Club Q Shooter Pleads Guilty To 74 Federal Hate Crime And Weapons Charges

The 24-year-old shooter who killed five people and wounded 22 others at a Colorado Springs LGBTQ nightclub in 2022 pleaded guilty Tuesday to 74 federal hate crime and weapons charges and was sentenced to an additional life sentence plus 190 years in prison. U.S. District Judge Charlotte Sweeney accepted Anderson Lee Aldrich’s plea deal, which allowed the mass killer to avoid the death penalty in the Club Q attack, but made Aldrich admit the shooting was bias-motivated and targeted victims due to their sexual identity or gender identity. “You went to this community’s safe place and mass murdered people, but I hope what you learned today is this community is much stronger than you,” Sweeney said before sentencing Aldrich, noting that she felt it was appropriate to sentence Aldrich during Pride Month. Aldrich is already serving five life sentences plus 2,208 years after pleading guilty to five counts of first-degree murder and related counts in state court last year. During the hearing, Sweeney asked whether Aldrich wanted to speak, and Aldrich said not at this time.
