Suspect in custody after deadly mass shooting at LGBTQ nightclub in Colorado Springs

A 22-year-old gunman opened fire in a gay nightclub in Colorado Springs, killing five people and leaving more than two dozen injured before he was subdued by "heroic" patrons and arrested by police who were on the scene within minutes, authorities said Sunday.

The violence is the sixth mass killing this month and comes in a year when the nation was shaken by the deaths of 21 in a school shooting in Uvalde, Texas.

This is terrible that someone can have access to a gun and just walk into a place and open fire and do so much damage. The motive isn’t clear but it’s speculated that the club was targeted because it’s a LGBTQ2s+ nightclub.

My thoughts go out to all the people that lost loved ones last night.

What are your thoughts?

This is so sad. Sometimes I feel like it will only keep getting worse.

@SW-User I feel that way too. It doesn’t seem to be getting better in the US

@iamonfire696 No, and the problem is, when these things happen, rather than try to prevent it, it just becomes this political mish mash of idiocy.

@SW-User that’s exactly what it becomes. Instead of looking at this as tragic and trying to improve and make changes. People point fingers and just get upset if you mention anything about gun rights.

@iamonfire696 Exactly. It's always the same argument.
