i know this detective. i know his wife. she also works for us. i know his family. it's bothersome. i have since seen him at the hospital and visited him in the icu. >> reporter: there are a couple of investigations into what happened, but what people here are concerned with the most is detective brite and him walking out of the hospital someday. >> he's a fighter. he's shown us that. >> reporter: investigators tell us the shoote incident. in addition to the high caliber rifle, they recovered 30 weapons at his home and in the rv. they have been to his home before. deputies have. the sheriff didn't elaborate about what type of calls those were. >> there were several different jurisdictions on this case last week. what do we know about the officer who fired the shot against the victim? >> obviously the douglas county sheriff's office responded as well as parker police department and the castle rock pd. we know that it's a parker

fatal shot. his name has not been released to us yet. there is an investigation into whether this was what police call a good shoot. as soon as this is complete, they release his name to us. there's also body camera video that we understand from the parker police department. all of that will also be available to us and the public once the investigation is complete. >> by victim i meant suspect. thank you, anastasia. graffiti and wear and tear are closing hanging lake trail toow these pictures. the area will be receiving annual maintenance. the forest service says around 130,000 visitors climb the 1.2 miles to see the lake every year and more just keep on coming. cdot says it does plan to close exit 125 and the off ramp to hanging lake. be prepared if you're headed in that direction tomorrow. one part of colorado is in for its first freeze warning of the season. the weekend will be far from freezing. meteorologist belen deleon is in the 9news backyard. we're expecting really warm

>> exactly, but only after we get -- my goodness, after we get out of this cold night is when we get those warm temperatures. okay, there we go. let's get to the forecast because we had a cold front that swept through early this morning and that's the reason why we have cooler temperatures today. 70s around town. i'm not complaining about this. it feels really nice. in northern colorado temperatures are in the 60s and closer to the foothills temperatures are in the 50s and 60s. what this cold front did, outside of our studios here, this is our home speer and logan. you can see how those trees are moving like crazy in front of the camera. the flags are, too. clouds right now are just partly cloudy. those winds coming in from the north, gusts now up to 20, even 30 miles per hour across colorado and mostly coming in from the north, but this was a dry front that swept through. so we're mainly dry across the state. only a few clouds have increased over colorado and mainly the front range, but

it's over parts of the dakotas and out towards the midwest where we currently have that cold front causing a little commotion in the form of showers, thunderstorms and heavy rain. that's where we find the threat for severe weather this afternoon and evening while in colorado. our forecast is expected to be calm tonight, a little breezy and chilly. the rest of the afternoon will look like this. our skies will gradually clear as those temperatures drop. our overnight lows are expected to drop that's a little chilly in comparison to what we've seen previous evenings so far this season. we'll be under mostly clear skies. winds will calm down 5 to 15 miles per hour. because of that colder air in place, we'll see the temperatures drop into the mid- 20s to low 30s around the yampa river valley. so that freeze warning starts at 9:00 tonight and lasts through tomorrow morning. so it would be a good idea to cover those sensitive plants or

okay, so it's a chilly night tonight. tomorrow we'll warm up after a cool morning. the temperatures are just going to continue to warm up. after that another cooldown in store for us and thankfully we're starting to see that chance for rain back in our forecast. so i'll let you know what's in store for the rest of the weekend and also for next week, but i think folks are maybe happy right now that that freeze warning is not in effect for the front range just yet. lots of people are saying no, it's too soon. >> there's time for that. thers where we'll have that freeze warning, but i'll bring you the rest of your forecast so you'll know how cold it will get in your city coming up. >> thank you, belen. sounds good. north korea has tested its most powerful nuclear weapon yet and the international community is responding. the test was underground and triggered an earthquake. north korea says it proves it can now put a warhead on a nuclear missile.
