Colorado springs shooting: Here's what we know about incident and suspect Anderson Lee Aldrich

Police are treating it as a hate crime for now, but a suspect of 22 years of age, Anderson Lee Aldrich, entered a nightclub called Club 22 and fired at people. He killed five people and injured 25 when two club security members were able to pin down the suspect and prevent more harm.

Police could not pinpoint the cause for the killing of so many people in a beautiful club called Club Q in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Club Q is for LGBTQ citizens, and people met there like usual, socialising and having fun when a man walked in and fired indiscriminately.

Two people at the club overpowered the suspect and prevented any further harm. Police Chief Adrian Vasquez named the 22-year-old suspect Anderson Lee Aldrich. The cause is being investigated at the moment.


911 was called the moment the shots were fired, and within a minute of receiving the distress call from several callers, the police could dispatch a team.

A long rifle was recovered from the spot, along with two small firearms. The police did not shoot at the killer as he was already disarmed and held. The suspect has been transferred to a hospital where he is currently being treated.

The suspect, Aldrich, was arrested earlier in 2021 for a bomb threat, and at that time, the caller was the suspect’s mother. Police asked him to surrender, but he turned them down. The police had to evacuate a few nearby homes, but before any further confrontations with the law, Aldrich walked out with his hands up, surrendering to the police. The police did not find any homemade bomb or arms as threatened by Aldrich.

Aldrich reportedly called up the Gazette, asking them to remove the story about the bomb threat from their website. He complained that the charges were dropped, so the story needs to be pulled down or updated.
