DailyMail.com can reveal the first photograph of Colorado gay club shooter Anderson Lee Aldrich along with video he filmed of himself threatening to blow his mother's house to 'holy hell' a year ago.
Aldrich, 22, was taken into custody at the house where his mother, Laura Voepel, was renting a room in June 2021 in Colorado Springs. He was charged with felony menacing and kidnapping but was released from custody.
On Saturday, he is accused of opening fire in Club Q just before midnight, murdering five people and injuring others. The club's owners say he arrived with 'tremendous firepower' - an AR-15 rifle, six magazines of ammo and a handgun. Patrons used the handgun he was carrying to beat him to the ground until police arrived. The sheriff's department has not yet released his mugshot.
On Monday, he was charged with five counts of murder and five counts of committing a hate crime.
The incident last year involved Aldrich fleeing to the home where his mother was renting a room. He had been living nearby with his grandma, Pam Pullen, and her husband Jonathan, but went on the run after threatening to kill them.
His mother Laura is shown on Ring camera footage from that day welcoming her into the house, helping him with his suitcase. Once inside, he filmed himself in SWAT gear, broadcasting live on his mother's Facebook account.

One of the victims was named Derrick Rump?! Seriously?
The one that was going through basic training with the joker.
The one that eventually blew a gasket and shot the gunny in the bathroom.
Yeah, there were alot of weird characters in that movie. It wasn’t your WW2 era war pix for sure.
Makes sense.
He's a damned Rambo, I'm telling you!
Yes but his 47th cousin, 7 times removed once looked at Donald Trump’s website! So this guy must be MAGA!!!
Nah. They are out looking for anti abortion protesters
“Arrested him at his mom’s house”. Another stupid angry spoiled little POS. He’ll love what the hardcore criminals have waiting for him.
Well, this will go wide. Got a white killer and homosexual victims.
Change either of those and it’s ho-hum.
He is a Nut case. He has no business owning weapons.
BUT be careful for what you wish. The police in States like Leftist Colorado look for any excuse to disarm the public. And once they gain authority, it is never relinquished.
The right to keep and bear arms is one of the MOST important gifts our founders enshrined into the Constitution. Never be involved in weakening that right.

It seems in this case, all the leftists laws passed here in Colorado for gun control were of no avail since this perp wasn’t wearing a MAGA hat around town.
Perp was subdued by a straight guy, army veteran, who was there with his wife for a friend’s birthday celebration.
Colorado Springs is a largely conservative city for Colorado. Many retired Air Force Officers and families.
Now Denver and Longmont are lefti city.
