2. Former Boulder County deputy shoots at jail, Broomfield PD with AR-15, officials say (broomfieldenterprise.com) — Local readers should know that a former Boulder County deputy was arrested early Monday after allegedly firing multiple shots at the Boulder County Jail and is also suspected of shooting at the Broomfield Police Department earlier that night.

3. Colorado golf course closing after drought; neighbors in Broomfield fight to keep it watered (cbsnews.com) — Broomfield's Eagle Trace Golf Club is scheduled to close Oct. 3 after drought-related water shortages, ending decades of affordable neighborhood golf.

4. The Hidden Nuclear History Behind Today's Public Lands (gearjunkie.com) — Rocky Flats National Wildlife Refuge, just six miles from Broomfield, is spotlighted as a former nuclear weapons site turned prairie preserve that still raises safety questions for nearby communities.
