Club Q shooter to be sentenced in federal case Tuesday
Anderson Aldrich, the convicted killer in the Club Q mass shooting, is set to enter a guilty plea and accept a prison sentence on Tuesday in federal court.
On June 26, 2023, Aldrich pleaded guilty to 51 charges at the state level for killing five people and injuring nearly two dozen more at the Colorado Springs LGBTQ+ nightclub Club Q in November 2022.
Aldrich was given five sentences of life in prison — one for each count of first-degree murder — and an additional 2,208 years in prison for each count of attempted first-degree murder.
Earlier this year, 74 federal charges were filed against Aldrich by the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Colorado. The federal charges include 50 hate crime charges and 24 firearms charges.
The criminal information sheet filed Jan. 5 detailed that Aldrich’s attorney had already accepted a plea deal that will keep Aldrich from receiving the death penalty.
Aldrich is set to officially enter the guilty pleas and accept “multiple concurrent life sentences” and an additional 190 years in prison at a 9 a.m. Tuesday hearing in federal court in Denver.
Aldrich is currently residing in the Wyoming State Penitentiary, according to previous reporting from The Gazette.
Daniel Aston, Kelly Loving, Ashley Paugh, Derrick Rump and Raymond Green Vance died in the shooting.
