• Nearly 3 months after Broomfield officer fatally shot man described as 'on the spectrum,' neighbors still don't have answers (dailycamera.com) — Broomfield residents are still waiting for answers nearly three months after a local police officer fatally shot neighbor Morris Selden during a mental health crisis at his Broomfield Heights home. Neighbors and disability advocates are pressing city leaders for transparency, policy review, and better crisis training, while an outside investigation continues and community members mourn Selden's loss with vigils and letters to council. 
• Where does your city stand on data centers? (dailycamera.com) — Broomfield has hit pause on large new data centers, with City Council approving an 18‑month moratorium while officials craft rules to manage power, water, and neighborhood impacts. The move puts Broomfield alongside several northern Colorado communities rethinking how energy-hungry AI and cloud facilities fit into local infrastructure, while allowing minor changes to existing centers to continue.
