“When police took him into custody,” Mayor John Suthers said Monday morning, “there was an individual laying on top of him and had totally disabled him from perpetrating any further harm.”
A patron at Club Q disarmed and hit a gunman with his own weapon shortly after shots erupted inside the nightclub late Saturday night, stopping the mass shooting and preventing further bloodshed, the mayor of Colorado Springs said.
Suthers identified the two patrons as Richard Fierro and Thomas James. Fierro, an Army veteran, told The New York Times that he charged the suspect — identified by police as Police received their first call about the shooting at just before 11:57 p.m. Saturday. The first officer arrived at midnight, and Aldrich was in custody two minutes later, Suthers said. In those brief moments between when he entered the club and was charged by patrons, Aldrich is accused of killing five people. Eighteen others were injured.
Colorado Springs police Chief Adrian Vasquez called Suthers shortly after 1 a.m. Sunday, the mayor said. At that point, first responders already had cleared the building of victims, according to archived police radio traffic.“Based on my life as a prosecutor and mayor, but primarily as a prosecutor, calls in the middle of the night are never good,” Suthers said. “Every once in a while maybe a baby’s born or something like that, but typically, they’re never good.
