🌱 Deadly Shooting + Doctor Loses License + Daylight Saving

Up and at 'em, Denver! It's Saturday, so let's get you started with everything you need to know going on around Denver today. I have the latest about a deadly shooting, new federal vaccine guidelines, a doctor who lost his medical license and daylight saving.

First, today's weather:

Saturday's forecast includes a partly sunny sky and warmer temperatures. High: 74 Low: 46.

Here are the top stories in Denver today:

1. One person died and two others were injured in a shooting overnight just outside RiNo in Denver. All three were in the same car, police said. As of Friday, no arrests had been made. (CBS Denver)
2. New federal guidelines require Colorado employers with 100 or more employees to develop a mandatory COVID-19 vaccination policy or give employees a choice between getting vaccinated or getting tested regularly and wearing a face mask. The emergency temporary standard from OSHA affects 84 million private sector employees. (Patch)
3. A license has been permanently revoked for a doctor who confessed to secretly filming boys and teens for child porn, CBS Denver reports. The Colorado Medical Board's decision comes a year after Justin Neisler was sentenced to 23 years for the production of child pornography. Neisler worked in Denver and Westminster. (CBS Denver)
4. Another reason to groan about daylight saving: The chances of hitting a deer or other animal increase as daylight saving time ends, clocks fall back an hour, and sunset comes earlier Sunday. In Denver, sunset is 4:52 p.m. Sunday. (Denver Patch)
5. U.S. population growth slowed over the last decade to its lowest rate since the Great Depression. The U.S. population is aging rapidly, and the fastest shrinking county in Colorado is Las Animas County, which lost more than 1,000 people over the past decade. (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.
