Today we say goodbye to nightside/overnight anchor Tony Manes. Tony has been a great part of our @KOAColorado news team for three years on a shift that’s not easy to do. It was a great sendoff with @AllbrightNFL on Broncos Country Tonight. Bravo Tony on a great career!

We are celebrating 100 years at @KOAColorado and @NiaBender spoke with our trusty engineer Dylan Berichon about how KOA got on the air back in 1924!

Boulder Police says eight people now are injured from the attack on Pearl Street during a march to raise awareness for hostages in Gaza. BPD says Mohamed Soliman is also being held on suspicion of multiple charges. @KOAColorado

The FBI says it has arrested Mohamed Solomon in connection to the attack on marchers who were supporting the hostages in Gaza in Boulder. Investigators say six victims were burned from makeshift flame throwers thrown at them. At least two victims were airlifted. @KOAColorado

Denver leaders are getting excited for the opening of 16th Street (Mall) @MikeJohnstonCO says the name change reflects the entirety of the street, instead of just a singular place. Several weeks ago, DPD announced expanded patrolling resources to keep the area safe. @KOAColorado

Remember when we missed out on the steers at the Stock Show parade? Mendocino Farms provided take 2. The sandwich eatery celebrated its first Colorado location with a parade dropping off food at Bromwell ES for teacher appreciation week. @KOAColorado

Governor Polis is joining with Union Pacific on a new deal which alllows freight access through Moffat Tunnel and paves the way for future passenger service between Denver and Craig. My story later on @KOAColorado

Busy day and glad to be a part of it. On through 9am on the iHeartRadio app and on 850am/94.1fm

Denver NWSL team owner Rob Cohen and city leaders are back in front of a City Council Committee trying to get members to vote YES to move forward on plans for a new permanent stadium at Broadway & I-25. @KOAColorado

Archbishop of Denver Samuel Aquila says the search for a new Pope will be fascinating because of the expansion by Pope Francis of the College of Cardinals. He joins Colorado’s Morning News for a deeper discussion tomorrow on @KOAColorado

In his homily, Archbishop Aquila said Pope Francis’ death may have been surprising because he made an appearance Easter Sunday, but it is a reminder that God’s timeline is not our own. A poignant Mass at the Cathedral in Denver. @KOAColorado

The bells are tolling in remembrance of Pope Francis. @KOAColorado

Black bunting has been in front of the Cathedral along Colfax in Denver as the mourning for Pope Francis has begun. Archbishop Samuel Aquila will preside over Mass at 12:10 pm and we expect to hear from him afterwards. Our coverage continues on @KOAColorado

A Denver City Council committee is expected to again discuss the stadium site for the new NWSL team at I-25 & B’way. Some members think the $70M ask from the team is too much. Councilwoman Flor Alvidrez set up a tour to persuade her colleagues. My story Monday on @KOAColorado

The Picklr is coming to Aurora with its grand opening in Southlands at 10am Saturday! I got a chance to talk with owner/operator JP Parker who showed us around! Catch my chat on @KOAColorado at 6:49am tomorrow!
