2022 Colorado Club Q shooter, Anderson Lee Aldrich, pleads guilty to federal hate crime charges, avoiding the death penalty and facing multiple life sentences and 190 years in prison.

Colorado shooter Anderson Lee Aldrich, who killed five people and injured 19 others at an LGBTQ nightclub in 2022, is set to plead guilty to federal hate crime charges and avoid the death penalty. Aldrich's plea deal would instead result in multiple life sentences and an additional 190 years in prison. The shooter has already been sentenced to life in prison for state charges, and federal prosecutors are focusing on proving that the attack at Club Q was premeditated and fueled by anti-gay bias.
