DENVER (KDVR) — Survivors and families of the victims of the mass shooting at Club Q in Colorado Springs have filed lawsuits against the El Paso County Board of Commissioners, the former sheriff Bill Elder, and the club itself, nearly two years to the day since the deadly shooting occurred. One lawsuit alleges that law enforcement could have prevented the shooting, where five people were killed and 25 others injured, if law enforcement previously enacted Colorado's red flag law. Officially called "Extreme Risk Protection Orders," the law allows people to petition a court to remove firearms from a person found to be at risk of harming themselves or others. Club Q plans to reopen after tragedy, but some say they will not attend The other lawsuit, filed on behalf of Club Q victim Barrett Hudson, who said he was shot seven times that night, alleges that Club Q's owner, Matthew Haynes, did not have proper security at the club when the gunman opened fire inside. That suit says that in 2022 there was an increased awareness of the need for security at LGBTQIA+ nightclubs, following a mass shooting at Pulse Nightclub in Florida. The suit alleges that Haynes reduced the security team in 2022 from five security guards, including one who was armed, to just one, who was not armed. "Haynes’ negligence in providing adequate security measures created a dangerous environment for Club Q patrons," Hudson's lawsuit alleges. "Despite foreseeable risks, Haynes failed to implement effective security protocols, which ultimately led to the tragic loss of life and numerous injuries." Both lawsuits allege that the shooter had a history of violent threats and "behavior that clearly warranted intervention." The lawsuit filed on behalf of victims killed in the mass shooting alleges that law enforcement's inaction and failure to use Colorado's red flag law to limit the shooter's access to weapons "enabled" the attack on Club Q. The other lawsuit was filed on behalf of three Club Q patrons who were killed that night during the attack, alongside several other involved individuals, against the El Paso County Board of County Commissioners, the sheriff, Club Q, Matthew Haynes, and other stakeholders. Club Q management provided a statement on the lawsuits to FOX31's Nexstar partner station in Colorado Springs. The statement reads: The tragic events of Club Q remain a devastating chapter in our lives and in the lives of our community. The pain of this tragedy is something we all carry with us every single day. The accusations against Club Q and myself are false and completely inaccurate and will be rigorously defended. The blame for this tragedy does not lie with those who were impacted but with Anderson Aldrich, the shooter and a system that enables easy access to weapons of war. Out of respect for the legal process and all those affected, we will address these matters in the appropriate venue. Our thoughts remain with the victims, their families, and everyone impacted by this senseless act of violence. Club Q management The shooter, Anderson Aldrich, pleaded guilty in June this year to federal charges and was sentenced to 55 concurrent life sentences without parole, in addition to a 190-year consecutive sentence.
