DENVER — The day before the Club Q shooting suspect’s alleged 2021 bomb threat and police standoff, family members called the FBI and El Paso County law enforcement to report the suspect was threatening violence against relatives, Christians and the government, records show.
Anderson Aldrich‘s grandaunt called 911 at 11 p.m. June 17, 2021, to report that Aldrich was threatening to kill everyone in Aldrich’s grandparents’ house, according to El Paso County Sheriff’s Office records obtained by The Denver Post through a public records request.
The grandaunt — the sister of Aldrich’s grandfather — told the 911 dispatcher that Aldrich was going to kill Christians and “anyone who has anything to do with the government,” the documents show. She said she was concerned about her brother’s safety. Aldrich’s grandfather told another family member that he had been hiding in a closet because he was afraid and that he hadn’t answered his phone for an hour, according to the records.
