Mother of Club Q shooter files lawsuit against Colorado Springs Police Officers

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KKTV) – On Monday, A 21-page lawsuit was filed against five Colorado Springs Police Officers by the Club Q shooter’s mother, according to Kosloski Law, PLLC.

Kosloski Law said Laura Voepel, mother of Anderson Aldrich, filed the lawsuit on Monday seeking justice for the alleged “unlawful search, unconstitutional seizure, and excessive force inflicted upon Ms. Voepel by officers of the Colorado Springs Police Department during their response to the Club Q shooting.”

Five people were killed and almost two dozen people were injured after Aldrich opened fire in Colorado Springs nightclub Club Q in 2022.

The lawsuit claimed Voepel was in her home when Colorado Springs Police Officers unlawfully entered without a search warrant. Kosloski Law said the lawsuit also alleged the officers locked Voepel outside of her home in freezing conditions while they searched. It said she was reportedly barefoot and on oxygen at the time.
