Authorities decided to take a rare but deliberate step of taking time verifying the correct names and pronouns of the victims by working with their families, and not merely relying on what the coroner’s office provides, a Colorado Springs city spokeswoman told USA TODAY on Monday.
“It is refreshing to hear that they are taking the time to make sure they're known by the correct names and pronouns,” Hunt said. “Otherwise, it’s being even more disrespectful in death as they are by some in life.” Jason Newton, a community relations sergeant for the Colorado Springs Police Department, confirmed the approach.
'We do take our time to ensure that all families have been notified and have a chance to get proper support systems in place before their loved ones’ names and photos go out publicly," Newton told USA TODAY in a statement after the victims' names were released. "We always delay to ensure the victims and their families are treated with the dignity and respect they deserve."

LGBTQ community 'in deep mourning' after Colorado Springs shootingColorado Springs' LGBTQ community is grieving after a mass shooting at a gay bar left at least five people dead and dozens injured. The shooting occurred on the eve of Transgender Day of Remembrance. Tragic stuff. Why is ABC still posting on twitter? It calls your integrity into question. Black on black, now gays killing gays. These minorities are a menace. First off R.I.P to the lost ones. But if the LGBTQIA community would get their radicals under control stuff like this would stop happening. Pushing gender ideology and transing the kids is a good was for bad things to happen. Normal Americans don't want this stuff around.
