Rich Fierro, an Army vet that police are crediting with subduing shooter Anderson Lee Aldrich at Club Q in Colorado Springs, Colorado, is speaking out about his “heroic actions.”
Fox News senior correspondent Claudia Cowan provides the latest information on the Colorado gay nightclub shooting on 'Special Report with Bret Baier.'
Rich Fierro and Thomas James are the two people police are hailing for saving lives at Club Q on Saturday night, when Anderson Lee Aldrich, 22, is accused ofthat left five dead and at least 25 wounded. Aldrich, who brought multiple firearms inside the property, including an AR-15-style semiautomatic rifle, according to The Associated Press, is now facing murder and hate crime charges.
Fierro was there with his daughter Kassy, her boyfriend and several other friends to see a drag show and celebrate a birthday. He said it was one of the group’s most enjoyable nights. That suddenly changed when the shots rang out and Kassy’s boyfriend, Raymond Green Vance, was fatally shot. Richard Fierro talks during a news conference outside his home about his efforts to subdue the gunman in Saturday's fatal shooting at Club Q in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
As the shooter was pinned under a barrage of punches from Fierro and kicks to the head from James, he tried to reach for his pistol. Fierro grabbed it and used it as a bludgeon. When a performer who was there for the drag show ran by, Fierro told them to kick the gunman. The performer stuffed a high-heeled shoe in the attacker's face, Fierro said. "I really hope people kind of use this and shake someone's hand, give someone a hug, give them a kiss," he added.
