The shooter who killed five people and injured 19 more at a Colorado Springs nightclub in 2022 was sentenced to 55 life sentences and another 190-year sentence without the possibility of parole.

Anderson Lee Aldrich pleaded guilty to 74 federal hate crime and gun charges on Tuesday as part of a plea deal that allowed him to avoid the death penalty. The 24-year-old is already serving five life sentences for state murder charges he pleaded guilty to last June, but he pleaded no contest last year to state hate crime charges.
