Club Q shooting suspect claimed to have been awake for days before attack, newly unsealed court records say

DENVER — A police report about the mass shooting at an LGBTQ nightclub in Colorado Springs that was unsealed Wednesday reveals the attack was captured on the club’s surveillance video and says the suspect apologized afterward.

Police officers overheard Anderson Lee Aldrich, 22, “tell medical staff he was sorry and he had been awake for four days,” according to a five-page arrest affidavit authored by a Colorado Springs police detective and made public Wednesday evening.

Aldrich was charged Tuesday with 305 criminal counts, including first-degree murder and hate crimes, in connection with the Nov. 19 mass shooting at Club Q that killed five people and injured 22 more, 17 by gunfire.
