Club Q is a gay nightclub that entertain and host members of the LGBTQ family in Colorado. The management of the nightclub in released a statement on Facebook describing the incident as devastating and unreasonable.

In its Google listing, Club Q describes itself as an “adult-oriented gay and lesbian nightclub hosting theme nights such as karaoke, drag shows & DJs”.

In recent years, there has been an attack and hate on the LGBTQ family leading to several killings. For instance, about 50 members of the LGBTQ community were killed, while 53 injured in 2016 in a gay nightclub Florida, United States.

President Joe Biden said on Sunday that Americans “cannot and must not tolerate hate”.
“Places that are supposed to be safe spaces of acceptance and celebration should never be turned into places of terror and violence. Yet it happens far too often. We must drive out the inequities that contribute to violence against LGBTQI+ people,” he said in a statement from the White House.Source

As at when this report came forth the police haven't given a statement regarding to the reason behind the shooting in the gay nightclub in Colorado Springs. Meanwhile, the suspect is receiving treatment.
