, was described by Suthers as having “all the trappings of a hate crime,” though he added that an official motive is “still under investigation.”
“We need to look at social media, we need to look at all kinds of other information that we’re gathering from people that knew the individual before we make any definitive conclusions about a motivation,” Suthers shared onDuring a press conference on Sunday, Colorado Springs police spokeswoman Lt. Pamela Castro recounted the night’s events, explaining that the suspect entered the nightclub and began shooting as he moved further inside. Police received calls about an active shooting at 11:57 p.m.
“It’s an incredible act of heroism, and this is taking place very quickly,” Suther added. “The police get a dispatch at 11:57, they arrive at 12, and by 12:02, the individual – the perpetrator – is subdued. And that’s largely because two, but primarily one, as I understand it, were able to take a handgun that he’s got in his possession, take it away from him, and use that weapon – not by shooting it, but by hitting him and disabling him.
