At least five people have been killed and 18 injured after a gunman opened fire inside a gay club in the US state of Colorado.

The suspect was found inside the club. Two firearms were found at the scene.

Police did not suggest a motive for the shooting but said the investigation would consider whether it was a hate crim.

The FBI s assisting local police with the incident.

Two heroes

Two “heroic” people who were inside Club Q subdued the attacker, who is now in custody.

Officers received an initial emergency call about an active shooter just before midnight on Saturday.

Police asked people to be patient while they worked to identify victims and finalise the number of casualties, adding that some people had taken themselves to hospital.

Today the community remembers the victims.

President Biden tweeted:

Jill and I are praying for the families of the five people killed in Colorado Springs, and for those injured in this senseless attack.

While no motive in this attack is yet clear, we know that gun violence has a particular impact on LGBTQI+ communities across our nation.

Today on #TransDayOfRemembrance, we mourn the lives lost to anti-transgender violence. We mourn the lives lost last night in Colorado Springs.

We honor their memory, and it is in their honor we will always stand up to senseless acts of violence against the LGBTQ+ community. pic.twitter.com/fF5mGVuT4s

EU probes Meta’s WhatsApp AI chatbot policy for potential antitrust violations affecting third-party developers and competition.

The European Commission has opened an antitrust investigation into Meta over WhatsApp’s new AI chatbot policy. The inquiry examines whether the policy restricts third-party AI developers from accessing WhatsApp’s business tools, potentially breaching EU competition rules.

Meta updated its terms, effective January 2026, which have already barred new AI providers since October 15. The rules prohibit AI developers from using WhatsApp as their primary service, affecting a number of AI companies looking to integrate with the platform.

The EU’s competition commissioner is considering interim measures to ensure fair competition. If Meta is found in violation, it could face fines of up to 10% of its global annual revenue.
