Ed Sanders, 63, was shot twice during a mass shooting at Club Q, a Colorado nightclub that serves the LGBTQ+ community. He was taken to UCHealth Memorial Hospital Central, where he’s recovering. Photo by Sonya Doctorian for UCHealth.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Gussied up in a red crushed velvet jacket, Ed Sanders arrived at Club Q<\/a> a little before midnight on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Sanders and a friend had enjoyed a magical night at a Denver ball, but he wasn\u2019t ready for the festivities to end. He wanted to stop by Club Q, where he spends multiple nights a week.<\/p>\n

On Wednesdays, it\u2019s Bingo night. Thursdays, karaoke.\u00a0 There are drag shows on Friday through Sunday. Sanders knows everyone there.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s my family, basically,\u2019\u2019 said Sanders, 63.<\/p>\n

He got in line at the bar, waited his turn and handed over his credit card. He noticed a woman standing next to him at the bar and ordered his usual: rum and coke. He never got his drink.<\/p>\n

Moments later, shots rang out. A bullet struck him in his upper back, near his right shoulder. It broke one of his ribs. A little while later, he learned it has missed his major organs.<\/p>\n

\u201cI turned around and saw him (the gunman), and it was very fast. There were two volleys of bullets. The second volley took my leg, and I fell,\u2019\u2019 he said. \u201cEverybody fell, pretty much.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

The woman who had been standing next to him fell too. He remembered trying not to roll on her, not to crush her.<\/p>\n

When the shooting stopped, people were screaming, shouting for tourniquets. Patrons started to care for each other. That\u2019s what family does.<\/p>\n

\u201cSeveral people asked about me, and I said that I was hit, and it didn\u2019t seem that bad. The shot to my back didn\u2019t feel like what it left, which is a big, scooped-out wound.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

With his back to the door, he didn\u2019t see what happened next.<\/p>\n

He later heard that Army veteran Richard Fierro sprang into action and tackled the gunman, then pinned him down until police arrived.<\/a> Fierro had been enjoying a fun night out with his wife, daughter and her boyfriend, whom police identified as one of five people who died in the mass attack. His name is Raymond Green Vance. The others who died are Daniel Aston, Kelly Loving, Ashley Paugh and Derrick Rump.<\/p>\n

Recovering from gunshot wounds<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Minutes after shots rang out, police and other first responders arrived. They transported Sanders and other injured patrons to UCHealth Memorial Hospital Central<\/a>, a Level I Trauma Center only 12 minutes away from Club Q.<\/p>\n

As Sanders lay in his hospital bed recovering on Monday, he reflected on the jarring thought that he had been in a mass shooting.<\/p>\n

In a way, he expected to be a victim of violence someday.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has happened so many times in other places,\u2019\u2019 he said. \u201cWe get some rhetoric out here from hate groups \u2026 different groups that come out against us,\u201d said Sanders who has been part of the LGBTQ community in Colorado Springs for 31 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cI half-way expected something to happen. I always wondered what I would do. But I did what I did. It was a lot of regular customers, and it was family helping family basically. We took care of each other.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Sanders said he is thankful for the police, the paramedics and the doctors and nurses at Memorial who helped him.<\/p>\n

Sanders is part of a nonprofit organization that raises money for charities, Inside\/Out, a cat rescue and ovarian cancer, to name a few. It\u2019s called The United Court of the Pikes Peak Empire<\/a> and Sanders recently earned a special title: \u201cPrince Royal.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of his nurses made a bracelet for him. It has his \u201cPrince Royal\u201d title on it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m doing ok, considering I lost friends,\u2019\u2019 Sanders said. \u201cAnd I don\u2019t think it has really sunk in because I am trying to keep a positive attitude about my own self.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Two days after the shooting, it\u2019s still very much a shock.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I talk about it, I\u2019m getting a little emotional. But I\u2019m trying to put that off for another time because right now, I just need to focus on getting better,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

Helping those around him<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Moments after Sanders had been shot, he felt the woman from the bar next to him. He\u2019s not sure if she survived.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was trying not to lean on her,\u2019\u2019 Sanders said. \u201cI put my coat over her. She was shivering and not breathing very well. And there was another woman\u2026who\u2019s an entertainer there. She was helping the other woman too, trying to encourage her to breathe.\u201d<\/p>\n

A Colorado Springs Police officer, who had arrived three minutes after the first shots rang out, came to Sanders with paper towels and Sanders placed them on the woman\u2019s stomach to try to stop the bleeding.<\/p>\n

Paramedics took the woman out of the club first, then Sanders. An ambulance rushed him to Memorial Hospital Central, where a team of doctors and nurses in the trauma center who often train for mass casualty events, stood at the ready.<\/p>\n

Sanders was among a dozen people who arrived at the hospital in the wee hours of Sunday morning. Sadly, caregivers have dealt with these kinds of crises before.<\/p>\n

Doctors took Sanders to surgery to debride the wounds to his back and leg. He had been in the hands of physicians before. He said he is a survivor who has beaten full-blown HIV-AIDS and he has coped with dementia too. He vowed he’ll survive this too.<\/p>\n

What hurts most is the loss of two bartenders and others who died in the shooting that night. He\u2019d known one of them for at least five years and another for a couple of years. One gave him a ride home late at night when he couldn\u2019t catch an Uber.<\/p>\n

Sanders and all of those who were at Club Q have gone through hell. For Sanders, the emotional is much harder than the physical. But he wants his friends and his family, and the world to know that he is a survivor.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll be ok.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
