Colorado Springs mass shooting suspect was previously arrested in an alleged bomb threat incident last year, ABC News has learned. But it's unclear whether the state's red flag law could have prevented the mass shooting, authorities say.
Aldrich, now 22, allegedly began shooting a long gun as soon as he entered Club Q in Colorado Springs late Saturday night. At least five peopleand 17 others were wounded by the gunshots, according to the Colorado Springs Police Department.
Law enforcement officers briefed on the investigation confirmed to ABC News that Aldrich was previously arrested in an alleged bomb threat incident in June 2021, after the El Paso County Sheriff's Office was alerted that he was in possession of a homemade bomb. Bowman said Aldrich livestreamed a "shocking" video via his mother's Facebook account from inside Bowman's home while authorities were outside, showing himself with a gun as well as a helmet and vest that resembled body armor. Security cameras at Bowman's home also captured Aldrich entering the residence that day and surrendering to authorities hours later.
"I just thought it was really strange," she told ABC News. "But again, I was like, well, I haven't heard from these people in over a year, nobody was hurt and [I'm] just going to move on with my life." "I was like: 'Well, you know, it's late, I'm exhausted. I'll have to deal with this tomorrow.' And she and I kind of got into it a little bit," Bowman recalled. "Andy got in my face and, because I was standing at her bedroom door, he told me to get out and slammed the door in my face."
