Two heroic bystanders fought a gunman as he opened fire inside a gay nightclub in Colorado at the weekend. Police have paid tribute to the two patrons for their brave actions, which saved countless lives.
The incident occurred on November 19 when the gunman, Anderson Aldrich, burst into Club Q and took aim at revellers with a "long rifle". The 22-year-old began shooting at nightclub patrons as soon as entered the premises, according to officials.
