this is 9news. police have arrested a man suspected of kidnapping his own son. officers in colorado springs were on the hunt for 39-year- old jonathan court bayty. they say he got into a domestic violence incident with the infant's mom. he reportedly threaten to kill

baby. when she went to call police, he left with the baby. the search lasted hours. 45 minutes ago, police told us they caught him. another story, larimer county deputies are telling residents to be vigilant and cautious. because they still haven't found a teen who reportedly shot his brother over night. deputies consider the 17-year- old suspect armed and dangerous. several communities close to csu's fort collins campus were alerted. the shooting happened on south over land trail. the two brothers had gotten into the teen was last seen wearing a white shirt and shorts with blood on them. investigators want to hear from anyone who has more information. denver police say a wanted suspect injured in an officer involved shooting early this morning has died. the shooting happened in the baker neighborhood before 3:00 a.m. police say when they confronted the wanted suspect, he had a knife and refused to surrender. officers used a stun gun on him. but they say he continued to

none of those officers were hurt. police found and detained a second man who was on the roof of the home. no word yet on his connection to the man killed. we are learning more about the circumstances under which an airman at buckly air force base shot and killed his wife this week, 21-year-old brian lebron rivera was arrested for felony manslaughter. he told police he accidentally shot his wife while they were handling a handgun. investigators say he told them genesis rodriguez how to take a gun from someone when he accidentally shot her. lebron rivera says his wife had his gun when he got out of the shower and he did not -- officers found rodriguez dead at the scene. ron rivera is an airman first class. a flash flood emergency has been declared in downtown kansas city where torrential

says 4.5 inches of rain fell during a 24 hour period. the down pour began last night. and the city was quickly inundated. flash floods, swamped cars, impacted several water rescues. in some areas, water reached the rooftop of cars. residents were urged to move to higher ground. emergency crews were seen checking for vehicles looking for victims in then. but none were found. no reports of injuries. storms over the kansas city area last night we brought the threat of tornadoes earlier in the day. as advertised, the temperatures have warmed up in time for the weekend. it looks like we'll get a little warmer still tomorrow. however, before that, as we look at sports authority field, we may see a few isolated thunderstorms in the area. and it could get a little chilly over night. get ready if you're going to the broncos game. meteorologist danielle grant joins us with more.

ready that are doing some tailgating, i think maybe one or two isolated storms could potentially creep through. but after about 7:00, 8:00, once the game gets going, i think they should be just fine. a really pleasant summer evening to take in some football and enjoy all the fun down there. one or two brief storms potentially creeping into the downtown denver metro area. by 6:00, 7:00, temperatures still in the mid to upper 70s. and by 10:00, when the guys are winding down the game, hopefully coming off the field with a be incredibly comfortable. we'll be watching for partly cloudy skies. right now, still monitoring a few showers. not a lot of action here in the city. that's a okay with me. across the eastern plains, we've had some severe thunderstorms across cheyenne, it kit carson counties, everything shifting east into kansas. i've seen reports of half dollar sized hail within that one particular cell and 60 miles per hour gusts. as we go throughout the remainder of this afternoon and evening, one or two just might

we're left with a few clouds out there. and then over night, those clouds will start to thicken up and build back into the city. it was just a gorgeous start to the day. temperatures now in the low 80s here in the city. greeley, and fort collins, we're at 86. same in sterling, 50s and 60s. mainly up in the mountains. the rest of this evening, one or two storms within the next hour or two. and then things start to wind down. we're going to be watching a beautiful, beautiful looking evening. tarhonda, hopefully we're going to be watching the broncos, we're decked out in our orange, we're ready. >> we're wearing orange, hunting for a w. we know we're going to get this one. >> you ladies are confident. i like that. speaking of the broncos they will face the rams tonight in denver in their third preseason game. kickoff is set for 7:00 at sports authority field. that's where rod mackey and mike klis join us tonight. >> reporter: i think it's going to be the final time where we

for week number four if we actually know who the quarterback will be after this one? >> you're going to have to figure out who's going to pad that fourth game? you know, will it be mark sanchez actually playing in the fourth preseason game. right now it looks like trevor simeon is one solid half away from being the quarterback against the carolina panthers september 8th at which point he will have shocked the nfl universe. because he was the after thought in this and now here he is, one good half away from becoming the opening day starter of the super bowl champion team. >> even though sanchez has made those mistakes which kubiak has preached not to do, simeon has played himself into this position. he's made it a competition. when they brought in sanchez, and didn't add other players. a lot of people thought it would be mark. but it's been what trevor has done well. we saw that in the last game.

course. >> i think simeon gave them a nice option. there's no doubt about it these guys thought mark sanchez was going to win the job. he had the experience, everything being equal. they wanted mark sanchez to be the quarterback on opening day. what hurt sanchez was that he had mistakes piled on his history. he's got a history of turn overs. and then he comes out here and he has the pick against the bears. he has the two fumbles last week against the 49ers. plus he had some picks in practices also. all that worked against him. i think they did want mark sanchez. but then they said, you know, look, this other guy is kind of conservative. he's solid. he's not spectacular. but it's what this team needs given that great defense they have. plus the running game. so simeon right now, kubiak i think peoples is the better feet. >> it'll be interesting to see if lynch gets in to start the second half or how much he plays. you want to get a look. john lynch said it up in the

the ones. let's see if demaryius thomas can track the ball down when back up receivers cannot. >> i think the key, whether or not he comes in second, is that lynch is going to play a lot. i don't think sanchez is playing much in this game. i think you'll see a lot of simeon early in the first half. i think you'll see a lot of paxton lynch in the second half. where mark sanchez fits in there. a series or two in between. a series at the end. but a lot of paxton lynch and simeon tonight. >> it'll be we'll have more coming up later in sports. don't forget about the pregame show at 6:00. and kickoff at 7:00 on channel 20. can't wait for that. everywhere you go in denver, people are talking about this. who will that quarterback be? hopefully we'll know a little bit more after tonight's game guys. very good. all right thank you guys appreciate that. >> if not, i got a nine-year- old with a heck of an arm if they need somebody. here's another football story that's got people really talking today.

much bigger waves for what he did before last night's game than what he did during the game. kaepernick sat during the national anthem before the preseason game against greenbay. following the game, he told a reporter quote, i am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color, end quote. >> some people have issues with the black lives matter movement. but when it comes to the american flag, there's some sensitivities, he said he he's 100% behind this cause to the point where he even said they can take football away. they can take my endorsements away. but i'm going to stand up for what i believe is right. >> the 49ers released a statement saying while the national anthem is a special part of the pregame ceremony, the team recognized the right of an individual to choose to participate or not. the nfl says while it encourages players to stand during the anthem, it has no policy requiring them to do so. this certainly has a lot of

it's making headlines. >> it's all over. because like you said, there are a lot of real sensitivities with the national anthem, with military families and people whose families gave their lives and they're saying well, this doesn't correlate with the message that you're sending. >> people are taking sides on this issue. >> absolutely. i think we're going to dig deeper on this. >> we'll see this story for days to come. nbc's hit show the voice will be spending quite a time workers to test their skills in a competition at the jefco fairgrounds. how the minnesota state fair honored the life and music

colorado is no straer unusual to see the kind of competition held at the jefferson county fairgrounds to day. we sent 9news reporter noel brennan to check out this national competition. >> reporter: there's a name for that competition of skill. >> go, go, go. >> reporter: held on county fairgrounds, where everyone seems to wear the same hat. pit digging might be an unusual event.

cheering though. >> reporter: come on guys, dig in. colby vallejo says this is still a rodeo. >> we are in beautiful colorado. we have a gas house rodeo going on. >> reporter: the national gas rodeo hosted by xcel energy. all competitors are utility workers. >> these are the guys that keep us all warm and keep our hot showers going. >> reporter: go, go, go, go. >> reporter: 55 teams show their stuff in front of cameras and a crowd. >> well, if you're a gas person it is. >> reporter: especially if you're a member of the gas house gorillas. >> we have two teams from springfield missouri and we're all rookies. we've never done this before at all. >> reporter: they might be rookies but they fill gas meters all the time. just never under this kind of pressure. >> good job guys. >> reporter: after a race against the clock, and dozens

>> good job guys. >> reporter: this won't be their last gas rodeo. >> i don't know how you can not get excited. it's awesome. >> reporter: these elite gas crews competed in two other events this afternoon. you know it's serious athletic competition when they create a bobble head for the event. you know, it's a bobble head that some in the news room say bears a very striking resemblance to a certain reporter. >> it look look at that. i will never look at a gas man the same way, or you noel. this is that call before you dig thing. it drives that message home. >> it was fun to watch. it made you appreciate what these guys do on a daily basis. >> can we see you get out there and dig too? thank you for that report. now i know who to call if i have a problem at home. when you think of prince, you

purple. it was his fan's way of honoring him in his home state. the event took place at the minnesota state fair honoring the late pop artist, many people were dressed head to toe in purple, t-shirt, hats, shoes, even more. even fair food was purple. prince's former dj dudley d performed and fire works were set off to end the night. for fans it was a chance to come together and celebrate prince's life, music, and legacy. >> i'm just happy that i have the chance to be here can all come together as a community and just be happy. >> everybody who has purple and they're passing somebody else in purple, they're smiling at each other. people are happy. >> he's bringing people together. prince died on april 21st of a drug overdose. he was 57 years old. >> and will always be remembered. >> oh my goodness, yes. i listen to his music more than ever now since then just

>> he'll never be forgotten. his music will live forever. there's a chance we'll see isolated storms across the front range this evening. then it looks like sunday will be warmer and dryer. you know colorado, up and down up and down. just wait a minute, it'll change. a look ahead to the coming workweek, next in danielle's

meteorologist danielle grant here in the lovely backyard, temperatures per neck perfect in the 80s right now. we're going to be good to go for the broncos game. it looked really dry around here. not only in the metro area but the high country too. what a great day no matter what place you are across colorado, the mountains, stunning, a few clouds out there. some blue skies. it looks so lush out there the loveland ski area. where they did see snowfall earlier this week. downtown denver, a mix of sun and clouds. but over all we've been storm- free. and we're crossing our fingers it stays that way through the rest of the afternoon and evening. 85 at dia. 90s in lamar. hot across southeastern colorado. upper 70s in grand junction as well as rifle. for now at dia, 82. plenty of sunshine out there. the winds coming out of the east/southeast at 8 miles per

and i think it really is going to be a struggle to get any of those thunderstorms to form around here and deliver some rain. here in the 9 backyard, temps sitting there at 82. throughout this afternoon and this evening, we'll watch for a few showers across the state. you can see this storm system, the center sitting over parts of the desert southwest. it's still whipping up all kinds of moisture into parts of new mexico, colorado as well. here in town, we're not looking all that bad out across the san juans kind of a ff but certainly plenty of lightning strikes toward pagosa springs. this one packing a pretty good punch. severe thunderstorm warning for folks in cheyenne wells until 5:30 or so. 15 minutes or so to go. this evening in town, about 56. storms should be moving out within the next couple hours state-wide. then we'll go with cloudy skies over night. it should be a comfortable

plains. 40s in grand lake, frisco, up to aspen, and then as the rest of the evening pans out. not too bad at all. 10:00, 10:30 at night. we're winding down on the broncos game. we'll be watching clouds shifting in from the south over night. potentially a few scattered showers out across the central mountains and then by tomorrow afternoon, a couple of those once again hopping over the i- 25 corridor making their way across the eastern plains and things still going strong mainly in southern colorado. as far as tomorrow goes, we're looking pretty good. a couple degrees warmer than today. we start off the morning with fog in some places. the morning clouds. those move out around lunch time. and we'll be watching for storms possibly creeping in again. they're going to be isolated. one or two. not everyone sees the rain. but everyone will see the heat. 90s in sterling, south toward lamar, we'll be at 63 in frisco. upper 60s in grand lake.

afternoon, sunshine pops up. we're looking good, feeling good, and high temperatures are seasonal for this time of the year. we do have a bit of a system that starts pushing closer into colorado on monday and tuesday, that gives us a better shot at the thunderstorms. upper 70s, low 80s, a brief cool off. and then as we head toward the tail end of the week, and into labor day, it looks fantastic. a little bit more sunshine for that holiday weekend. and highs returning close to 90 degrees. i can't believe we're all ready in it seems like summer just got started. it just went like oh what's that? that was summer. it's gone. >> the leaves are turning colors. the cold front's are coming. >> not yet. before we know it. >> i want to hang on as long as we can. >> me too. >> all right. thanks danielle. you bet. fans of the voice may recognize one of the stars of the new production of the phantom of the opera. >> that production is now in denver. we'll hear from that performer,

25 years ago a sports arena was transformed into denver's buell theater to host the national tour of the phantom of the opera. starting this weekend, andrew lloyd webber's legendary musical is back in denver. of course it has a new production, it has a familiar face too for anyone who's a fan of the voice.

christina aguilera's team, he now plays the phantom. and he says one moment on the voice completely changed the way he performs. >> i'll never be as nervous as i was for the blind audition for the voice. it was an unusual circumstance to be thrown out there into this crazy situation and you're hoping that somebody turns around for you. and i was lucky enough to be on that premier episode after the super bowl, and 36 million people tuned in and having that first blind audition of terror certainly makes everything else pretty simple. not that you can't get nervous in an excited way. but it will never be like i'm going to go throw up in the corner. >> that is a good point. the phantom of the opera will be at the buell theater until september 11th. coming up later in our news cast, stay tuned, because he needs your help. the cast needs your help getting to know denver while

>> it's a fun place you guys. lots to do. the first weekend of the colorado state fair is under way in pueblo. marching bands performed in the colorado state parade this morning. today is band day at the fair. all marching band members get in free. the fair runs through september 7th. it includes competitions in everything from rodeos and hey bailing to cheesecake and cookie baking. i'm getting hungry here. opening day events on included a 4h horse show. performances by travis tritt and jake worthington. >> you have the drive down to pueblo to get to the state fair. >> to get to that cheesecake. >> you go and stay the night in pueblo and hang out at the fair. it's good for families. an anonymous act of kindness at a st. louis area barbecue restaurant has gone viral. also ahead, an automated lawyer that helps drivers fight parking tickets that they feel

a restaurant. the boy's family was surprised by an anonymous act of kindness. >> dinner in rock hill will never be the same for cynthia tipton. >> it's a restaurant we've been to before. bandannas in rock hill. usually my son does very well there. >> thursday night tipton and her family just finished eating at their table when things took an unexpected turn. >> my daughter had very innocently been teasing him just like brothers do. and he got embarrassed. >> for tipton's ten-year-old son nolan that embarrassment led to a full melt down. >> very loud crying, more like a scrolling cry which is what he does. >> nolan has autism and melt downs are fairly common. >> i just knelt down next to his chair, i was rubbing his back, i was whispering in his ear saying it's okay. >> which seemed to do the

laughing again. at the top tipton was grateful she wasn't getting dirty looks but what happened next was completely unexpected. >> we went to ask for our bill, we were told that another family had paid for us. >> i told them well, if you want to pay their bill, we can do it however you want. that's fine. >> amy nelson was asked by the family she had been serving to give tipton this note. it reads in part mother you are and what a beautiful family you have. >> i had never seen her before. >> the bill was roughly $40 with an additional tip. it's an act of kindness that she says she'll pay forward. >> if you're seeing this, thank you so much. >> what an incredible story. that was ksdk's michelle london in st. louis reporting. tipton has post add photo of the receipt on facebook and

meal would see it and hopefully we can figure out who it is so the family will know she's grateful. this post went viral so quickly and tarhonda, you and i were talking about how you never know when a child is having a melt down like this you don't know. >> and don't assume a child is just misbehaving. that's not fair for a family. that teaches us all a lesson. i know i'll be more patient when i'm reminded of things like that. i hope someone's patient with me too. >> you never know. >> youve i love that. i love those stories. ood news. >> can't wait to see who that mama is. i hope we do a follow up. that would be awesome. if you're waiting for an update on the weather, wondering maybe it changed since we spoke to you last, danielle grant will come back in and talk to us about that. we're watching and waiting. sam and ron talk about the broncos quarterback question,

i don't know about you, but it's kind of chilly in here. that has me thinking about fall. ask when in the world is that going to show up? officially, 26 days away. september 22nd.

awfully fast. you can see over looking downtown denver, a few clouds out there. a little blue sky. mother nature trying to stir up some storms. but i just don't think she has it in her. she'll keep them out there across the san juans. severe cell pushing out into kansas. for now, here in denver, what you see is what you get. it's been so quiet all day long. just a couple darker clouds kind of here and there. a few light showers off to the foothills. but otherwise, i think we're good to go. tomorrow should be another warm one with highs in the up 80s. and look at this you guys, a brief little cool off, monday and tuesday, better shot at seeing rain around here, and then what a labor day weekend, am i right? i mean seasonal, sunshine. >> fall has been sneaking in. like it's like hey, hey, i'm right here. >> those cold mornings, right? >> this morning was actually really chilly. >> i put on my sweater yesterday.

i've been waiting to wear it. my 10-dollar sweater. it's on facebook. let's talk to some other guys who got some good things to say right now. sam and ron with sports abc. sam, the broncos have named trevor simeon to start against the rams, does this mean to you that the quarterback competition is over? >> pretty much. i mean to , got it. it's the third game. the dress rehearsal game. he's starting. i guess the real race, and it's funny that now we're worried about who's number two. and it looks like paxton lynch has over taken the veteran, mark sanchez there. >> i'm not sure anybody has over taken anybody. i think all three guys on some level or another reminded the broncos of i wish we had somebody else. but i think this, trevor simeon of all three of them probably

and that's why he's there. i look at the big picture and i think to myself, trevor simeon, mark sanchez, mark sanchez trevor simeon, what does it matter. because paxton lynch eventually is going to have the job. and i think it's going to be sooner rather than later. >> you said that. we talked about the corner backs in the past. i think i told you that just before the start of training camp, that we'll get used to saying the name, and even going back to the draft, when you mentioned that ricky hunley was a quarterback whisperer. i said he was going to compete for the job. >> and he has. >> mark sanchez is really disappointed that here's a guy that has all the experience. and they brought him in to say okay boys, let me show you how it's done. and all he's done is let those guys show they're just as good. >> they brought them in to give

they figured he'd get the job. and from day one they found out he is who they thought he was. thank you. and they just realized, can't do it. with this kind of a defense, we can't play somebody that turns it over all the time. >> but i don't think this effects the team the way some people might think. some people have gone back to the 99 season. that's different. the 98 broncos and the guys who came above it. they went to war with bubby. none of these guys, they don't know any of them. >> it doesn't matter. we're going to start with trevor simeon and see how it goes. the only thing we know is that paxton lynch, eventually because of his pedigree, is going to get the job and probably keep the job, if he plays well enough, he's the broncos future. and he might be their present. >> set mark sanchez free. that's the question everybody's

if he's not your back up you don't want to pay that money to be. >> he's like the boy trend that buys all the candy and the flowers but he can't get the nuts and bolts of the relationship down he's got to go. >> that sounds very bio graphical. >> i'm a, not dr. phil, he's z,

from colorado's sports leader, here's rod mackey. welcome back to sports authority field at mile high as we continue to countdown to the broncos and rams. tonight you will see trevor simeon start for a second straight game. and in the mind's of most, unless simeon completely implodes like multiple pick

starter against carolina, thursday night in that opener that we're all looking forward to so much. so the big question coming into this is who will back up simeon? mike klis? drew soicher both join me now. we had breaking klis. that's what we call breaking sports news. is mike on twitter coming out with breaking news ? we now know when simeon sits who will back him up, at least for tonight. >> paxton lynch, you figured since kubiak kept it if it was sanchez, he could have announced it. it is paxton lynch. they want to give him a series with the first teamers to start the second half. i think simeon goes the first half and then paxton lynch played well with the third stringers. now let's see what he can do with the big boys against jeff fisher's a-listers on defense. that's a good defense. so if those two guys play well, i think mark sanchez's employment with the broncos is a little shaken.

information, that mark sanchez doesn't even play tonight. perhaps is cut in a couple days and we've seen his last pass as a bronco all ready. >> it's possible. right now i think this is plan a and it is sports. and it's live sports. and we don't know -- we're better at telling what did happen than predicting what's going to happen. but right now the plan is simeon first half, paxton lynch second half, mark sanchez is gets hit, heaven forbid someone gets hit and is knocked silly for a couple plays, mark sanchez will be ready to go. it's not over yet for sanchez. i still think how these two kids perform has a lot to do with his future. >> i know if you get rid of sanchez, you don't have to give up that condition. and you do save money. but this is a good plan b. what happens if simeon gets knocked around off the bat in game one. paxton is going in to face that carolina defense.

sanchez is 4.5 million. maybe you can cut that down to two. the other thing working against sanchez though, you hate to keep him on the roster as the number three and then have to give philadelphia a seventh round draft pick, if you cut him, you don't have to give philadelphia that draft pick. that's kind of conspiring against mark sanchez. >> it makes the third preseason game so interesting. >> all the preseason games have been interesting. thank goodness for the quarterback question. something we'll talk about much champs are going to open with a quarterback with no nfl snaps. >> we're going to have an hours worth of you on the pregame show. don't forget. the pregame show with mike, with drew, chad brown will join us, we'll have it at 6:00. you'll have to turn the channel, it's over on channel 20. other positions of interest, positions that could change in this game, how about wide receiver?

receiver. and aaron matas has his money on, cody latimer. >> no longer second guessing, cody latimer has the inside route on the broncos third wide out position. because he's breathing a little easier. >> not too much worried about the three spot. i'm worried about getting on this team first. >> you would think the receiving core is missing peyton manning. in a weird way, latimer is happy number 18 isn't around any more. >> for me, it's not being so much nervous. i was always nervous around him. so it's like a fresh start for me. if i go out, i mess up, and i'm going to run fast and play fast and make plays. >> he's done so in training camp. >> three consecutive catches. >> the third year can be a launching point for young receivers. maybe latimer is ready to take off. >> i'm excited for what's to come this season. i have to keep working hard. and keep making plays.

through his first two seasons in the nfl. aaron matas, 9news. >> aaron, thank you, back to the quarterbacks and more evidence that mark sanchez's free fall has become an historic free fall. he's listed behind trevor simeon, perhaps behind paxton lynch, and now you can find sanchez behind kicker brandon mcmanis. you see it there. the kicker gets love. on the program, his picture appeared above the name of sanchez and the back up punter. mcmanis was the team scoring star and big things are expected from him this season as well. we are not just about football on this show. how about a little baseball? an early game today between the washington nationals and your colorado rockies in dc. first pitch, 11:00 a.m.

to their four-game losing streak, and this will help. the worst throw by a pitcher in baseball history. mark putting a tad too much on that under hand throw. don't throw under hand. i don't know if that ball has come down yet. it wasn't the national's day. pick this one up. tied up at 4 in the 11th. and it's tied no more. make it rockies win, the streak is over. that play by the pitcher was pretty good. but it was not the play of the day. in fact, we've got perhaps the play of the year and it comes from soccer. high school soccer right here in our backyard. columbine taking on thunderridge, rebels junior, dillon pritchett etner and the goally for the grizzlies, a
