Police in Colorado Springs on Monday were expected to release more details about the weekend shooting at an LGBTQ nightclub that killed five people and injured 25 more.

Anderson Lee Aldrich, 22, allegedly killed five people and injured 25 more in Colorado Springs late Saturday.It is unclear when or how he was released from jail.

Further details could also emerge on Monday about patrons at Club Q in Colorado's second-largest city who police said rushed the gunman and stopped the attack late Saturday. Police will hold a news briefing by noon local time. Bowman described Aldrich as a heavy-set man, more than six feet tall, who rarely smiled and had an imposing air.

"It was quite something. It happened quite quickly. This individual was totally disabled by 12:02. That had a lot to do with the intervention of these patrons," Suthers told the Times.While US President Joe Biden acknowledged no motive had been established, he noted in a statement that LGBTQ people have been"subjected to horrific hate violence in recent years."

Club Q, a long-standing venue in a modest strip mall, was described by many as a safe haven for the LGBTQ community.
