was in one of these containers, but said on their own, these chemicals were purchased legally. so close together that static shock, or even just a little bit of heat would have been enough to detonate them and cause an explosion. all of these explosives were removed today, and the remaining chemicals are safe enough in this house, that some of these residents were allowed back in their homes today. they still have many questions that were unanswered. that the officers were able to find these chemicals, because if they hand been so observant to see those chemicals, somebody may have died. >> i understand why they can't answer some of them, you know, because it's still under investigation. >> reporter: one of the major questions that still remains is whether or not the parents of this teen had any knowledge or

right now, police say that answer is unclear. as for the teens, they remain in police custody. they have not been charged yet. prosecutors will make a decision on that come thursday. it appears another for profit college has shut down a campus in colorado. the flyer on the door of heritage college says it is permanently closed down today. it says heritage doesn't have enough cash to we reached out to heritage, didn't hear back. the colorado department of education hasn't heard anything formally from heritage. but they have heard from a number of sources that heritage closed all ten of its campuses today. once the state gets confirmation, it will start looking for compensation for students. it follows the closing of

what convicted burglars had to say about which homes they chose to target. tonight, those same burglars told us what any did once they get inside a home. 86 responded about their methods, most said they wanted to be in and out in less than 10 minutes. many said the motive was jewelry, cash, and credit cards. >> you always want to hit the bedrooms first, because there's going to be safes in the in the bedrooms. guns and stuff like that are usually in the closets. >> when asked where else they looked, one burglar said everywhere, from the stove, to the fish tank. another said he looked for n ra bumper stickers on cars, because he knew guns were inside. he was a 23-year-old young professional, no history of depression or mental illness,

his death was related to use of high potency thc. there's not a lot known about this more potent form of the drug. >> reporter: our investigation has found no one has ever study the physical, and emotional affects of using highly pure thc products. the family is asking why not? >> i'm finding the more look, the more goals i've achieved. >> reporter: in december, 2015, mark bullard was on top of the world. he had graduated near the top of his college class and landed a great job in denver. he made this video diary, documenting his success. >> it's been a goodyear. >> reporter: and mark was looking board to 2016. >> it's time to start planning projects to start planting seeds. >> reporter: just four months later, in april of this year, mark bullard took his own life.

video, mark's written diary shows he was sinking into depression. what he did not tell his parents is he was inhaling an extremely potent version of thc. it's known as dabbing. >> i had the mindset, it's just marijuana, the not going to hurt anything. >> reporter: it gives the rush of an instant high. in colorado, limits of concentration levels. >> we don't know what happens, because we have not been studying it. >> reporter: dr. carrie franzen is an associate dean and studying cannabis for years. >> they're getting in the 600, to 800 milligrams of thc. >> reporter: compared to a

marijuana. his solution is almost 90% thc. >> the industry is chasing purity for the benefits of that. those benefits are a product that's repeatable, that's safe, and has an effect that's consistent. with purity comes potency. >> reporter: while morgan and others in the industry provide an ever purer product, and potency, it's not their responsibility under colorado new. >> he talked about, he knew that his brain was damaged, but he doesn't know why. >> we see studies with chronic users that lead to depression, and we see chronic users that think it treats their depression. both studies exist. so how are we as a society to judge, gosh, what do we know

>> reporter: mark had high levels of thc in his body when he died. >> do we know 100% that it was dabbing? no, you can't say that it's 100% sure. >> after reading through these and seeing the significant changes in his patterns, this is the only thing that we feel it points to, is the dabbing. >> reporter: the point here is that neither the industry nor the state health department knows the long term effects of the state's legislature is so concerned about the effects of marijuana on public health, it's authorized millions of dollars for studying the potential effects. our full report airs 7:00 on channel 6 in denver. we're going to tell you a lot more about what you don't know about high potency thc. >> mark bullard's death obviously a tragedy.

those folks who are dabbing, or using thc products and getting behind the wheel. on thursday night, we're talking about two other families whose kids died tragically after they were run over and killed by people using thc. >> the answer is what if they are doing something? >> to be fair, the industry really wants to know, absolutely. they think this is benign, they don't think this is a problem here, but they don't have they're just as anxious to prove this is not a problem. the water system in boulder put on a show this afternoon. unfortunately, some people who live nearby have had to have their water turned off. a water main broke along aurora avenue. people who saw it say it shot 100 feet in the air like a geyser. no word on when the water will be turned back on, and when the street will be repaired. apartment prices in denver

renter is seeing the difference yet. a small dip in denver compared to the year before. >> it's very typical for rents to go down as people move out. you get a little bit of concessions to move people in, to keep people in units and in the spring, it moves up again. at least that's historically what happens. >> so for now, rental prices in the metro are expected to stay a mixed bag. we won't know if there's a al april or may. a couple in the mood for love. joined in the hotel pool by a crocodile. then a birth control study where the guys wimped out over the side effects. >> temperatures finally going to drop into the 60s along the front range. will we see any rain, and what change tonight that suddenly turned cu from underdog to the team with the target on their

deals are the ones you don't

bronco fans bleed orange

donation that could save a life. people showed up all day for the 19th drive for life. players stopped by to say hi, and thank the fans who also had the chance to pose with the teams three lombardi trophies as a thank you for helping out. these donations have potential of saving more than 4,000 lives. >> how about that other little football team in town? >> look at you. tonight for the first time, playoff rankings. not only part of the top 25, they have made the list at number 15. the buffs are the second highest pac-12 team in the rankings behind only washington. cu will host ucla in a special thursday night game this week. they're asking fans to wear black. a new study put men in charge of birth control.

couldn't handle it. the study tested a new contraceptive technique. shots given to guys that are 96% affective at preventing pregnancy. but the study ended early when men complained of side effects including mood swings and acne. you know the same exact side affects reported by women who have always taken birth control. we decide to share it. e the sheriff's department say they found this stray alpaca on the indian lookout road near lyons. a late night swim for a couple in zimbabwe got cut short when a crocodile crashed the party. the crock snapped a few times

nothing serious. after they were out, the 6-foot crock said great, i've got the pool to myself. outside in the calm and quiet 9 backyard. how nice not to have that nasty wind. a new month, a new weather pattern? sort of. it looks like wintertime at the johnson eisenhower tunnel tonight. it has been awfully mild around the light foothill rain coming down. hard to get that moisture on the ground, but it is there. the front crossing the state from the northwest. the cloud cover spectacular, wonderful formations in the sky this morning, and again this evening. 70degrees in denver today. 73 in trinidad. november, one of our snowier

inches of snow. winds are west at 14. picking up from time to time in the backyard, but improved over earlier today. many of your favorite resorts are having it to delay the openings, such as keystone, going from november 4 to the 11th, and also reports that wolf creek ski area may extend out their opening date as well. no big sign that we are going to see high pressure will build back in once today's weather maker tracks off to the east. a lot of high, and mid-level cloud cover. that snow level around 10,000 feet, 11,000 feet. the big story is the wind. that's the issue for our neighbors to the east, along with thunderstorms. yeah, in november. wichita, dallas, back into el paso. we will be for the most part dry here. cool air following this front through. temperatures, the coolest of

for november, 61. cold air stays north. warm air shifts south. that light rain and snow, it's also on i-70 for those traveling that corridor late tonight or early tomorrow. mix of clouds and sunshine for lower elevations of the front range. but not much in the way of moisture. so a pretty quiet day coming up. our best shot at showers are overnight tonight. cool night. and a decent drive for you across the city you'll start off at 34 in vail. a low of 38 in greeley. season numbers for a change in highlands ranch, arvada, lone tree, and fort collins. nederland at 47 tomorrow. i think the wind scenario will be much improved. cloudy, mild tonight. less wind, low 39. guess what, it's going to be a chillier day.

less wind, but may need a light jacket. 61 will be the high tomorrow. maybe a shower over the weekend. a rain shower saturday afternoon or sunday. i wouldn't get too excited about it, but it's something. a couple of things going on next week, as you know, on sunday, daylight savings time comes to an end. when you go to sleep, set those clocks back one hour. just beautiful conditions around the area. this picture comi from larry pierce. a little snow, a little fog, a little cloud cover. a little bit of paradise right there.

hi everybody, the chicago cubs and cleveland indians have waited a combined 176 win a world series, so what's another 24 hours. the cubs beat the indians tonight to force a 7th and deciding game in the fall classic. allowing two runs to score. the cubs win 9-3, and even the series at 3. nashville predators arrived in colorado fresh off a bout with food poisoning that ravaged their locker room. it was the avalanche that

the avs got sloppy with the buck, and were beaten by the preds. 5-1. anything you'd like to change about the broncos starting lineup? tough, not going to happen. john elway allowed the trade deadline to pass, without making a deal. elway said he was listening everything, but nothing transpired. the broncos roster is set for the rest of the season. the broncos/raiders rivalry returns sunday night when they meet head-to-head for first place. do you know when it started. the ring of famers know. october16, 1977. >> when we finally went to oakland and beat them, and beat

provided three picks that day. i left there with a sense that we as an organization had turned a corner. and from that point forward, we were going to be whatever the denver broncos were going to be. >> even a quarterback of ken stablers ability can run a game on the seat of his pants. i didn't think i could get the ball, but somehow i came down with it. it just made that game and that win over oakland so much more special, just because i was really proud of that moment. i didn't think i could do it, but i did, and it just gave me more confidence. >> i had that same kind of hatred for a team in a good way, to say, you know, we're

against the stablers and the caspers, and the cliff branches, that started that swelling in order to get us into that '77 season, which everybody knows we won that afc championship at mile high. >> the broncos are going to the super bowl! >> that night, after we won and the fans came onto the field was just so emotional for me, because i could it was so pent up, that it was so exciting, that we had never gone further than that. i don't think it will ever be the same. still of the night comes from cleveland, ohio. where should be cubs shortstop, addson russell suffered the first world series grand slam in more than a decade.

all right, so if this cubs/indians game 7 is not the most eagerly anticipated game in baseball history, the only ones i will even listen to an argument for, will be cincinnati/boston, 1975, the day after carlton fisk's home run tied up the series at 3. or 1986, the mets and red sox, a day after bill buckner's error tied things up at 3. one, purely because of the number of years that each city has had to wait. 108 and 68, would probably be the number 1 on the list. >> can the cubs do it? what do you think? >> i don't care who wins. i just hope something crazy happens to decide the game. that's all i want. >> like a streaker? >> a streaker comes out, and robs a home run in the 9th inning. something like that. >> they won't show it. >> something like that needs to happen so we remember it

we're done, we're going to
