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?

I read about it and was so saddened.

I did wonder why the articles put "heroic" in quotes.

Seems to me anybody who dares to wade in and DO something IS heroic, no quotation marks.

@Mamapolo2016 I agree with you on that

@MalteseFalconPunch I know what quotation marks mean.

That segment was recounting a statement by law enforcement and only "heroic" was in quotes.

Later the quotes were removed from the report.

It's subtle, but I think it's important.

What we think informs our speech and our speech reinforces what we think.

@MalteseFalconPunch It struck me as snarky.Maybe it was just a writing glitch.
