Daniel Aston, 28, has been identified as one of the five victims killed in the Club Q nightclub mass shooting in Colorado Springs, Colorado, over the weekend.
Correspondent Claudia Cowan reports the latest on the mass shooting at Club Q in Colorado Springs.
Sabrina Aston said her son’s eagerness to make people laugh and cheer started as a child in Tulsa, Oklahoma, when he would don elaborate costumes such as the beast from"Beauty and the Beast." He would also cycle through weird hats and write plays acted out by neighborhood kids, she said. Two years ago, Aston moved from Tulsa to Colorado Springs -- where his parents had settled -- and started at Club Q as a bartender and entertainer. His parents would join in the cheers at his shows.
She first heard about the attack and that her son had been shot at 2 a.m. on Sunday when the phone rang. It was one of her son's friends breaking the news that a shooting had occurred at Club Q and that their son was in Memorial Hospital.
