Gun safety questions after Evergreen shooting, Trump-backed PAC spends in CO, one-woman show tackles a mother’s dementia
Description
Colorado law requires gun owners to safely store firearms where kids can’t get to them. But last year’s shooting at Evergreen High School has some parents there questioning whether the law is tough enough. Then, a superPAC connected to President Donald Trump is spending a half million dollars to help Rep. Jeff Crank’s reelection effort. It’s the latest sign that Republicans are worried about their future in Colorado Springs. Plus, a new one-woman show in Boulder explores a daughter’s relationship with her mother, as she slips into Alzheimer’s Disease.
