A patron at Club Q disarmed and hit a gunman with his own weapon shortly after shots erupted inside the nightclub late Saturday night, stopping the mass shooting and preventing further bloodshed, the mayor of Colorado Springs said.
Patrons then pinned the suspect to the ground until law enforcement arrived and arrested him.
“When police took him into custody,” Mayor John Suthers said Monday morning, “there was an individual laying on top of him and had totally disabled him from perpetrating any further harm.”
Suthers said he believes that Aldrich, who was hospitalized after his arrest, is still being treated at an area hospital. Asked why the suspect was hospitalized, Suthers said it would “not be illogical to conclude” that Aldrich was injured by the patrons who subdued him and hit him with his own weapon.
