FBI warned

Authorities said the person who would later kill five at a Colorado gay nightclub was on the FBI’S radar a day before being arrested for threatening to kill family members, but agents closed out the case just weeks later. The disclosure by the FBI creates a new timeline for when law enforcement was first alerted to Anderson Lee Aldrich as a potential danger. Previously it was thought Aldrich only became known to authorities after making the threat on June 18, 2021. That day, Aldrich’s grandparents ran from their Colorado Springs home and called 911, saying Aldrich was building a bomb in the basement and had threatened to kill them.
