Suspected shooter Anderson Lee Aldrich was charged on 305 counts after allegedly killing five people at a LGBTQ+ bar, Club Q, in Colorado Springs, Colorado, CNN reports.
Among the charges are first-degree murder, attempted murder, assault, and bias-motivated crimes.
Aldrich appeared in court on Tuesday, where Colorado’s Fourth Judicial District Attorney Michael Allen read the charges. Aldrich — whose public defender, Joseph Archambault, revealed in court filings that Aldrich is nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns — had been previously held in custody on preliminary charges before the official charges were levied on Tuesday.

The suspect accused of entering a Colorado gay nightclub clad in body armor and opening fire with an Ar-15-style rifle, killing five people and wounding 17 others, was charged by prosecutors Tuesday with 305 criminal counts including hate crimes and murder.
Anderson Lee Aldrich, 22, sat upright in a chair during the hearing and appeared alert. In an earlier court appearance just a few days after the shooting, the defendant’s head and face were covered with bruises and Aldrich was slumped over and had to be prompted by attorneys to respond to questions from a judge.
Investigators said Aldrich entered Club Q, a sanctuary for the LGBTQ community in the mostly conservative city of Colorado Springs, just before midnight on Nov. 19 and began shooting during a drag queen’s birthday celebration. The killing stopped after patrons wrestled the suspect to the ground, beating Aldrich into submission,...
