Colorado Springs LGBTQ+ nightclub shooter sentenced to 55 life terms in prison

Anderson Lee Aldrich pleaded guilty in January to federal hate and gun charges after five killed in Club Q shooting

The person who shot and killed five people and injured nearly 20 others at a LGBTQ+ nightclub in Colorado Springs, Colorado, in 2022 pleaded guilty to federal hate crime charges and was sentenced to 55 life terms in prison on Tuesday.

Anderson Lee Aldrich, 24, is already serving a life sentence in prison after pleading guilty to state charges in the 2022 shooting last year. As part of the plea agreement, Aldrich repeatedly admitted on Tuesday to evidence of hatred.
