difficult for the sheriff's office this morning because the victim couldn't give any details about his attacker to that department, and that's why they've put out this photo that shows this couple that was in the area when this all happened, hoping that someone can find them. this happened on october 3rd. this surveillance video shows that couple in an area near where that attack happened, as well as by the light rail station by the courthouse a little bit after that. according to the sheriff's year-old man was inside the courthouse, had done business by the dmv. then went to a rest room by the public defender's office on the first floor, and at that moment he was either punched in the face or someone slammed the door on him to the point that it made him fall back and break his nose. he is going to recover from those injuries. again, they don't have much to go with at this point, and that's why they're asking you to contact the investigator in this case, if you recognize

cheyenne around 9:30 last night. they don't know if the man lost control of his motorcycle or if it was a hit-and-run. now the latest on the junkins fire burning in southwest colorado in pueblo near custer county there. outside of pueblo. it's burned close to 17,000 acres. cooler weather is helping firefighters and the fire is now 3% contained. but at least five homes and more than a dozen other structures are just gone. e yesterday. we have video that shows the school bus crash at dia last month that killed the driver, a crash that may remain a mystery. an airport camera captured the bus running off the road. investigators hoped to get answered from the footage, but it doesn't show conclusive evidence. nor was there anything in the autopsy of the bus driver that

road. denver police are closing the case. >> we simply are going to have to call this one a mystery. there is no definitive answers as to why this crash occurred. >> three coaches and 15 students were hurt in that crash. police are looking for a driver who they say intentionally barreled a car into a thornton business. take a look at the video. the smash and grab was caught on surveillance video. it shows burglars breaking monday. the thieves busted windows, broke frames and got away with more than $2,000 in goods. the shop owner believes the suspects may be under age. >> anybody that comes in here is carded, and if they're not 18 they get sent out. had they been in here and looked before they would have known where our good stuff was, would have gone after that. >> this is unbelievable. the shop owner says she's been

in two separate smash and grabs, all in the last year. tesla says its new model cars will be able to drive themselves. they'll have eight cameras and sensors with twice the range of current models. they'll be able to detect objects near and around the car farther than what the human eye can see. the days of the awe tom news car is musk makes the future twice as safe. >> that is a tough sell. the return of brock osweiler to denver as the broncos play the texans monday night. >> the teams are both coming in 4-2. which team will start the next chapter? romi bean is here with a preview. good morning. >> good morning. the denver broncos taking on the texans in primetime this monday night. the broncos need their stars to rise.

could be runningback cj anderson. in his last five primetime games he averaged 92.4 rushing yards, and scored seven touchdowns. six of those rushing. clearly he likes the bright lights. the broncos need a big night from him. the team hasn't even hit 90 yards rushing in any of the last four games. and anderson needs a big night, too. in those four games anderson has averaged just 3 yards per carry and hasn't rushed for 50 yards in any of those games. output, you should expected rookie runningback devontae booker to have a busier night. this week coach kubiak said booker has earned more playing time. he only touched the ball seven times in the broncos' loss to san diego, yet he had two of the three longest plays. >> i just think when he's had opportunities he's done really good things. as a young player, we're trying to get him going as far as protection and those type of things.

better, so i think he deserves more opportunities to touch the football and when he's had the opportunity he's done good stuff. >> a pumped up run game would help them get the ball down the field in the passing game. the last three games they have only two pass completions for more than 20 yards. when you look at the last three games, you can tell opposes passing games as a threat. you won't see the big plays everybody loves until they set the tone in the run game. >> we talk about the broncos knowing what is going to happen with the quarterback situation. then you wonder how much the texans know our coach. kubiak well known there. >> wade phillips coached there, dennison coached there. kubiak kind of brought everything with him.

years. how much does he remember about the broncos? >> i wonder if it will be weird having him see his old teammates? >> i think the fans are going to boo. be prepared. the teammates say they're ready to play. no matter who it is. >> warm lug from von miller -- hug from von miller. >> then he'll take 6:54. weather and traffic every 10 minutes on the 4s. here's ashton. >> good morning. hi, alan. a beautiful shot from downtown denver. the sun will be up in about 20 minutes. it is a very cold start to the day, so make sure you're prepared for that. in the foothills temperatures in the 20s. genesee dropped down to 21 degrees there. city park is at 29. castle rock 28. yeah, these are serious temperatures this morning compared to what it has been like in the morning recently. nothing really that unusual for

compared to where we've been. some mountain towns are in the teens like leadville at 15. clear skies across the state. once the sun is up we'll see a lot of sunshine all day long. just a few high based clouds. meanwhile, a cold front moving out of the midwest and towards the east coast will bring showers and thunderstorms to the eastern half of the country. for us, high pressure building in, and that means sunny and dry weather through the weekend. in the gulf of alaska, see that big storm spinning right there? that's going to head our way for next week. looks like it portions of colorado. but at this point, it doesn't look like that moisture will make its way to denver unfortunately. that won't be until the middle of next week. we'll keep you posted. 63 today. 72 tomorrow. upper 70s for the weekend. 72 monday. game time temperatures in the 60s, including 68 for kickoff monday evening. here's joel. we have a traffic alert. live from copter 4, 128th and el dorado. you can see the heavy police presence that we have.

on scene now, getting ready to transport somebody. they were working near the wheels of one of those semis. original reports were that somebody had been hit. could have been a cyclist and trapped in some of the wheels there that we have in the semi. we're going to continue to watch this. life flight on scene. a portion of that roadway blocked off. across the denver metro area, couple of other trouble spots we're following, we've had a street sweeper that went off the road, heading eastbound along hampden. didn't make that northbound turn to get to havana. then we've got an accident as you get on chambers near i-70. not on i-70 itself. the only on highway accident now is traveling westbound along i-76. there at the top of the screen. it's at highway 85. here's a look at the speeds. southbound coming into town looking great. slow eastbound along i-270 through commerce city with speeds in the 20s.

>> all right. cold day. >> cold right foul. not too bad this afternoon. that warmup starts tomorrow. >> okay. >> live pi,,,, a man attacked me in a parkiga knife. but i carry a pistol. i fight back. that's why i'm still here. every woman has a right to defend herself with a gun if she chooses. hillary clinton disagrees with that. don't let politicians take away your right to own a gun.
