DENVER – Multiple students at Denver Discovery School will be disciplined after a classmate reported they had made a list of threats against several other students.

Denver Public Schools spokesperson Alexandra Renteria said that “at no time were our students and staff in any danger” because of the list, which was discovered Thursday and confirmed to have threats tied to specific students. The school is a charter school within DPS.

Renteria said a “brave” student saw the list and told an adult at the school. After the list was discovered, the district notified the Denver Police Department and Denver Public Schools’ Department of Public Safety.

Renteria told Denver7 Investigates she was unable to give further information about the incident, but said “the students who created the list will face consequences.”

She said the parents of the students who created the list were notified Thursday of the incident, that the parents of the students who were named on the list were called Friday.

Denver Discovery School’s principal Dana Ellis sent a letter to families Friday apologizing for not immediately notifying parents about the discovery of the list. The letter reads:

It is our priority to keep you informed of incidents related to student safety. This letter is to let you know that yesterday we discovered a list created by students with names of other students and threats against them. We are proud of our brave student who saw the note and told a trusted adult.

Denver police and the DPS Department of Safety were called to investigate. At no time were our students or staff in any danger. Not all of the parents of the students involved were notified yesterday when the incident happened. Thus, some parents did not know about what happened until today. This is not acceptable. My sincere apologies to these families. We will continue to learn and grow, and contacting parents about events at school will also be a priority.

We do not take threats lightly. The school will follow our District’s Code of Conduct in addressing this matter.

I would like to assure you that the safety and well-being of our students is our No. 1 priority at Denver Discovery School. Our school works closely with the Department of Safety and the Denver Police Department to report all safety incidents that occur at our school and anything suspicious that may occur in the neighborhood.

Thank you for your support in keeping our students and school safe. As always, feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Dana Ellis

PARKER, Colo. – Six teenagers have been arrested and could face charges in relation to a large party they allegedly threw at a man’s home while he was having dinner with a friend last Friday night.

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office confirmed the teens’ arrests Wednesday, but did not provide further details of their charges. The sheriff’s office did not name the teens because they are juveniles.

Mike Cox, who owns the home and had recently put it on the market for sale, said he was at a friend’s home for dinner that evening, and that when he returned home about two hours after he first left, he found sheriff’s deputies and teenagers.

Dozens of them had somehow gotten into Cox’s home and thrown a party. According to authorities, photos and videos posted on social media, the teenagers brought beer to the party and drank some champagne Cox already had in his home.

“I think we were targeted because our house was for sale on the market, and somebody saw it online and thought it was going to be empty. But it wasn’t,” Cox told Denver7 earlier this week.

The teens left a broken window in the home’s basement and broken glass in a shower.

“You can see on the floor—they were squirting champagne from standing on our counter top and squirting it all over the house. It’s on the ceiling, on the floor, on our furniture. Everywhere,” said Cox.

He told Denver7 earlier this week he hoped the teens would be prosecuted.

“They don’t value anything. They don’t value people’s hard work, their property – any of it,” he said.

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office tells Denver7 it is still looking to identify additional suspects.

DENVER – The Denver Broncos are warning fans to be wary of tickets bought from secondary markets and websites, as some fans are being left out of hundreds of dollars after buying counterfeits.

The team said Thursday that it has recently seen an uptick in the fake tickets, which have been printed both on Ticketmaster stock and sent in PDF form.

It is reminding fans that they buy tickets from unauthorized sites at their own risk, and that the only sure-fire way to get a legitimate ticket is to buy them at Ticketmaster, the NFL Ticket Exchange, at the Denver Broncos Box Office or at Broncos events.

The team says it is “working closely” with the Denver Police Department to investigate the counterfeiting schemes.

One person who bought $600 worth of tickets for the Oct. 1 Broncos-Raiders game from scalpers found out at the gate they were fakes, they told Denver7.

The Broncos confirmed to Denver7 that “several hundred” counterfeit tickets were created for that game.

After he filed a police report with DPD, the department worked with the Broncos and its security to secure the group new seats, but the Broncos say people buying from unauthorized sites do so at their own risk.

Denver7 has reached out to Ticketmaster for further comment, but the request were not immediately returned. DPD says the Broncos and its team are handling the counterfeit situations.

The Broncos ask anyone with questions about their tickets to contact the ticket office at 720-258-3333 or at tickets@broncos.nfl.net.

DENVER – The Denver man convicted of shooting two teenagers who’d gotten into his illegal backyard marijuana grow, killing one of them, was sentenced Wednesday to 80 years in prison.

The sentence was the maximum that 49-year-old Keith Hammock could have received after being convicted in July of second-degree murder, attempted second-degree murder, first-degree assault with a deadly weapon, manufacture of marijuana and cultivation of marijuana charges.

A 15-year-old boy died after being shot by Hammock, while a 14-year-old was shot and possibly paralyzed, according to police.

They had broken into Hammock’s backyard and gotten into his “mature” marijuana plants, according to police.

The shooting happened near High Street and 28th Avenue last October.

Hammock had originally told officers that he’d only seen a motion-activated light turn on in the backyard, but they later found guns inside his home—one that was at a vantage point where he could have shot the teens.
