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?

And the shooting came on a day when the club was planning a memorial to all the LGBTQ victims who have lost their lives to bigotry in the US and around the world. :'(

@ChipmunkErnie Capital punishment (of which I am NOT an advocate) was abolished in Colorado in 2020. Colorado has the first openly Gay governor in the USA... Now late in 2022 a murderous, potentially a hate crime directed against the LBGTQ community ... is this ironic coincidence or was this intended?

@pdqsailor1 I think it was intended

@iamonfire696 if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, has webbed feet like a duck and has feathers like a duck... it is likely a duck...
