The attack at Club Q in Colorado came over a year after Anderson Lee Aldrich had been arrested for threatening their grandparents and vowing to become “the next mass killer.”
FILE- Photographs of victims of a mass shooting at a nearby gay nightclub are on display at a memorial on Tuesday, Nov. 22, 2022, in Colorado Springs, Colo. COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — The suspect in a mass shooting that killed five people at a Colorado Springs LGBTQ+ nightclub last year has pleaded guilty in the attack. Monday’s plea by Anderson Lee Aldrich comes just seven months after the shooting and spares victim’s families and survivors a long and potentially painful trial.
Aldrich pleaded guilty to five counts of murder. The defendant faces life in prison on the murder charges under the plea agreement. The agreement also calls for Aldrich to plead guilty to 46 counts of attempted murder and 2 counts of bias-motivated crime. Aldrich originally was charged with more than 300 state counts, including murder and hate crimes. The U.S. Justice Department is considering pursuing federal hate crime charges, according to a senior law enforcement official familiar with the matter who spoke to AP on condition of anonymity to discuss the ongoing case.
