About 18 injured in attack as suspect identified as Anderson Lee Aldrich (22)

Colorado governor Jared Polis, who in 2018 became the first openly gay man in the country to be elected governor, commended the “brave individuals who blocked the gunman” in a statement released on Twitter in which he called the shooting “horrific, sickening, and devastating”.

Police said the initial phone call came just before midnight about the shooting, and that the suspect was apprehended within minutes. By 4am local time , police had taped off the area around the club, which is located in a strip mall on the outskirts of Colorado Springs. The shooting at Club Q was reminiscent of the 2016 Pulse club massacre when a gunman killed 49 people at the gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, before he was shot dead by police. At the time, it was the worst mass shooting in recent US history until a shooter killed 60 people at a music festival in Las Vegas in 2017.
