The staff of The Denver Post won the highest honor in journalism Monday for its coverage of the Aurora movie theater massacre.
The newspaper received the Pulitzer Prize in breaking news for its print and digital efforts documenting the mass shooting that yet again put Colorado in the spotlight for an unspeakable tragedy.

He will headline shows at the Ogden Theatre (a 1,700-capacity venue) on May 12-13, playing two shows per night, at 8 and 11:30 p.m.
Tickets are $250, but Prince hasn’t played a Colorado venue smaller than 18,000 capacity in many of our lifetimes, so consider it worth it.
