据警方称，周六晚上，22岁的嫌疑人安德森·李·奥尔德里奇(Anderson Lee Aldrich)据称一走进科罗拉多斯普林斯市的Q俱乐部就开枪射击，造成5人死亡，17人受伤。奥尔德里奇面临五项谋杀罪和五项造成身体伤害的偏见动机犯罪，这是科罗拉多州的仇恨犯罪法。

警方说，菲耶罗和另一个人托马斯·詹姆斯——两人都被当局描述为英雄——与奥尔德里奇对峙并与其搏斗，最终挽救了更多的生命。
菲耶罗告诉记者，当晚他和家人在Q俱乐部观看他女儿的初中毕业舞会舞伴的变装表演。
他说，他从嫌疑人手中夺过手枪，开始对他“嚎啕大哭”并殴打他，同时告诉一名旁观者把嫌疑人一直使用的枪拿走。据了解调查情况的官员称，嫌疑人使用了合法购买的突击式步枪
“我告诉他我要杀了他，”菲耶罗说。他让一名变装演员踢嫌疑人，他说，并补充说她用高跟鞋踩嫌疑人的脸。
“我试图干掉他，”菲耶罗说。
根据科罗拉多斯普林斯警察局和市长办公室的说法，嫌疑人被打得非常严重，截至周一晚上，他仍在医院接受治疗。
虽然菲耶罗可能会拒绝英雄的标签，但其他人却称赞他的“英雄行为”。
科罗拉多斯普林斯市市长约翰·瑟斯周一告诉美国广播公司新闻直播节目的林西·戴维斯说:“理查德实际上能够从嫌疑人的腰间取出一把手枪，并用它击中他，使他无法动弹和瘫痪。”“在这样做的时候，我绝对有信心，我认为大多数熟悉这一事件的人都相信他拯救了无数生命。”
菲耶罗说，他的女儿在事故中受伤，正在养伤，同时为万斯哀悼。
陆军发言人Pablo Saez中士告诉ABC新闻，Fierro在美国陆军服役14年，曾三次在伊拉克服役，一次在阿富汗服役。
菲耶罗说，他离开军队是因为他“身体垮了”，但他的军队训练是在枪击开始时开始的。
“我进入了状态，我需要拯救我的家庭，”他说。“这是反射。去战斗吧。停止行动。停止活动。不要让任何人受到伤害。”
Colorado club shooting: 'Hero' Army veteran who stopped suspected gunman says he feels 'no joy'
A U.S. Army veteran who stopped a suspected gunman from fatally shooting more people after heallegedly killed five people at an LGBTQ nightclubin Colorado says he isn't a hero, and he'smourning the peoplewho died, including his daughter's boyfriend.
"There are five people I could not help, one of which was family to me," Richard Fierro said during a press conference outside his home Monday night.
"I feel no joy. That guy is still alive... and my family is not," he said, referring to his daughter's boyfriend, Raymond Green Vance, who was among thosekilled in the shooting.
Five people were killed and 17 others were injured from gunshot wounds after a suspect, Anderson Lee Aldrich, 22, allegedly began shooting as soon as he walked into Club Q in Colorado Springs on Saturday night, according to police. Aldrich is facing five counts of murder and five counts of bias-motivated crime causing bodily injury, which is Colorado's hate crime law.

Fierro and another person, Thomas James -- both of whom authorities have described as heroes -- confronted Aldrich and fought with him, ultimately saving more lives, police said.
Fierro told reporters that he and his family were at Club Q to watch his daughter's junior prom date perform in the drag show that night.
He said he grabbed the suspect's pistol from him and began "wailing" on him and beating him while telling a bystander to get the gun the suspect had been using away. The suspect used a legally purchased assault-style rifle, according to officials briefed on the investigation
"I told him I was going to kill him," Fierro said. He asked a drag performer to kick the suspect, he said, adding that she stomped the suspect's face with her high heel.
"I tried to finish him," Fierro said.
According to the Colorado Springs Police Department and the mayor's office, the suspect was beaten so severely that he remains hospitalized as of Monday night.
While Fierro may reject the hero label, others have praised his "heroic actions."
"Richard actually was able to take a handgun from the waist of the suspect and use that to hit him and immobilize him and disable him," Colorado Springs Mayor John Suthers told ABC News Live Prime's Linsey Davis on Monday. "And in doing that, I am absolutely confident, and I think most people so familiar with this incident are confident that he saved numerous lives."
Fierro said his daughter was injured in the incident and is recovering from her injuries while grieving for Vance.
Fierro was in the U.S. Army for 14 years and served in Iraq three times and Afghanistan once, Army spokesperson Sgt. Pablo Saez told ABC News.
Fierro said he left the military because he was "physically broken," but that his Army training kicked in when the shooting began.
"I got into [a] mode and I needed to save my family," he said. "It's the reflex. Go to the fight. Stop the action. Stop the activity. Don't let no one get hurt."
