LDS officials condemn nightclub shooting, say suspect was 'on the roles' of the Church, but not active
Anderson Lee Aldrich, 22, faces murder and hate crime charges following the attack Saturday night at Club Q, a gay nightclub in Colorado Springs. Aldrich allegedly used an AR-15 style semiautomatic weapon during the shootings before he was subdued by two bystanders.
“The senseless act of violence in Colorado Springs is of great sadness and concern to us. We are greatly troubled by any violence in our communities and condemn most especially violent acts that are the result of intolerance against any of God's children," the statement read."We join with others in mourning the loss of those whose lives were taken and offer prayers of comfort and deepest condolences to their loved ones.
Aldrich has yet to be officially charged, but along with the murder charges, he also faces five charges of committing a bias-motivated crime causing bodily injury, court records show.
