Feb. 24—When asked Thursday about the potential of Anderson Aldrich entering an insanity plea, District Attorney Michael Allen told reporters it's a possibility, but "too early to determine if that will happen or not."

Aldrich is accused of killing five people and wounding more than a dozen in the Nov. 19 shooting at Club Q, a popular LGBTQ+ nightclub in Colorado Springs.

Aldrich's preliminary hearing came to a close on Thursday morning when Judge Michael McHenry ruled that all 323 charges against Aldrich be bound over. Allen's remarks came during a news conference following the court hearing.
