patch)
5. The U.S. population growth rate hit its lowest level since the Great Depression, according to the 2020 U.S. Census. Over the past decade, the Great Recession and COVID-19 pandemic slowed immigration as well as caused many Americans to hold off on having kids. The fastest growing city in Colorado is Greeley, where the population grew by 32.1 percent from 2010 to 2020. (24/7 Wall St.)

About me: I'm a Patch editor covering news in Denver's metro area and Boulder. I've spent the past nine years working for various news outlets across North America, including Chicago Patch, Global News and WBEZ. I've covered high-profile court cases, civil rights abuses, mass shootings, natural disasters and major crimes — but also countless happy news stories about kindness, innovation and resilience. When I'm not writing articles, I can be found hiking, snowboarding, debating politics with my husband and attempting to be a sci-fi and astronomy geek.
