Victims in last year's attack called Aldrich a “monster” who hunted down LGBTQ+ patrons. Aldrich pleaded guilty during a Monday court hearing.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — The person who killed five people at a Colorado Springs nightclub in 2022 was sentenced to life in prison on Monday, after victims called the shooter a “monster” and “coward” who hunted down revelers in a calculated attack on a sanctuary for the LGBTQ+ community.
The guilty plea comes just seven months after the shooting and spares victim’s families and survivors a long and potentially painful trial. The father of a Club Q bartender said Daniel Aston had been in the prime of his life when he was shot and killed.

The defendant also looked down and glanced occasionally at a screen showing photos of the victims.
Aldrich originally was charged with more than 300 state counts, including murder and hate crimes. The U.S. Justice Department was considering pursuing federal hate crime charges, according to a senior law enforcement official familiar with the matter who spoke to AP on condition of anonymity to discuss the ongoing case.
The attack at Club Q came over a year after Aldrich was arrested for threatening their grandparents and vowing to become “the next mass killer"while stockpiling weapons, body armor and bomb-making materials.
