Colorado LGBTQ+ nightclub shooting suspect expected to take plea deal

I have to take responsibility for what happened,' the suspect said in a series of calls from jail to the Associated Press

The suspect in a mass shooting at a Colorado Springs LGBTQ+ nightclub last year that killed five and wounded 17 is expected to strike a plea deal to state murder and hate charges that would ensure at least a life sentence, several survivors said.

Word of a possible resolution to the Club Q massacre followed a series of jailhouse calls from the suspect to the Associated Press, expressing remorse and intention to face consequences at the next scheduled hearing this month.
