COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Five people were killed and dozens others were injured in a mass shooting at an LGBTQ nightclub in Colorado, officials said.
The suspect, 22-year-old Anderson Lee Aldrich, allegedly began shooting with a long rifle as soon as he walked into Club Q in Colorado Springs late Saturday night, Colorado Springs Police Chief Adrian Vasquez said.
Aldrich was injured and remains in the hospital, police said. His release will be determined by medical personnel, Castro said.The owner of Club Q, Nic Grzecka, told ABC News that they didn't recognize the suspect and had never seen him inside their business. The club is a safe haven for the LGBTQ community, Vasquez said, adding that he is saddened and heartbroken by the attack that took place there.
Colorado's red flag law, which went into effect in 2020, allows relatives, household members and law enforcement to ask a judge to order the seizure of a gun owner's weapons if that owner is believed to be a risk to themself or others. "Our prayers and thoughts are with all the victims and their families and friends," the club said in a statement posted on Facebook."We thank the quick reactions of heroic customers that subdued the gunman and ended this hate attack."President Joe Biden said in a statement that"the LGBTQI+ community has been subjected to horrific hate violence in recent years," drawing comparisons to the 2016 Pulse Nightclub shooting in Orlando.
