Article Icon 1Ex-Deputy Arrested After Shooting Sheriff HQ

A former Boulder County sheriff’s deputy was arrested early Monday after allegedly firing at police cars in Broomfield and at the sheriff’s headquarters in Boulder.

Tyler Boyd Reilly, 40, called dispatch after midnight reporting anxiety, then threatened the jail and headquarters as his call was being transferred to Westminster police.

Around 1:08 a.m., a sergeant saw Reilly with an AR-15-style rifle at the headquarters door, where he fired several shots before deputies took him into custody.

Reilly resigned in May 2024 in lieu of termination for cause, the sheriff’s office said. No one was hurt in either shooting, and charges have not been announced.

Article Icon 1Lawsuit: Passenger Died After Runway Suicide

A lawsuit filed Sept. 17 claims an evacuated passenger died from smoke and fumes she inhaled when a Frontier jet struck a man who walked onto a runway at Denver International Airport in May.

Eight days after the collision, Silva Ermelinda De Cervantes, a Weld County grandmother, suffered a stroke and died. Her daughter is among more than 70 plaintiffs in the case.

Defendants include the airport, the city, and the facilities responsible for Michael Mott, who had criminal cases dismissed over competency in recent years and whose death was later ruled a suicide.

Passengers had already filed a notice of claim in May, arguing airport security failures let Mott reach the runway about two minutes after scaling a fence.

Article Icon 1Cool, Wet Weather Settles In

Colorado is in for several unsettled days as moisture streams in from two tropical systems, with the Front Range’s heaviest rain likely Wednesday.

A flood watch remains in effect through early Wednesday for Durango, Pagosa Springs, Telluride, Ouray, and the San Juan Mountains, where up to 4 more inches of rain could fall.

Hurricane Polo is expected to weaken quickly over Mexico, but its leftover tropical moisture will merge with a storm moving in from California.

On the Western Slope, highs are expected to run below normal through Wednesday. Forecasters expect drier, warmer weather to return by Friday and into the weekend.

A Note from Cole, CEO of The Flyover

Dear Reader,

Buried in the official editorial guidelines of one of the world's largest news organizations—on the books for decades, published for anyone to read—is a remarkable sentence. It says the word terrorist "can be a barrier rather than an aid to understanding."

The written policy is that the plainest true word for an act of terror gets in the way of understanding it.

That's not one outlet's quirk. It's mainstream media doctrine. And last month, you got to see where doctrine like that leads. Ahead of the 25th anniversary of September 11, reporters at another major news organization, a national public broadcaster, received a memo from the standards office: "Do not refer to the Sept. 11 attacks as terrorist attacks."

The approved language for the deadliest terrorist attack in American history, in which nearly 3,000 people were murdered, was "hijackings that led to plane crashes."

The memo leaked. Two days of daylight later, the broadcaster backed down. Sort of. They carved out an exception for 9/11, and only 9/11. The rule stands.

And their defense was telling. They didn't argue that the rule is right. They argued that it's the industry standard and that newsrooms everywhere follow the same practice.

The worst part is, they're right. It is the standard. That's the problem.

You know why we exist. The truth isn't a barrier to understanding. It's the only road there. The facts arrive the way we found them, in plain words, and you decide what they mean. That's your job, and we'd never dream of doing it for you.

We call things what they are.

We keep the spin out and trust you with the facts.

And The Colorado Flyover stays free.

A terrorist attack is a terrorist attack. We'd print that sentence any day of the week. No memo required.

So today I'm asking: if news that calls things what they are is something you want to see thrive, will you stand behind it?

Support the news in plain words. Free, every morning.

Your Insurance Rate Might Be Higher Than It Should Be

A lot can change in a year. Insurance companies constantly adjust their pricing, and the company that offered you the best rate last time may no longer be the most competitive. In fact, Insurify projects rates will change in 35 states this year, making it worthwhile to shop around even if you've been with the same insurer for years.

Instead of calling multiple companies or filling out the same information over and over, Insurify lets you compare personalized quotes from more than 120 insurance providers in one place. The process is free, takes just a few minutes, and could help you find the same coverage for less.

Many drivers simply renew their policy every six months without checking what else is available. A quick comparison could be one of the easiest ways to lower a monthly bill.

Compare your rates with Insurify today and see if you could save.
