Leeds gay bar Viaduct to host poignant candlelit vigil for the victims of Colorado shooting

Viaduct Showbar in Leeds will be hosting a vigil this Friday (November 25) to remember those that were lost in a shooting at an LGBT bar in the US. The vigil is being set up to support the victims at Club Q and also raise awareness about the current state of LGBTQ+ rights all over the world.

On Saturday (November 19) night in Colorado Springs, USA, a gunman entered an LGBTQ club and began shooting people with a rifle. Five people tragically lost their lives that day and nineteen people were injured.

After a fight with the gunman to take his weapon, an Army veteran disarmed the man and stopped him from shooting. The man who did it, Anderson Lee Aldrich, is now hospitalised and in police custody.
