1. Man injured in shooting during dispute at condemned northwest Aurora apartment (sentinelcolorado.com) — A man was shot and wounded Thursday morning at a condemned apartment building on Dallas Street in northwest Aurora, and police say the dispute began as an argument.

Aurora residents with any information can anonymously contact Metro Denver Crime Stoppers and may be eligible for a reward. 
2. The Biggest News in Loss Prevention Aug. 29- Sept. 4 (losspreventionmedia.com) — Hundreds of teenagers created a major public safety problem at an Aurora shopping center, where some in the crowd vandalized property and stole from nearby businesses after a sports event.

4. #Monsoon madness and Mormon Marxism(?) — Jonathan P. Thompson (LandDesk.org) (coyotegulch.blog) — A planned 12,000-resident community called Tributary is rising in Aurora raising fresh questions about where its water will come from as Aurora Water remains under Stage 1 drought restrictions. The broader essay explores the Mormon Church’s historic shift from communal economics to modern real estate capitalism, tying that evolution to large landholdings like Tributary and their impact on Western communities.
