Public Defenders Say Club Q Shooter Is Nonbinary

NewsNation reports:

The person who is accused of killing five people during a shooting at an LGBTQ nightclub in Colorado is nonbinary, according to court records.

Joseph Archambault and Michael Bowman, the public defenders for Anderson Lee Aldrich, 22, included the information about the suspect’s identity in the footnotes of a motion filed Tuesday. Aldrich is facing murder and hate crime charges.

“Anderson Aldrich is non-binary. They use they/them pronouns, and for the purposes of all formal filings, will be addressed as Mx. Aldrich,” the attorneys wrote. The footnote was included in a document notifying the court of Aldrich’s legal representation.

All indications from people who knew the shooter were that he was violent and homophobic. The identification as nonbinary is almost certainly a troll.
