July 29, 2020 HSCO police receives a call about someone discharging a firearm in their area.
Deputies arrive and locate a 14-year-old teenager armed with a fully loaded Glock. The teen “claims it was purchased from an unknown person on Instagram,” sheriff Ed Gonzalez says in a Facebook post. “Not talked about often enough, are the number of teens committing serious offenses in our region. A 14-year-old should not be running around the streets with a pistol. Very dangerous situation” he also stated.
A family is mourning after finding a family member deceased in the bathroom from an accidental fentanyl drug overdose.
13 year old Jose Hernandez was found hunched over the bathroom sink dead early Wednesday morning by his grandmother.
The family says Jose had just started 8th grade at Aurora Hills Middle School Tuesday, in Colorado. They believe that Jose got some drugs from another child at the school and died from a fentanyl drug overdose.
His uncle said, “He seemed OK”. There was no history of him doing any types of drugs or anything like that. I think it was just the crowd he decided to hang out with, and maybe them thinking it was good to tell him ‘hey maybe try this out.’”
He also said, “I would just say to the parents, keep an eye open to your kids if they’re feeling sad or depressed or something, help them out you know? I know my nephew wasn’t depressed or anything like that, but maybe he was a curious kid and wanted to try it out.”
