>> he was not choked, he was not gagged, he was not suffocated. and there was really no force used on him other than that force it took to restrain him, so nothing to indicate excessive forre again, there's no tasing, there's no striking, there's no choking. there are sixxsheriffs holing different parts of his body -- holding different parts of his body, so no one has to have more force thap anything. >>reporter: the deputies were holding him down by his arms and leg, one had a knee on his backside, and then one had his hand on his shoulder but none of them were on top of the suspect. he also said that the officers used the appropriate force to keep everyone safe that

lead to a heart attack, and deputies ask nurses reviefed him before he -- revived him before he was taken back to the hospital. lance hernandez, denver7. >> two different perspectives. right now, on thedenverchannel.com, the denver7 app, we have a full report of the district attorney office into maashall's death. police are looking for a man who grabbed a woman near the campus late last night. a woman says shes was walking home and says a man walked by her in x grabbed her. it happened near high and wesley. police say the suspect is about 6 feet tall with light skin, and about the age of a college student. one of the 16-year-old girls accused of planning a deadly attack in mountain vista high school has new lawyers, not clear why the change was made. brooke higgins is charged with conspiracy to murder. right now, littleton school officials are facing criticism after the 2013 shooting at arapahoe high school. claire davis died and the

actually decide whether or not those policies should change. >>reporter: police do not need to follow the recommendations and a spokesmen tells he that a the department is not interested in clerking data on every person they contact because that could change a positive interaction into a negative one. reporting live, marshall zelinger, denver7. single digits, 20s, 30s, we had them all across colorado, one at gunnison, 34 degrees currently at pueblo. 36 at pueblo. 34 at boulder. to the east of us, oh, a big storm with tornadoes, heavy snow, sleet, freezing rain, we're caught in between, before the next storm arrives. so for colorado, it's going to weather is to the east. a warming trend, more on that broncos forecast, coming up. yeah, we have footbbll on the brain here, one game down, two more to go and the broncos chase for the championships. >> broncos and patriots square
