'The legal system failing': Colorado Club Q shooting happened after judge's warning
A judge dismissed a 2021 case against the accused Colorado Springs nightclub shooter despite her concerns about a planned attack in the future, according to newly released court transcripts that have led to scrutiny over whether more could have been done to prevent the violence.
The transcripts shed light on what authorities knew about Aldrich's increasingly violent behavior before the mass shooting.
What happened in the previous case against accused Club Q shooter?
In June 2021, Aldrich was arrested after being accused of making a bomb threat that led to a lengthy armed standoff with SWAT teams, according to court documents.
Their grandparents told police Aldrich held them hostage in their home, told them of bomb-making materials in the basement, and shared plans to be the next mass killer. Aldrich livestreamed the standoff on Facebook, and authorities seized weapons, ammunition and more than 100 pounds of explosive materials.
