Another massacre in a gay club left 5 dead and at least 18 injured.
A gunman opened fire at Club Q, a gay nightclub in Colorado Springs. The shooting happened just before midnight Saturday, when authorities began receiving a barrage of 911 calls.
It appears the shooter is in custody. According to the Club's Facebook page... "the quick reactions of the heroic patrons... subdued the shooter and put an end to this heinous attack."
A police officer confirmed that they had apparently caught the shooter..."They have located an individual we believe to be the suspect inside. At this point the suspect is being treated, but is in police custody."
The police did not discuss or reveal a motive, but the club itself has already labeled it a hate crime.
Club Q hosted musical performances on Saturday night, including its weekly Diva Drag Show.
The FBI is on the scene, and nearly a dozen ambulances rushed there to treat and transport the injured.
The club posted on its page: "Club Q is devastated by the senseless attack on our community. Our hearts go out to all the victims and their families and friends. We thank the quick responses from heroic customers who subdued the shooter and put an end to this hateful attack."
