“No matter who you are, where you live, who you love, Colorado is a place for you,' Colorado Gov. Jared Polis said outside ClubQ today, adding, “it will be a healing process to be able to show resilience from this horrific tragedy.”
“Club Q will be back, and the community will be back," he said in front of the club."People will feel safe and will learn from this. The perpetrator, of course, will be held fully accountable under the laws of Colorado for the heinous acts committed.”
