The alleged shooter who authorities say killed five people and injured 18 others at a Colorado Springs, Colo. LGBTQ nightclub is nonbinary, according to filings from their defense team.
Public defenders referred to the suspect, 22-year-old Anderson Lee Aldrich, as “Mx. Aldrich” in motions filed on their behalf and stated in footnotes that Aldrich is nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns.
The motions pertain to the unsealing of documents and evidence gathering and did not expand on Aldrich’s gender identity.
Officials have said Aldrich, who has not been formally charged yet, has been preliminarily charged with five counts of murder and five counts of a bias-motivated crime, but these are not final.
