@DenverPost reporter. Tells stories to share historically excluded voices. Does not suffer fools. I like my reporting dogged & my cats tabby. I’m listening.

I’m on scene at a Boulder King Soopera grocery store where a reported active shooter is inside. Police and SWAT vehicles are rolling in as we speak from all over, huge police presence. *Soopers

Don’t sweat the SATs? Colorado colleges support push to deemphasize test results in admissions

There are some stats I want to show you in this story that are significant. @denverpost To determine how much impact socioeconomic background has on SAT scores, @coschoolofmines did a study sorting CO scores by local zip codes.

They found SAT scores may be more predictive of a student's socioeconomic background than their ability to thrive in college.

I'm back at the scene of the Westminster shooting this morning. This is the Cedarwood Square Office Complex where police said the shooting happened. The parking lot is quiet this morning. Where officers, evidence markers and police investigators swarmed yesterday now sits a baby bunny with a whimsical castle tower holding a sign for Children's Dentistry a few feet away.

You know when you get a press release to cover a Guinness world record attempt for tallest stack of waffles & expect it to be some big commercial thing & then it's just a guy's house? This is SO MUCH BETTER. Follow along, #Denver! Things might get weird! There is an official DENVER LAND SURVEYOR here because the dudes needed someone to take an official measurement. THIS IS A SERIOUS OPERATION, YOU GUYS. THERE IS A 3D MEASURING DEVICE IN THE BACKYARD.
