Following reports of a shooting at Club Q in Colorado Springs, Colorado U.S. Senator Michael Bennet released the following statement.

“I’m devastated to hear about the shooting in Colorado Springs that cut five more lives tragically short. I’m thinking of their families and loved ones, and sending strength to those who were injured, the survivors, and Colorado’s LGBTQ community.
