Police says a gunman opened fire with a semiautomatic rifle at a gay nightclub in Colorado Springs, at least killing five people and injuring 18.
The 22-year- old gunman was subdued by “heroic” patrons and arrested by police within minutes, authorities said Sunday. Two heroic patrons confronted the gunman and stopped the shooting.
According to the police, the gunman used an AR-15-style semiautomatic weapon and additional ammunition magazines also were recovered.
The motive in the shooting wasn`t clear, the incident came as anti-gay rhetoric has intensified by extremists.
