The 911 call came in around 6:30 p.m. and police responded to the 200 block of Hillcrest Ave. They found 88-year-old Robert Moll 'in the backyard deceased with a gunshot wound,' and 80-year-old Judy Moll inside the home, also dead from a gunshot wound, WRPD said.

Porch pirate uses stolen white school bus as getaway vehicle
DENVER (KDVR) — A porch pirate, caught on camera using a school bus as a getaway car, is circulating on social media. FOX31 learned police found the bus but the suspect is still on the run. Broncos coach arrested, accused of punching Denver officer in face Surveillance shows a porch pirate in action on Feb. 17, stealing packages off of a porch on 38th Avenue and Sheridan in Denver. The theft was in broad daylight with a painted-white school bus there for the getaway vehicle. 'Not the most subtle vehicle to do that kind of crime with,' Wheat Ridge Police Public Information Officer Alex Rose said. 'We're glad that somebody recognized it and was able to give us a call.' WRPD got a call Saturday after someone recognized the bus from the video on social media located on 38th Avenue in Wheat Ridge's jurisdiction. 'Inside the bus, we were able to find five different packages that had various Denver addresses listed to them, but it looks like the contents were mainly removed,' Rose said. 'We collected evidence. We also were able to swab for some DNA on that bus.' Officers didn't find any suspects or people on the bus upon arrival. Were my rights just compromised? Why police don't always read Miranda Rights 'When we ran the VIN, it turned out that it was stolen out of Golden, so we were able to track down the original owner of the bus,' Rose said. 'And now that original owner has that bus again.' WRPD asks anyone with information about the suspect to contact Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at 720-913-7867. On X, the agency said the bus has been involved in several criminal instances outside of Wheat Ridge. 'We certainly want to hold people accountable when they take things that don't belong to them,' Rose said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Nobody showed up to political protest after Warner Robins police try to shut it down
A busy road in Warner Robins was quiet Saturday after police warned possible protesters to keep away. Nobody showed up to what was supposed to have been a demonstration, seemingly against President Donald Trump, from 3-6 p.m. in front of At Home furniture store at 2063 Watson Blvd. The Warner Robins Police Department got wind of a flyer that was 'distributed in a local school to assemble and protest,' a Friday afternoon news release from WRPD stated. Protests were also planned for every Saturday until March 22, according to the flyer. The flyer advised anyone who felt oppressed or threatened by Trump to 'defend your rights.' It also called on Republican House Rep. Austin Scott to 'stand up for Georgians harmed by executive orders.' The president signed 73 executive orders his first month in office, NBC reported. Many orders enforced international tariffs, mass deportation of immigrants; and federal funding cuts related to climate change, health, and diversity programs. The poster urged people to bring flags and signs 'if you haven't felt safe since Trump took office …, can't 'love thy neighbor' without getting condemned …, or maybe it's as simple as cheaper eggs for you.' Average egg prices hit a record high in January due to an ongoing bird flu outbreak, according to the Associated Press. However, Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance promised in August 2024 that if elected, they would 'bring (grocery) prices down, starting on day one,' Newsweek reported. Nobody filed a permit with the police department to gather on public areas such as streets or sidewalks, or on the private property of the furniture store, officers said. The store also told officers it did not condone anyone assembling there. 'Therefore, anyone assembling will be in violation of code,' WRPD said. Officers cited municipal code sections 23-46, 23-52, and 23-64 in a news release. The laws require a public demonstration permit to be filed no more than 90 days and no fewer than seven days before the event. The city and police department said they support the rights of free speech and protests 'on designated public facilities,' but they must '(protect) property, public safety, health and welfare, and controlling use of streets and other public facilities and venues,' the news release said.
