Here are the top stories today in Lakewood:

  1. Boulder set to celebrate painful anniversary. It's been a year since the tragic shooting at the Table Mesa King Soopers, and there's still more questions than answers about why it happened in the first place. (CPR)
  2. Denver continues its efforts to create more affordable housing. Finding anything that's considered affordable is nearly impossible if someone is on a limited income or fixed income in metro Denver. Denver's housing authority is doing everything it can to build as many units as possible, but is it enough? (CBS4)
  3. Colorado town running out of water. Empire's residents and businesses are living without water as the town's water treatment plant isn't producing enough water to meet demand. (FOX31)
  4. Snow will fall across metro Denver today. Travel will be difficult from the Palmer Divide and on I-70 from Denver to Limon due to wind and blowing snow. 2-4 inches are expected to fall today. (9News)
  5. Managing equity as park attendance continues to grow. As visitation at many Front Range state parks has doubled or nearly tripled in recent years, the state parks commission may have opened the gates on a new flood. (7News)
