COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Matthew Haynes has 20 years of memories at Club Q, the site of the Nov. 19 shooting that left five people dead and dozens more injured in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
As the co-owner of the LGBTQ bar, Haynes says in the aftermath of the shooting, he has been contemplating the bar's significance in the community and its role in helping the community continue to recover from the tragic event -- and rebuilding the bar is part of that goal.
The suspect is facing 305 charges, including first-degree murder, attempted murder and bias-motivated crimes. In recent meetings with city officials, including Colorado Springs mayor John Suthers, Haynes said Suthers has put Club Q staff in touch with an architecture firm to plan a memorial and address the damage done to the inside of the bar during the shooting, pro bono.
"From every aspect, from the police department to the FBI, to anything that's underneath the city and certainly from the state -- a this point, we are feeling fully supported," Haynes said. Since the tragedy, the bar owners and staff have also been tending to an ever-growing memorial outside of Club Q, lush with flowers, cards and artwork.
