While sipping beers at Club Q, a series of bangs startled Gil Rodriguez. He flipped a table, yelled “Get down” and listened as the bangs got closer. He got on top of his girlfriend, who prayed to herself as she heard screams muffled by the dance music.
Flowers, candles and mementos are left in front of Q Club at the impromptu memorial to victims of the mass shooting in Colorado Springs, Colo. on Monday, Nov. 21, 2022.
“By the time I turned around, the bullets were flying around my head, breaking the glass around me,” Loveall, 30, a father of three, said. “Something brought me to the ground.” Felicia Juvera, 34, said she and her boyfriend, Gil Rodriguez, 32, were sipping beers, supporting their friend who was the DJ that night, when a series of bangs startled them. Rodriguez flipped a table, yelled “Get down” and listened as the bangs got closer.
Authorities on Sunday confirmed five people dead, with more than two dozen wounded. The suspect, Anderson Lee Aldrich, 22, was in custody as police investigated his motive, they said.
