COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Nov 20 (Reuters) - Five people were killed and 18 injured in a shooting at a gay nightclub on Saturday night in Colorado Springs, Colorado, police said.

A suspect was in custody and was being treated for injuries after the attack at Club Q, Colorado Springs police Lieutenant Pamela Castro told a news conference.

Police got the initial phone call just before midnight about the shooting, Castro said, adding that upon arrival, officers located one person who was believed to be the suspect inside the club.

Sad, I wonder how many feds the shooter was in contact with. I'll lay 10-1 he was known to authorities.

I hope this is just bad writing and a suspect is not out already?

What does adding the word 'gay' do for the story?

Why does that matter?

Why are the police protecting the ID of the suspected murderer?

Has the media reflexively blamed this on MAGA yet?

And did Paul Pelosi make it out of the club safely?

It’s an accurate description of what kind of bar this was?

The world is enamored with groups of people who associate in collectives because they are failures as individuals.

A trust fund kid named Karl Marx started this stuff, they haven't realized its archaic.

But it isn't necessary.

It's plenty tragic just stating that 5 people are dead.

“We thank the quick reactions of heroic customers that subdued the gunman and ended this hate attack."
Now tack on hate attack and ya got something.

I went to a straight bar last night!

See how fricking stupid and exclusionary that sounds? I bet you think the gay community loves being singled out all the time by white liberals always looking for an excuse to say the word “gay”.

I’ll be thinking back to this exchange the next time the board explodes in outrage that the first news story about some other event does not specifically mentioned the race or ethnicity of the alleged perpetrator.
