SHooter must be a Mega Maga white guy who hates the homo's.

Oh wait...  "The shooter had claimed allegiance to a leader of Islamic State. He was killed in an exchange of gunfire with police."

At Least 5 Dead, 18 Wounded, in Gay Nightclub Attack in Colorado

AWR Hawkins 20 Nov 2022

At least five people were killed and at least 18 others wounded in an attack just before midnight Saturday on a gay nightclub in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

CNN reports that the attack was carried with a firearm Club Q and 911 calls about the shooting started coming in at 11:57 p.m.

Colorado Springs Police Lt. Pamela Castro said police have located one individual in the club believed to be the suspect. “At this point in time, the suspect is being treated, but is in custody,” she said.

NBC News also quoted Castro saying, “We have numerous people transported to multiple local hospitals via ambulance and police cruisers. The hospitals are helping us to notify family who have been injured.”

Club Q used a Facebook post to thank first responders:

Club Q Colorado Springs
4 hours ago

Club Q is devastated by the senseless attack on our community.

Our prays and thoughts are with all the victims and their families and friends.

We thank the quick reactions of heroic customers that subdued the gunman and ended this hate attack.

Colorado adopted background checks on private gun sales months after the December 14, 2012, attack on Sandy Hook Elementary School. Gabby Giffords’ gun control group describes Colorado’s background check gun control as “universal background checks,” which means private sales require the same background check as a retail sale.

Moreover, Colorado has a red flag law, a ban on the sale of “high capacity” magazines, and gun storage requirements, among other controls.

Working with the Club Q queens on drag queen story time was one of the best parts of my job at the library. Club Q is so important to the queer community in Colorado Springs, and you’d be hard pressed to find kinder, more beautiful people. This is so profoundly awful.

Sheesh.

Mass shooting? Gay nightclub? Club Q?

Sounds like another psyop to me.
CIA/FBI involvement for sure!

The lying leftist media will try to say the killer was wearing a MAGA cap but it was probably a jilted homosexual that did it.

Damn shame. Colorado USED to be a great place to live before all the lefties from Ca moved there to get away from the mess they created in Ca.

I started to move back there in the early 70's after my father died,and now I am glad I didn't.

Cops identify suspect in Colorado LGBTQ nightclub shooting
Colorado Police are still investigating whether the attack at Club Q was a hate crime
By Anders Hagstrom | Fox News

    Police have identified the suspect in Saturday night's mass shooting at an LGBTQ nightclub in Colorado, but are still investigating whether the attack was a hate crime.

Police say Anderson Lee Aldrich, 22, used a long rifle to carry out the attack and was already subdued by patrons at Club Q by the time officers arrived. Authorities say at least 5 people were killed and 18 injured in the attack, though they warned that those numbers are not final.

Colorado Springs Police Chief Adrian Vasquez delivered an update to reporters alongside city Mayor John Suthers and other officials Sunday morning. Aldrich is in custody and is receiving treatment of injuries at a local hospital.

Police say they received the first call regarding the attack at 11:56 p.m. on Saturday, and the first officer was dispatched to the scene at 11:57. The officer arrived to the scene at 12:02 a.m. and took the already-subdued suspect into custody before calling for more support.

Aldrich had a previous run-in with police in 2021, when police arrested him for allegedly making a bomb threat against two homes in Colorado Springs, according to KRDO.

It was reported to police at the time that Aldrich, then 21, had created a homemade explosive device and had weapons and ammunition. Police arrived to the scene and Aldrich refused to surrender, but was later taken into custody.

Aldrich faced two counts of felony menacing and three counts of first-degree kidnapping for the incident.

Officials say the number of victims at the club is fluctuating, as some of those injured traveled to area hospitals using private means.

Vasquez says "at least two heroic people" took action to stop the shooter from causing more damage.

Way to go CNN, solid reporting, yes it's safe to say shootings are committed with a firearm, I doubt anyone thought some Robin Hood type took them out with bow and arrows.

Who could have predicted that a criminal or someone planning/committing an illegal act would ignore all those pretty laws designed to diminish the rights of law abiding citizens.

Have the liberal media approached Jocelyn Elders for a quote about how this tragedy has unfairly targeted our best and brightest?

That's not fair, I'm sure they were doing just that(getting hammered in the back room) when someone brought a gun to the hammer party. I wonder if the shooter was holing up his copy of the Koran and quoting it as he fired...there's an image for ya.

@mystery-ak

BTW,WTH difference does it make if it WAS a hate crime? SOB murdered over 30 people and not a single one was killed in self-defense or the defense of others.

Since WHEN did it become both legal and considered to be rational to punish American citizens for "thought crimes"?

Since no one has identified the weapon, how do we know it would have "qualified" as an assault weapon?
Could have been a shotgun...
