Victims of 2022 mass shooting at an LGBTQ+ club sue county for not enforcing red flag laws

Club Q Shooting Lawsuit - (Copyright 2022 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.)

Victims and mothers of those killed in the mass shooting at an LGBTQ+ nightclub in Colorado Springs in 2022 have filed lawsuits alleging that the murders could've been prevented if the sheriff's office used the state's red flag law after clear warning signs that the gunman intended to commit violence.

The plaintiffs in the two lawsuits, filed Sunday, include survivor Barrett Hudson, who still has three bullets in his body from that night, and other victims and relatives. They are scheduled to speak about the legal action at a news conference Tuesday — which is the two year anniversary of the shooting at the nightclub, Club Q.
