Colorado Springs has had a disturbing number of mass shootings.
skips shootings related to gangs, drugs or organized crime, but requires just three fatal or non-fatal injuries aside from the shooter.
But those who get hung up on these distinctions are at risk of missing the larger point about the frequency of multi-victim shootings — one underscored by an August 2019, which took a combined 31 lives. According to the Gun Violence Archive, Colorado had suffered 24 mass shootings between the site's 2013 launch and the summer of 2019. That worked out to four a year.
Colorado Springs has had more than its share of mass shootings by the Gun Violence Archive standard. The most deadly took place in May 2021, when a man who hadn't been invited to a family gathering murdered six attendees before taking his own life. But even before this weekend's tragedy, five people were killed and twelve injured during mass shootings in Colorado Springs in 2022. Among these events was a shooting at a bar just down the road from Club Q in which four people were hurt.
These other shootings received little to no national media coverage, and the amount of attention paid locally was often modest — an indication of how commonplace gun violence has become in Colorado Springs and beyond. Here's a chronological list of mass shootings that occured in Colorado Springs from the the Planned Parenthood through the Club Q attacks, with basic information and links to additional details.
