Survivor Joshua Thurman says the LGBTQIA+ 'community is shattered' after a gunman opened fire inside a Colorado Springs nightclub.
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.
Travis said he has visited Club Q often and"this is a fantastic place that makes it safe for everybody in the LGBTQ-plus community. It was a place where you could come and forget about work and it was a home to everyone."'WHEN WILL IT STOP?':'Every LGBTQ parents' worst nightware' "I want them to know they have been through so much to get where they are and they don't need this on top of it,'' she said."They are loved, precious and we care."
