The man suspected of gunning down multiple people at a LGBTQ nightclub in Colorado's second-largest city over the weekend could face murder and hate crime charges.
Police said "two heroes" -- identified as Thomas James and Richard Fierro -- confronted Aldrich and fought with him, stopping him from shooting more people. Officers responded to the scene and detained Aldrich just after midnight, less than six minutes after the first 911 call came in, according to police.Aldrich was injured in the alleged incident and remains hospitalized.
"Within a few days of that first appearance is when we will return to the courtroom and file formal charges with the court," he added. In June 2021, Aldrich was arrested in an alleged bomb threat incident after his mother alerted authorities that he was "threatening to cause harm to her with a homemade bomb, multiple weapons, and ammunition," according to a press release posted online last year by the El Paso County Sheriff's Office.
