Suspected shooter Anderson Lee Aldrich was charged on 305 counts after allegedly killing five people at a LGBTQ+ bar, Club Q, in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Aldrich appeared in court on Tuesday, where Colorado’s Fourth Judicial District Attorney Michael Allen read the charges. Aldrich — whose public defender, Joseph Archambault, revealed in court filings that Aldrich is nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns — had been previously held in custody on preliminary charges before the official charges were levied on Tuesday. During a hearing on Nov. 23, a judge ordered he be held without bond.
Aldrich allegedly opened fire at Club Q late Saturday night, Nov. 20; at least five people were killed in the shooting, and 25 were injured. Upon arriving at the scene, officers were able to immediately detain Aldrich, who’d reportedly been “subdued” by customers, including. Two firearms were recovered at the scene, including an AR-15-style weapon.
“While the suspect was inside the club, at least two heroic people inside the club confronted and fought with the subject, and were able to stop the subject from continuing to kill and harm others,” Colorado Springs Deputy Chief Adrian Vasquez said at a press conference on Nov. 22. “We owe them a great debt of thanks.”
Following Aldrich’s arrest, reports emerged that they had been arrested last year after their mother said they threatened her with a homemade bomb and other weapons. While authorities did not find any explosives at the time, questions were still raised as to why authorities didn’t trigger a “red flag” law that would have allowed them to seize the weapons Aldrich’s mother said they had. also reported on Nov.
