Two Club Q patrons managed to disarm the shooter, a 22-year-old suspect with ties to an extremist family, before he was taken into police custody. The attack came on the the eve of Transgender Day of Remembrance, and police are investigating the attack as a potential hate crime.

Herod describes a "clear connection" between hateful anti-gay rhetoric and violence toward the LGBTQ community.
