Club Q mass shooter Anderson Lee Aldrich was on Monday called a “monster” who “doesn’t deserve to go on” while being sentenced to life in prison for the Colorado Springs bloodbath.

The 23-year-old steroid-abusing shooter — who is nonbinary and uses them/ they pronouns — got life after pleading guilty to five counts of murder and 46 of attempted murder for the November massacre.

Aldrich declined to address El Paso County Court prior to sentencing — but could be seen visibly shaking as victims’ loved ones angrily addressed their pain and anger.

“This thing sitting in this courtroom is not a human, it is a monster,” said Jessica Fierro, whose daughter’s 22-year-old boyfriend, Raymond Green Vance, was the youngest of the five killed.

“The devil awaits with open arms.”

Fierro’s husband, Richard — a war veteran who helped tackle Aldrich, ending the carnage — said that their “whole world changed” when Aldrich shot up the club with an AR-15-style semiautomatic.

“His decision to murder, maim and destroy is one that is unforgivable to me.”

His daughter Kassandra also told the court that she will now “never get the chance to marry the love of my life.”

Vance’s mother, Adriana Vance, said her son was “killed in a horrific manner in what amounted to less than five minutes.”

“This man doesn’t deserve to go on,” she said, without using her son’s killer’s preferred pronouns, according to The Gazette.

“What matters now is that he never sees a sunrise, or a sunset,” Vance told the court.

Aldrich — who has admitted in interviews to abusing steroids and a “very large plethora of drugs” — pleaded guilty after saying they wanted to spare survivors and victims’ families the added pain of a trial.

The shooter — the son of a former MMA star who’s starred in porn — also pleaded no contest to two counts of bias-motivated crime.

“You are targeting a group of people for their simple existence,” Judge Michael McHenry told the mass killer.

“Like too many other people in our culture, you chose to find a power that day behind the trigger of a gun, your actions reflect the deepest malice of the human heart, and malice is almost always born of ignorance and fear,” the judge continued.

People in the courtroom wiped away tears as the judge read out the names of the five murdered: Kelly Loving, 40, Daniel Aston, 28, Derrick Rump, 38, Ashley Paugh, 34, and Vance

Aston’s dad, Jeff Aston, described his son — a Club Q barman — as being “happy” and in the “prime of his life” when he was gunned down.

“He was huge light in this world that was snuffed out by a heinous, evil and cowardly act,” Jeff Aston said. 

“I will never again hear him laugh at my dad jokes … His mom and I will never be the same.”

Aston’s partner, Wyatt Kent, called Aldrich “a symbol of a broken system, of hate and vitriol pushed against us as a community.”

“What brings joy to me is that this hurt individual will never be able to see the joy and the light that has been wrought into our community as an outcome,” Kent said.

Kurt Paugh said his wife Ashley “was a loving woman, taken by one senseless act of hate.”

“With one cowardly act my wife, my best friend, the mother of my child is gone,” said the still-grieving husband.

“His punishment should be painful and match the pain he caused my wife, and many others.”

The Justice Department is still considering federal hate crime charges, sources have said — which could leave Aldrich potentially still facing the death penalty.

Before the plea deal, Aldrich had been charged with 323 criminal counts for the slaughter carried out with an AR-15-style semiautomatic rifle when the shooter was just 22. 

The mass shooting came over a year after Aldrich had been arrested for threatening their grandparents and vowing to become “the next mass killer.” 

Aldrich had been arrested after a standoff with SWAT officers that was livestreamed on Facebook — telling officers, “If they breach, I’m a f—-ing blow it to holy hell!” 

Aldrich eventually surrendered. However, the charges were thrown out in July 2022 after Aldrich’s mother and grandparents, the victims in the case, refused to cooperate with prosecutors.

Investigators later revealed that the two guns Aldrich had during the Club Q attack — the rifle and a handgun — appeared to be ghost guns, or firearms without serial numbers that are homemade and do not require an owner to pass a background check

Monday’s plea followed a series of jailhouse phone calls in which Aldrich expressed the need “to take responsibility for what happened.” 

“Nothing’s ever going to bring back their loved ones. People are going to have to live with injury that can’t be repaired,” said Aldrich, who admitted to abusing steroids and being on a “very large plethora of drugs.”

However, when asked whether the attack was motivated by hate, Aldrich refused to address it directly, only saying that was “completely off base.”
