Yet another LGBTQ club was specifically targeted for a mass shooting, and were it not for the extreme bravery of two patrons, the shooting could have been much worse. Here is the latest: According to Cox Media:

During a Sunday morning news conference, police identified the suspected shooter as Anderson Lee Aldrich, 22. Colorado Springs police Chief Adrian Vasquez said that when the suspect entered Club Q, he was confronted by two “heroic” patrons who stopped the shooter.

“We owe them a great debt,” Vasquez told reporters. Police said that the suspect used a “long rifle” and immediately began shooting when he entered the nightclub.

“Colorado Springs is once again in mourning,” Colorado Springs Mayor John Suthers said during the news conference. “This is a horrible crime.”

This is not the man’s first run-in with danger and violence, either – though it is the first directed at LGBTQ, from last year:

The Sheriff’s office said the situation began around 2 p.m. Friday afternoon when they responded to a report of a bomb threat in the 9800 block of Rubicon Dr. The reporting party said her son was threatening to hurt her with a homemade bomb, multiple weapons, and ammunition…

…According to the Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded to the home and after further investigation realized the suspect, 21-year-old Anderson Lee Aldrich was in the 6300 block of Pilgrimage Road, approximately one mile away from Rubicon Dr. Deputies contacted Aldrich by phone and he refused to comply with orders to surrender.

Meanwhile, Lauren Boebert, whose district adjoins Colorado Springs, tweeted:

The news out of Colorado Springs is absolutely awful.

This morning the victims & their families are in my prayers.

This lawless violence needs to end and end quickly.

And that did it. The hypocrisy was just too much. Perhaps only MTG has been more hateful toward the LGBTQ community:

Take your *prayers* and shove them up your ass, you hateful, gun-fetishizing, homophobic bigot. This horrific tragedy lies squarely with you, due to both your words and actions.

Don't you dare try to 'thoughts and prayers' your way around the Colorado Springs shooting.

You stoke hate for a living. https://t.co/Gd6OhvCp9I

You are to blame. LGBT+ people like me are less safe in this country because of the rhetoric and hate spewed by people like you. Keep your thoughts and prayers.

You encouraged this. You are the hate that leads to violence. pic.twitter.com/aZnBg3KBVw

So are you going to stop demonizing the LGBTQ community, or no?

— John Iadarola (@johniadarola) November 20, 2022

.@laurenboebert you have played a major role in elevating anti-LGBT+ hate rhetoric and anti-trans lies while spending your time in Congress blocking even the most common sense gun safety laws.

You don’t get to “thoughts and prayers” your way out of this. Look inward and change. https://t.co/mxt6wFMVEv
