build. flashing lights visible at some points here. and for the alternate route, here's what i would suggest. we are getting very busy north of i-70. use the southbound lanes of havana to link up with the westbound mlk junior boulevard. then mlk to northbound colorado. this will be a huge delay. that. try and avoid that area if you can. right now police are investigating a shooting in lakewood near center avenue and cody street. police say that a neighbor tried to stop someone from breaking into a car. that neighbor got shot and then the suspect ran away. police say the car didn't belong to the victim. we'll bring you more information as we get it. we are trying to sort it all out. good morning, everybody, a

this was caused by equipment failure or something else. investigators just confirmed this morning they have pulled one of the black box recorders from the back of the train. this black box contains the information on the train's speed and braking at the time of the crash. right now they say it still isn't safe for investigators to get the second recorder from the engineer's compartment because of the collapsed roof and the possibility of asbestos in more than 100,000 people use new jersey transit to commute every day. the new jersey portion will stay closed today. a lot of questions surrounding positive train control, that technology that can slow down a train and bring it to a stop, i'll look into that coming up at 6:30. >> thanks a lot, colleen. 6:04 now. pretty bold to rob a bank that was already robbed earlier

and letting people know, we patient, with we are looking for them. here's the thing, that robbery on tuesday police say is similar to the robbery that happened on thursday. so it's quite possible we might be dealing with the same two guys who robbed this bank twice in one week. pretty gutsy. police say they really want to catch someone who would do something like this. >> thanks so much. a youth pastor convicted of be sentenced today. they convicted christopher hutchins. he met his victim was working at south fellowship church in littleton. . 6 after 6:00 right now. 8 days after no sign of david cook, the pitkin county sheriff's office will suspend its search.

this bank. this is not the first time they think these guys have hit. police say there are similarities between yesterday's bank robbery and another one that happened on tuesday of this week. that's a lot for police to say there are similarities. that could mean this could very well be the same two guys hitting this bank twice in one week. you can imagine why police want to catch them and officers tried their best yesterday. they set up a huge perimeter down intersections and roads even blocking some access to homes, they were circling the area for three hours, still they managed to get away. that's why police are still actively investigating and hoping to catch the guys soon. >> thank you much. new developments this morning in the search for answers over the deadly train crash then hoboken, new jersey.
