We further thank those who brave patrons who subdued the gunman, preventing him from taking the lives of more people. If it weren’t for the courageous actions of those same club goers, more people from our community would have perished.
Thankfully, the shooter was quickly restrained and a few minutes later, apprehended by the police. And, it doesn’t go unnoticed that this mass shooting happened on Transgender Day of Remembrance, TDOR, when we already continue to mourn the transgender lives lost to senseless acts of violence every year.
And, it made us remember Pulse Orlando. How can we forget?Club Q, via a FB statement, said it was “devastated by the senseless attack on our community. … We thank the quick reactions of heroic customers that subdued the gunman and ended this hate attack.”Words are a conduit.
