Victims and family members of those killed in the 2022 mass shooting at the LGBTQIA+ Club Q in Colorado Springs have sued the El Paso County Board of Commissioners and others, alleging authorities could have prevented the shooting if they had enforced the state’s “red flag law” against the gunman.

Many survivors from the Club Q mass shooting say they're still recovering from what happened, and one of them and some family members of the victims are taking legal action.

Victims who survived and mothers of those killed in the mass shooting at an LGBTQ+ nightclub in Colorado Springs, Colo., in 2022 have filed lawsuits alleging that the murders could have been prevented if the local sheriff's office had used the state's red flag law to seize the killer's guns after clear warning signs appeared that he intended to commit violence.
