Nightclub shooting heroes named
Two men who subdued the shooter who allegedly opened fire in an LGBTQI+ nightclub in the US state of Colorado on Saturday night have been labelled heroes, with officials saying their efforts “saved a lot of lives”. Rich Fierro, a decorated US army veteran, and Thomas James have been named as the men who intervened when the shooting began at Club Q in Colorado Springs… Fierro talks through the details of what went down – and it’s an incredible story and well worth a look. He says he doesn’t think of himself as a hero, saying “I’m just some dude”. Five people – including Fierro’s daughter’s boyfriend – were killed, and 17 were injured in the attack. The suspect has been identified as Anderson Lee Aldrich – he’s currently in hospital and is facing 5 counts of murder, amongst other charges.
