August 8, 2025: ICE shooting shows pattern, Colorado sued over gas stove law, Philharmonic makes historic hire

ICE agents fired at a car — then obscured details of what happened. How does this incident fit into the broader picture of shootings by federal immigration officers? Then, Colorado passed a law aimed at protecting people from the fumes released by gas cooktops, and was immediately sued, leaving the law in limbo. Plus, the Colorado Springs Philharmonic is making history with a new appointment. And, you have the chance to hear the talent of the Aspen Music Festival on the Front Range.
