Video After The Jump
A gunman opened fire at a Colorado Springs gay nightclub late on Saturday, killing at least 5 people & injuring 18.
The suspected shooter was injured in the incident, apprehended & hospitalized, Colorado Springs Police Department spokeswoman Sgt. Pamela Castro said at an early morning briefing Sunday. Police released no further information about the attacker.
The FBI was assisting on the scene, she said, adding, "we will be here for many many hours to come."
“We thank the quick reactions of heroic customers that subdued the gunman & ended this hate attack,” the nightclub, Club Q, posted on its Facebook page.
Club Q was hosting a “Drag Divas” show followed by a DJ night on Saturday, according to its Facebook page.
The motive of the attack was not immediately known.
In 2016, a massacre at Pulse, a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, left 49 people dead & dozens injured.
