COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Reuters) -A gunman opened fire inside an LGBTQ nightspot in Colorado Springs late on Saturday, killing at least five people and injuring 25 others before being stopped by "heroic" clubgoers, police said.

Authorities on Sunday said they were investigating whether the attack was motivated by hate.
