Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>A gunman opened fire inside a gay club in the US state of Colorado on Saturday night, killing five people and injuring 18.<\/p>\n

A suspect was in custody and being treated for injuries, police said.<\/p>\n

Club Q, in Colorado Springs, released a statement on Facebook saying it was “devastated by the senseless attack on our community”, and thanking customers who “subdued” the gunman.<\/p>\n

In 2016, 49 people were killed in a shooting at a gay club in Florida.<\/p>\n

Colorado Springs police said they received an initial emergency call about an active shooter at 23:57 (06:57 GMT) on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The suspect was found inside the club when police entered.<\/p>\n

Police did not immediately suggest a motive for the shooting and said the number of dead and injured could change as the investigation continues.<\/p>\n

A fire department spokesman said casualties had been transported to hospitals very quickly, due to training for events such as this.<\/p>\n

A statement on the Club Q Facebook page thanked “the quick reactions of heroic customers that subdued the gunman and ended this hate attack”.<\/p>\n

The club was hosting a dance party at the time, and had planned to hold a performance event on Sunday evening to celebrate Transgender Day of Remembrance.<\/p>\n

The club’s Facebook page has been inundated with comments and condolences from around the world after the attack.<\/p>\n

The office of Colorado Springs mayor John Suthers called the event a tragedy, and said the mayor will speak at a police press conference on Sunday.<\/p>\n

In 2016, 49 people were killed and more than 50 injured in a shooting at the Pulse gay club in Orlando, Florida. At the time it was the deadliest mass shooting in US history.<\/p>\n

President Obama called the Florida attack “an act of terror and an act of hate”.<\/p>\n
