The gunman who allegedly killed five people at a Colorado gay club late Saturday night before being subdued by two revelers has been identified as Anderson Lee Aldrich.
The rampage occurred just before midnight at Club Q, an LGBTQ-themed venue that was hosting a drag show and dance party, officials said.
Police arrived three minutes after receiving a 911 call, and were able to apprehend the suspect two minutes later, cops said. Eighteen injured victims were being treated at local hospitals Sunday morning, in addition to Aldrich. It was unclear if they had all been shot or if some had been hurt while trying to flee to safety.
The massacre was not the first time Colorado Springs, a city of nearly a half million people located about 70 miles south of Denver, has been marred by a mass shooting.
