When news of the shooting at Club Q in Colorado Springs broke, Kasside Butterfass said one thought came to mind: “Why?”

Colorado Springs police identified 22-year-old Anderson Lee Aldrich as a suspect in the Club Q nightclub shooting where at least five people died.COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — With the sun set over Colorado’s Front Range, the darkened Colorado Springs strip mall that has long been home to Club Q glowed with the flicker of candles and flashes of news cameras Sunday night.

According to authorities, he was later subdued by “heroic” patrons and arrested by police who arrived within minutes. Former Colorado Springs resident Terry Miles also made her way to Club Q Sunday night, laying one of the few bouquets of flowers she could find at a local Trader Joe’s on the memorial’s growing mound. One of the mourners who visited a makeshift memorial at the scene of the attack, Joseph Reininger, has lived in Colorado Springs since 1972 and said he brought flowers because he supports the LGBTQ-plus community."It makes me feel angry along with sadness,'' he said.

Among those paying their respects outside Club Q on Sunday afternoon was Colleen Bunkers, who wore a sign around her neck that read: "Free hugs from the mom of a trans son. We love you." Bunkers said her son recently moved back to Colorado Springs because he felt it would be safe, and to have this happen"is every LGBTQ parents' worst nightmare.'' Still, she remained resolute.
