estate market imploded and he did better than most. >> companies, jobs, and opportunities were lost and lives were destroyed. i was able to use the tax laws of this country and my business acumen to dig out of the real estate mess. but i'm working for you now. i'm not working for trump. >> reporter: he told me he was even willing to close some of the loopholes that benefited him. >> a person like myself that understands it can do things that are frankly pretty amazing. >> reporter: the tax controversy the the republican nominee's campaign. he spent last week feuding with a former miss universe whose weight he criticized. i asked him about accusations of sexism. >> which i'm not. i have great respect for women. i have such respect for women. >> reporter: hillary clinton raised his treatment of women in the last debate. he said he may raise her attempts to discredit women who had affairs with her husband in the next debate. >> i'd like to talk policy. i think policy is much more important so i hope i don't

is how we get treated. >> reporter: in an ominous sign he had another microphone malfunction. >> oh, i thought that was the commission on presidential debates. >> reporter: but he tried to put a positive spin on all the negative press. >> when the ships are down is when i perform the very best. >> trump also talked to me about why he decided to campaign in pueblo, which for decades has gone to democrats. he believes his message on trade area which has been slow to recover from the recession, and he may be right. republican scott at -- scott tipton won pebbly in the last election and cory gardner came within 300 votes of winning it. so pueblo a place we'll want to watch this election. from southern to northern colorado, after his pueblo stop, donald trump traveled 160 miles up to the budweiser event center in loveland. our stan bush there right now.

statements about veterans and post-traumatic stress. >> that's right. earlier in the day donald trump said veterans suffering from ptsd were weak. he must have been talked to by his advisors on the plane ride over here because at the speech we saw this evening, it was a very sedated donald trump. he did talk about some colorado specific issues, energy, the second amendment, and land use, but he spent most of his time at this event as well trying to take the air out of the story about his taxes. >> reporter: donald mentioned the new york times story claiming he hadn't paid federal taxes in 18 years, but on stage tonight, he did respond to it. >> the unfairness of the tax laws is unbelievable. it's something that i've been talking about for a long time. you've heard me talking about it. despite being a very big beneficiary, i must admit. >> reporter: trump defended his finances and didn't say he'd explain more of his tax dealings. >> it's my job always to minimize the overall tax burden.

nominee spoke almost completely from a teleprompter, one of his most disciplined speeches following what might have been the worst week of his campaign. highlighted by a late night twitter tirade about a former beauty queen. today he blamed the press for their coverage. >> you're not going to see this because they never show it. because it's bad to show it. if they show it they're going to see what's happening. >> reporter: a big sell-out no turn-out. trump trying to halt his slide and put the focus back on hillary clinton's e-mails. >> clinton is the ring leader of a criminal enterprise that has corrupted our government at the highest levels and the american people have one chance to stop it. >> trump said tonight that he is winning colorado. though a new monmouth university poll shows he's losing the state right now by 11 points. closing the gap here is critical

house. most maps show him needing colorado in order to win the election. live tonight in loveland, stan bush, cbs4 news. >> colorado hosted another presidential candidate tonight. the libertarian gary johnson spoke at cu south denver. that's in parker. we talked to him beforehand. johnson says the two-party system has run its course. he also talked about colorado's marijuana law. >> denver is the most vibrant city, big city in the united states. i think legalization of with it, not because people are high, but because there's this underlying notion that colorado is about freedom. >> reporter: today's stop is part of johnson's 40-state college tour to expand awareness of third parties. hillary clinton spent her day in ohio. she's been polling better since the first debate. today clinton honed in on the popular topic of trump's 1995

place? he then has taken advantage of every single element of our tax code, of our economy that he could. >> reporter: trump and clinton square off for their second debate in st. louis sunday. you can check out our campaign 2016 coverage on cbsdenver.com. we have more from trump's visit today and shaun boyd gives our political ads a reality check. developing tonight, a shoot-out in a quiet neighborhood in cenl. man who was acting strangely and trying to break in to his house. jeff todd live there tonight. jeff, this started with a boat in the driveway. >> we know some tires on a boat trailer were slashed. as we look around, it seems the tires may have been fixed. we know there was an altercation but the homeowner told us he did what he had to do to stay safe. >> someone was kicking on my door about 7:30 this morning, so

when you're half awake and all that stuff. >> reporter: when phillip came outside his home, he says the man was belligerent. >> the guy kept yelling, i own this neighborhood, i own this neighborhood, so you gotta get that boat down to the marina. just one rant after another. >> reporter: phillip said he tried to engage the man, but then things turned dangerous and shots were fired. >> next thing i know he's got a gun coming to the house. probably three or four in to my house. they were coming through >> reporter: phillip returned fire and the man left. arapaho county deputies found him a few blocks away in this silver sedan. >> the subject actually was shot, apparently nonlife-threatening wounds at this point. he was transported to an area hospital. >> reporter: investigators spent the afternoon inspecting the boat and looking for more shell casings. the other man's health condition is unknown. >> neighbors did tell phillip they think they had seen that

houses. we talked to the arapo county sheriff's office and asked if there would be any charges. they said this is such a bizarre situation, this may take a few more days to flush out. live in centennial, jeff todd, cbs4 news. here's the latest on the fiery rollover crash that killed 5 young people. crash happened on county line road along the arapahoe county elbert county line. investigators say the car was speeding. karen >> despite the wind and cold, several people came out here earlier tonight to the park to remember those five victims who were killed in that tragic accident. you can see that memorial here left behind tonight. dozens of friends and family members came together in the dark just one day after five

violent rollover crash. those who braved the cold here held candles and shared memories of the young lives that were lost so suddenly. manuela and her mother organized the candlelight for all the victims, but also for her cousins, levi and angelo, who she described as funny, outgoing, and always smiling. >> the family needs support, everybody needs it. and just so that we can have a moment for them, how they was tragic. >> it's just hard. i could not imagine it. it just feels heartbreaking. really heartbreaking. they have a whole life ahead of them. >> the family says those teens were out in that area early yesterday morning because they heard that a bridge out there was haunted and they wanted to check it out. each family has a fundraiser page. we have links on how you can

website at cbsdenver.com. developing now, a raging wildfire and mandatory evacuations in southern colorado. it's being called the boula hill fire. southwest of pueblo. more than a thousand people have been evacuated. tonight chris spears live with the mobile weather lab. we know wind today has been a huge problem for fire crews. >> absolutely. the wind and this, all the dry the front range, it has just been a tinder box along the front range with a developing moderate drought. you add in these really strong winds that have been gusting 50, 60 miles per hour, and it's created a lot of problems. just take a look. >> reporter: strong winds and tinder dry vegetation proved dangerous along colorado's front range monday. several fires broke out including this one south of loveland.

southwest of pueblo where the fire exploded, charring thousands of acres within hours. it's expected to burn through the night. on the cold side of the storm, parts of western colorado saw a quick blast of winter with snow that made for some tricky driving over rabbit ears pass. and back out here live we're standing at the end of the runway at the broomfield, the jeff co airport here in broomfield. amazing winds right 35 miles per hour. 33. but over the past two minutes we've been anywhere from 30 to past 50 miles per hour over the past hour. we've had pretty strong gusts here. ed greene, it's going to be a loud night for some people along the front range but those winds should be dying down hopefully soon. fingers crossed. street racing. it's dangerous, even deadly and illegal. writing tickets isn't enough. so they're taking enforcement to

barreling toward haiti. the damage could be catastrophic. >> denver has a pot problem, as in there's not enough space for all the marijuana cops confiscate. >> gary kubiak down playing trevor siemian's shoulder injury. could the broncos have another quarterback controversy? what the head coach is saying about who will start sunday.

developing now, denver police want more money to store confiscated marijuana at the department's headquarters.

staff. officials say officers are confiscating 400 boxes at a time. the department wants about $125,000. right now jamaica getting drenched by the outer bands of hurricane matthew. roads have washed away forcing some communities to simply fend for themselves. monster storm category 4 now barreling toward haiti, the poorest country in the western hemisphere. some places there might see 40 inches of rain and devastating guantanamo bay, cuba might be relocating detainees ahead of the hurricane. back in colorado, the wind is the story. >> time to check with ed. >> still pretty gusty around here. we're starting to see things calm down just a little bit. most of the moisture has moved out. north platte has been getting showers and thunderstorms all day long. clouds are moving out of the area. however up in steamboat springs they did see a little light snow today. this is from larry pierce.

you might expect a little bit of snow. that's not a big deal over the northern mountains as this frontal system comes on through. then tomorrow and wednesday we see light snow. take a look at thursday. a very strong cold front pushing through. look at all the snow through larimer county and jefferson county. look at the heavy rains in the northeast. watch this. watch denver. bang. a little bit of snow right there. so on thursday that's at noon, we might see a little snow or rain mixed withno and it hangs around a little bit by 5:00 it slowly begins to clear out and then it's gone. something we're watching. as we are with this hurricane, matthew was a category 5, weakened a little bit to a category 4 but you can't call it a weak storm. 140 miles per hour. moving north northeast at 8. a bermuda high is going to push it to the coast of florida and maybe carolina. this front came through.

what now? i know somebody who knows. let's go to meteorologist lauren whitney in the colorado weather center. >> we're still pretty gusty out there in some areas. you'll notice the western slope has really calmed down from craig to telluride. we had nasty winds earlier and those are starting to mellow out. some areas across the front range, we're still on the windy side. winds about 31 miles per hour and as we take a look at what's going on a little bit closer here in to the denver area again it's still a little bit gusty. we'll see winds stick around for a while longer. winds at 51 miles you'll notice they're pretty strong out there. shifting in to the foothills, strong winds up there as well. nederland close to 36 miles per hour. black hawk, 22. you'll notice it's windy for a little while longer then we'll see those conditions improve. we had our front make its way through. we'll see behind that pretty cool temperatures. tomorrow will be noticeably different and tomorrow morning will be much, much cooler. we have cold overnight lows heading our way. 29 in craig. 41 in grand junction. high country, a lot of upper 20s, low 30s. 42 in denver.

there are warnings out there as well. >> take a look at this. over in western colorado they have a freeze warning out for midnight tonight till 9 a.m. on tuesday. temperatures below that freezing mark. 81s today denver and d.i.a. 56 and 59 is where we started out. should be at 71 and 41. weather watchers, 77 in parker. arvada, 78. 84 in brush today. 57s now with a west wind at 23. look at it airport. nice shot here from custer county. look at this one from karen mather. this is trappers lake and the flat tops wilderness area. pretty shot. as is this one from cat ross. look at this. this is interesting, lafayette. you see the color of the flowers almost the same as the sunset. temperature 30s and 20s. 20s and 30s higher up. out west, temperatures in the

tomorrow cooler temperatures. we'll find 40s for the mountains. out west temperatures in the 50s to the mid 60s. here's that denver forecast for tonight. we will see partly cloudy skies. winds will slowly be decreasing. 44 and 42. then tomorrow partly cloudy skies. cooler. look at this, only in the mid 60s tomorrow and then for the next several days 67 on wednesday. look at thursday, 53. and that's when we might get a little rain mixed with snow right here in the city. 61 and 71 just in time for the weekend and forget columbus day, nice, 73 d >> looks great, ed. thank you. the spike in street racing has police using a new tactic. towing the vehicles instead of writing tickets. some critics call that unfair. but cbs4 investigator rick sallinger shows us police believe it might save lives. >> reporter: we watched from the crowd using a cell phone camera. what was taking place here was not only dangerous, it was

>> they just kind of bring their cars to maybe like show off what they have or something. but they start racing. >> reporter: when we first observed this parking lot at federal and arkansas, it was packed with crowds cheering on the spinning cars. >> how do you stop this activity? >> well, i think you stop it with enforcement. >> reporter: and that enforcement is designed to strike the racers where it the most. when we returned, there were only two cars in the once crowded lot. both police cars. the enforcement is much more than just stopping speeders and giving out tickets. police are making good on that threat to tow and impound vehicles under the city of denver public nuisance law. >> why are you towing this one? >> they were racing down federal. >> how fast do you think they were going? >> faster than the speed limit. >> reporter: the cars or trucks

to get them back, there are storage and civil fees that could run in the thousands of dollars. plus criminal charges. in some cases, the vehicles are seized. >> i think it's effective. i think it's a deterrent for the type of activity that we used that against. >> reporter: we were told this truck was being removed after it was involved in a hit and run. these tow truck drivers see a lot. >> folks coming up here and want to spin the tires cg lights. just trying to show off. >> reporter: several of those we talked with said they feel police are stopping cars for no good reason and they doubt the enforcement effort will bring street racing to an end. >> it's not stoppable. >> why is it unstoppable? >> it's like trying to close a dealership down. >> reporter: the message from police is, race and you'll lose

in colorado, we stand together, but congressman coffman stands with donald trump and will support trump for president. they've spread falsehoods about president obama. trump: oh, no. coffman: i don't know whether barack obama was born in the united states or not.

it didn't exactly come as a big surprise but the walt weiss era in denver is officially over. after four years as skipper, weiss stepping down today. his contract was up so stepping down probably just a matter of phrasing. the players seemed to like weiss a whole lot. upper management, not so much. the rockies improved on the field this year albeit slightly. however, that wasn't enough to

the same page. bridich hoping that's not the issue with the next guy. >> having a shared vision and being able to commit to that and being able to challenge each other on it and make sure that we're holding each other accountable to that vision is extremely important. and that's a two-way street. i think walt and i worked on that for two years as i s there. >> tonight centurylink poll question, how do you think weiss did as the rockies manager? 79% of you saying he did the best with what he had. barry bonds' time in miami certainly didn't last long. bonds was fired from his position as marlins hitting coach today. he had the job for one season. bonds not exactly a guy who brings the warm and fuzzies in to the clubhouse. don't let that video fool you. marlins weren't exactly prolific at the plate either.

leagues in runs scored. it's the most talked about shoulder in the state of colorado. trevor siemian listed as day-to-day after straining his shoulder in sunday's game. so let the quarterback drama begin, right? maybe not. gary kubiak saying he is the starting quarterback whether he will actually start on sunday, that we will have to wait and see. trevor left the game just before halftime which means we got to see the rookie paxton lynch and he wasn't half bad. 170 yards and a touchdown. certainly could have been worse. the broncos say >> we're going to approach every week to get our best people on the field. trevor is our starter. we're going to give him every opportunity to get him there on sunday. i was asked today could he play without a lot of practice? that would never be a problem for him because he's very bright. we'll push to be as good as we can be against atlanta. we make decisions once we get to the end of the week. monday night football, vikings and giants tonight. 2nd quarter, sam bradford going to find kyle rudolph for the

this one on ice. a 4-yard touchdown run. 24-10. vikings, broncos, and eagles the only teams who haven't lost this season. you're never too old to play a good old fashioned game of rock, paper, scissors. when we come back, how the game

the power of the sun and the wind. it can fuel our lives and our economy, too. over 10,000 jobs in colorado alone.

something had to be done. so, i teamed up with republicans and democrats to pass the new laws we needed to help renewable energy grow. protecting the jobs we have and generating more for the future. i'm michael bennet, and that's why i approve this message. denver nuggets playing their first preseason tonight. nurkic had 15 and 10. jamal murray finishes with the floater. he had nine. how about gomez, the no-look pass. i'm not sure if he meant to do that but it certainly worked out well. not that it matters but the nuggets got a 2-point win over toronto. the bucks game not the only game dealing with weather issues this weekend. western michigan and dayton planning to play a lacrosse game but lightning got in the way. instead the two teams decided to

decide who would win. western michigan on the right won round one. round two had to go to a third hand and things got pretty intense. [ cheering ] [ laughter ] western michigan, 2-0 winners final in that

time for the picture of the day. >> let's take a look at this one. here's kebler pass. kathleen schroeder sends this in. but wait, there's more. the mystical white horse. a white pack horse got loose and came through the picture and she snapped it. >> a unicorn. >> almost looks mystical. great shot. >> thanks for watching cbs4 news tonight. the late show with stephen colbert is next. >> have a good night. we'll look for you tomorrow captioning sponsored by cbs yes, young lady right there. >> did you see that guy at the ryder cup heckle team europe? >> stephen: oh yeah, an american golf fan, david johnson, heckled
