Bidens call owners of Club Q, site of Colorado mass shooting

President Biden and first lady Jill Biden called the owners of Club Q, the LGBTQ nightclub in Colorado Springs where a gunman opened fire on Saturday night, to express their condolences in the wake of the tragedy.

The Bidens offered their support to Nic Grzecka and Matthew Haynes as well as the LGBTQ community, according to the White House, after five people died and 25 others were injured in the alleged hate attack.

Grzecka and Haynes, who have called the shooting a “senseless attack on our community” and a hate crime, are both co-owners of the nightclub in Colorado, which opened more than 20 years ago.

Club Q, which is closed until further notice, is a popular spot and considered a safe space for the LGBTQ community in the Colorado Springs area.
