Sounds like there is a search for a suspect going on at the moment in the Greeley area. Unknown details and no further details to be posted at this time.

Device found, bomb squad being activated.
From Greeley Tribune:
A traffic stop just kept evolving into something worse Saturday night as the owner of the car is wanted for attempted murder, the driver escaped on foot, and sheriff’s deputies may have found a bomb in the car.
The incident occurred about 6:30 p.m. Saturday, when the car was stopped on East 16th Street outside the Greeley city limits. The driver ran from the car and escaped the area on foot.
According to Weld County Undersheriff Margie Martinez, when the ownership record of the vehicle was searched, they discovered the car was sold earlier this month to Nick Label, a wanted man.
As sheriff’s deputies began to search the car, they found what may be an explosive device, Martinez said, so the deputies backed off and called for the search dogs which are trained to detect the scent of explosive material.
A reverse 9-1-1 call was sent out to about 130 residents in the area, warning them of the fugitive. “We told them to make sure their cars are secure and to lock their homes,” Martinez said.
Label is wanted for a shooting incident on Dec. 6, when he allegedly shot a 33-year-old Greeley man three times in an apparent drug transaction in Evans.
That incident became well-known in the area because the victim stumbled out on U.S. 85 and collapsed in traffic.
The victim recovered, but Label is wanted on charges of attempted second-degree murder, probation violation, third-degree assault and cultivation of marijuana, among other charges.
Label is 22 years old, 5-foot-6, weighs 107 pounds and has brown hair and hazel eyes.

Scanning since the 70's to today.
Just an observation from monitoring the situation last night.
Agencies involved in this were not amused when the media started showing up in the area and a Weld rep in a live telephone interview sounded quite irritated by the questioning.

Ya I was noticing this too and not sure what to think about it, other than when I post some things like this a bit after I start hearing over the radio that the media is calling, which is why I have really started limiting the info I give in posts like this.

Something humerous about the whole deal. PD has been so careful not to give the location of the incident. Not even cross streets. Then PD calls for a standby in the area. They toned FD and didn't even give the address in the initial call and advised specifically that PD requested they not air the address. Then the Evans FD unit goes en route and airs the address provided on the MDT. I'm sure we are all the reason that they don't air the address, but I can't remember a time recently that someone has aired confidential information like that let alone compromised a mission. They weren't concerned that the suspect was listening and didn't know they where there because shortly after the SWAT page the bounty hunters that were surrounding the house advised that the suspect knew they were all there.

Is there any way we can dedicate the Weld County Feed to Wintag 5 and/or 6?
I'm sure someone would complain seeing as how it's a tactical operation. Especially 5 which SWAT is using. I say do it due to the fact that what they want to keep secretive they are keeping secretive, but that's just me. If they want to play like that we'll broadcast what we can.
From Greeley Tribune:
Officers believe they had a man wanted in an attempted murder case surrounded at his home in south Evans and was trying to establish contact with him late Sunday evening.
They knew little else and were waiting on a search warrant before entering the house belonging to Nick Label, said Margie Martinez, spokeswoman for the Weld County Sheriff’s Office.
Label is wanted for a shooting incident on Dec. 6, when he allegedly shot 33-year-old Phillip Romero three times in an apparent drug transaction in Evans. Romero was hit in the leg, chest and a big toe, which was severed.

I thought of that right after I posted, and should have gone back in and edited it out. Sorry.
Its was in fact Label, I would have posted up myself, but I was on scene getting footage along side Fox31. Oh I guess I take my comment back about media from earlier.
