Victim of Colorado club shooting recounts ordeal
One of the injured victims of the Colorado nightclub shooting that left five people dead spoke out Monday about the attack. Ed Sanders said he was shot in the back and the leg as he was at the bar starting a tab. "Went and got in line for the bar and when I got to the front I gave my credit card and they were going to open a tab and the shooting started right then. And I got hit in the back and I turned around to look at him and he kept shooting. He did two volleys of, I guess, 10, 15 shots each," Sanders said. "Yeah I'm smiling now because I am happy to be alive. I dodged a major event in my life and came through it, and that's part of who I am as a survivor," Sanders added. The suspect, Anderson Lee Aldrich, remained hospitalized Tuesday. He was tackled and beaten by bar patrons during the attack that left 17 other people with gunshot wounds. Aldrich faces five murder charges and five charges of committing a bias-motivated crime causing bodily injury, online court records showed.

The charges come after Anderson Aldrich pleaded guilty last June in state court to five counts of murder and 46 counts of attempted murder — one for each person at Club Q during the 2022 attack.
