Here are the top stories in Colorado Springs today:
- Two juveniles and two adults are dead after an apparent murder-suicide on Saturday in the far northern part of the Colorado Springs area. When deputies from the El Paso County Sheriff's Office arrived at the scene after an emergency call they said the seriousness of the discovery caused them to send out a reverse 911 call to people within 2 miles of the area. People were told "to shelter in place, lock their doors and windows, and stay away from exterior walls," according to a news release from the department. A few hours later the order was rescinded.

- With snowfall averaging 42 inches a year in Colorado Springs, city snow crews are already hard at work in preparations. The city is equipped with a fleet of 48 snowplows and anti-icing material - liquid magnesium chloride - will be applied to main streets before snow starts falling. (Press Release Desk)
- While your old pumpkins may seem like the perfect treat for wildlife, Colorado Springs Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services says leaving them out for deer and other animals to eat is the last thing you should do. Properly composting and recycling your old Jack-o'-lantern is key to keeping wildlife safe. (KRDO)
