After the Colorado shooting at a gay nightclub, people are interested in the specifics of Anderson Aldrich’s mug shot.
In addition to the five fatalities, Anderson Aldrich is suspected of starting the fire at Club Q in Colorado Springs, causing more than a dozen injuries.
Aldrich, 22, is accused with five charges of first-degree murder and five counts of a felony motivated by bias that ends in bodily damage, according to an online docket in the El Paso County Court.
During the incident, clubgoers subdued the 6’4″, 260-pound suspect, who was then brought to the hospital for treatment of unidentified wounds.
Anderson Aldrich Mug Shot: Who Is The Colorado Shooting Suspect?

In May of 2000, Aldrich was born Nicholas Brink. He was born in 1999 to Laura Voepel and Aaron Brink, his parents. His Father filed for divorce in Orange County, California, in September 2001 on the grounds of irreconcilable differences.
He sought the court to grant Voepel sole physical custody while also granting him legal custody and visitation privileges in his initial petition. Voepel claimed in a 2007 filing that her son had no touch with his father.
Aldrich’s father was a mixed martial arts fighter and a porn actor who served time in federal jail for importing marijuana, according to court documents, interviews, and an entertainment website.
Aldrich’s mother was convicted guilty of public intoxication and filing a false police complaint in 2009, and she was given a three-year probationary period.
The false report conviction was brought about by the 2008 event in Murrieta, California when police were summoned to a suspected home invasion and found Voepel laying on her bed with her wrists and legs bound with duct tape.
What Happened At The LGBTQ Nightclub Shooting?
The initial 911 reports reporting the gunshot were made around 11:56 p.m. local time, according to the Police. Police were summoned at 11:57 p.m., and an officer showed up at Club Q at midnight. According to the police, the suspect was captured around 12:02 in the morning.
The police claim that the shooting lasted only a few minutes since the suspect was brought to justice by club patrons.
Vasquez reported that at least two courageous people attacked the guy and engaged him in combat inside the club, stopping him.
Two guns were reportedly discovered at the site, including a long rifle that Vasquez described as an AR-style weapon in an interview with CNN. The massacre was primarily carried out with a long gun, but the suspect also had a handgun, which he admitted to having to CNN on Monday.
Two law enforcement sources who spoke to CNN said that the handgun and the AR-style rifle were both purchases made by the suspect according to the records. The precise timing of such purchases has not been confirmed by CNN.
The shooter entered the club fully armed and wearing what seemed to be a military-style flak jacket, according to club proprietors who reviewed CCTV footage.
The Times said that Matthew Haynes, one of the club’s proprietors, said the shooter entered with “tremendous firepower.”
Although the suspect is already facing state charges, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Colorado stated in a statement on Monday that multiple federal agencies and offices, including the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division, are aware of the shooting.
The office stated that it would review the material regarding the incident to see whether a federal response is required.
Vasquez told CNN on Monday that one of the people who stopped the shooter had been harmed, but it wasn’t a serious injury. Vasquez said the second person was uninjured.
