COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Several patrons of an LGBTQ+ nightclub in Colorado Springs are being hailed as heroes, as details unfold about a mass shooting that happened minutes before midnight Saturday at the Club Q and left five people dead and 25 others injured, according to authorities.
"At least two heroic people confronted and fought with the suspect and were able to stop the suspect from continuing to kill (and) harm others," Colorado Springs Police Chief Adrian Vasquez said during a news conference Sunday morning. "We owe them a great debt of thanks."
Colorado Springs Mayor John Suthers told multiple media sources that one customer wrangled the gun away from the shooter and hit him with it.
