A Colorado judge on Thursday ordered the suspect accused of fatally shooting five people and injuring dozens of others at an LGBTQ nightclub last year to stand trial on 323 counts stemming from the massacre, including murder and hate-crime charges.
Handcuffed and clad in orange jail garb, Aldrich, 22, did not speak during Thursday's 50-minute hearing. The defendant is due to enter a plea on May 30.
Aldrich often used homophobic slurs, prosecutors said, and once posted a photo on social media of a rifle scope aimed at a gay rights parade. Hours after the shooting, a sobbing Aldrich told a deputy sheriff: “I really fucked up ... I killed all those fucking people,” a statement reflecting remorse, even if it also could be taken as an admission of guilt, Archambault said.
