Victims’ families have called the Colorado Springs nightclub killer a “monster” who hunted down LGBT+ patrons in a calculated attack last year that killed five people, as the attacker was sentenced to life in prison after pleading guilty to murder and other charges.

Anderson Lee Aldrich admitted five counts of murder and 46 counts of attempted murder. Aldrich also pleaded no contest to two hate crimes, one a felony and the other a misdemeanour.
