Colorado Springs-Shooting
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — Authorities in Colorado Springs say an attacker opened fire in a gay nightclub late Saturday, killing five people and wounding 18.
The club said the suspect was subdued by patrons. Police Lt. Pamela Castro said authorities received a report of a shooting at Club Q at 11:57 p.m. and responded within minutes.
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. Castro had few details beyond the number of dead and wounded.
She said the suspect was injured but didn’t know how and that the FBI was on the scene and assisting.
