Anderson Lee Aldrich, 22, has been held without bond at the El Paso County jail stemming from the Nov. 19 rampage at Club Q in Colorado Springs.
DENVER - The suspect in the fatal shooting of five people in a Colorado LGBTQ nightclub last month is set to be formally charged on Tuesday, potentially facing dozens of counts including murder, attempted murder, assault and hate crimes.
Police and witnesses said Aldrich, who was clad in body armor, stormed the club armed with a rifle and handgun and opened fire indiscriminately. The other man credited with subduing Aldrich, U.S. Navy Petty Officer 2nd Class Thomas James, said in a written statement that he just wanted “to save the family I found.”
Colorado no longer has a death-penalty statute but Aldrich could face a death sentence in federal court if prosecutors there decide to charge him with crimes under the federal code that still has capital punishment on its books for certain crimes.
