Late Saturday evening, at least five people were killed and about 18 were injured after a man with a rifle walked into the LGBTQ nightclub Club Q in Colorado Springs and opened fire. Law enforcement officials credited one or more clubgoers with subduing the shooter before more people were hurt. Officials are probing whether hatred may have been the motivation for the shooting.
