Mr Berkeley was shot a number of times in the driveway of a house in Harelawn Park after 9pm on Monday. They can’t keep burying their heads in the sand in the hope this problem goes away. It can't be normal in anybody's life, or anybody's area that somebody gets shot that this is absolutely linked to the drug trade. Children are going to wake up in that area and go to school, walking past a crime scene where somebody has been shot dead. “We need to see some urgency from Government on setting a cast iron date for the Citizens Assembly on Drugs? That fact they are more than likely to be is utterly depressing and a cause of great distress to the wider community. Mr Berkeley is understood to have previously been warned of a threat to his life. “It only feeds into a real feeling of Government complacency on crime and the causes of crimes. His injuries are not believed to be life-threatening, gardai said. Mr Berkeley was shot a number of times in the driveway of a house in We should not allow these crimes to end up being yet another shameful statistic.

Suspect in Club Q mass shooting charged with 305 counts ... (CBS News)

The district attorney noted that murder charges would carry the harshest penalty — likely life in prison.

In an earlier court appearance just a few days after the shooting, the defendant was slumped over — head and face covered with bruises — and had to be prompted by attorneys to respond to questions from a judge. But charges were dropped, the record is sealed and prosecutors say they can't legally talk about what happened. However, he said a recent change in Colorado law allows offenders to be charged with hate crimes even if they are only partially motivated by bias. The counts against [Anderson Lee Aldrich](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/colorado-springs-mass-shooting-suspect-anderson-lee-aldrich-changed-name-teenager-records/) include 48 hate crime charges, one for each person known to have been in the club at the time of the shooting. They have not entered a plea or spoken about the events. Of the 48 hate crime charges, 27 counts involve injuries and 21 involve people fearing injury or property damage.

FBI asking about videos and racist website in connection with ... (NBC News)

A former neighbor of Anderson Aldrich, the alleged suspect in the Club Q LGBTQ bar shooting in Colorado Springs, talked about two websites with the FBI.

Kraus said that he has felt a “tremendous amount of guilt” since the Club Q shooting. A livestream of the shooting was posted to 8chan, eventually leading to the site’s ban in New Zealand and rebranding to 8kun. When asked about the “professional seven sins” remark, Kraus said that he and Aldrich were both familiar with an online community called Se7en Sins Gaming Community, but Kraus didn’t know the meaning of the remark. Investigators said the shooter tried and failed to set up a livestream of the shooting. The FBI also asked Kraus about the “brother site” that included the video links and whether he knew anything about it or what was on it, he said. In one of the vehicle videos, the person recording says, “Shoutout to professional seven sins,” and the car dashboard clock reads 10:06. Kraus said the agents asked whether Aldrich posted the “Wrong Targets” video on the homepage. Aldrich was [ subdued by three](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/man-helped-stop-colorado-lgbtq-club-shooting-says-family-rcna58890) [club patrons](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/wife-colorado-veteran-tackled-gunman-lgbtq-club-describes-harrowing-mo-rcna58248) shortly after the shooting began and was then arrested by authorities.

Kraus said that most of the posts currently on the site, including the racist content, were not there when he visited it with Aldrich. Kraus said Aldrich described the site as “a platform where people could go and post pretty much whatever they want.” Attorney’s Office for the District of Colorado are aware of the situation regarding the shooting in Colorado Springs at Club Q, and we will review all available facts of the incident to determine what federal response is warranted.” The Colorado Springs police department didn’t return a request for comment.

Colorado suspect charged with 305 counts over deadly gay club ... (The Guardian)

Anderson Aldrich, 22, accused of entering gay nightclub in Colorado Springs and killing five people with AR-15-style rifle.

But bringing a hate crime case to conviction can be difficult, because prosecutors must prove what motivated the defendant, a higher standard than usually required in court. There are no public indications that the case led to a conviction. Allen did not detail the charges in Tuesday’s hearing but said they included “many counts of bias-motivated crimes”. Anderson Lee Aldrich, 22, sat upright in a chair during the hearing and appeared alert. Investigators said Aldrich entered Club Q, a sanctuary for the LGBTQ community in the mostly conservative city of Colorado Springs, just before midnight on 19 November and began shooting during a drag queen’s birthday celebration. He declined at a later news conference to discuss what evidence prosecutors found to back the hate crimes charges.
