While she is not a member of the LGBTQ+ community, Gamblin said, she is an ally. Aldrich had expressed an open hatred for the LGBTQ+ community and had indicated an interest in mass shootings before, the document said.

Tom Wolfe in New York Photo: Yann Gamblin/Paris Match via Getty ImagesTom Wolfe was not only one of the great writers of the 20th century but he was an unusually theatrical one. From his spats to his homburgs, with his cape, his wolf-tipped walking stick, his dazzling, bespoke three-piece suits in white or cream, he looked like a parody of an Edwardian fop. Moreover, he wasn’t just the most venerated journalist (and journalistically based novelist) of his generation, he helped found the New Journalism school of writing, inspired many imitators, and caused cranial detonation among his many detractors. He did all of this in a televisual age, making frequent appearances on chat shows and submitting to the “60 Minutes” treatment. If any writer can make an apt subject for a documentary, it’s Wolfe.

Aldrich offered no details about why they carried out the shooting, and little explanation beyond a bare-bones admission using legal language. They did not directly admit to committing hate crimes in targeting Club Q, but instead said they were pleading “no contest” because it was likely that they would be convicted at trial. The five people killed that night were Daniel Aston and Derrick Rump, who were employees of Club Q, and Kelly Loving, Raymond Green Vance and Ashley Paugh, who were Club Q patrons. “Those are my friends’ lives,” said Ashtin Gamblin, who was hit with nine shots as she worked the door of Club Q on the night of the attack. There’s absolutely no doubt why he chose Club Q.”

Ashtin Gamblin never realized how expensive it would be to survive a mass shooting. nightclub in Colorado Springs last November, the bills started piling up for Ms. Gamblin. Colorado has raised more than $3 million in donations for people affected by the Club Q shooting and distributed about $2 million, through a nonprofit called the Colorado Healing Fund. But several survivors say the money has come too slowly, with too much red tape. “This is exhausting,” Ms. Gamblin said.
