A Colorado judge on Thursday ordered the unsealing of the case file in the 2021 bomb threat arrest of the suspect in last month’s deadly shooting at an LGBTQ nightclub.
Ruling in part that the public interest outweighs the defendant’s privacy, Fourth Judicial District Court Judge Robin Chittum unsealed the documents despite the objections of the 22-year-old shooting suspect, Anderson Aldrich, and their mother, Laurel Voepel. Aldrich was formally charged this week with 305 counts, including charges of first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, assault and bias-motivated crimes causing bodily injury.
Deputies called the suspect, and he “refused to comply with orders to surrender,” according to the sheriff’s office. Nearby homes were evacuated. In video obtained by CNN, Aldrich appeared to rant about the police and challenged them to breach the house where he was holed up. “I’ve got the f**king sh*theads outside, look at that, they’ve got a bead on me,” Aldrich said on the video, pointing the camera at a window with blinds covering it.
