Katy Picard, an emergency medicine physician at UCHealth Memorial Hospital Central, was having a fairly quiet shift last Saturday, with only a few patients in need of treatment, when a nurse gave her the news that changed everything. “One of the nurses came over to tell me that there was an active shooter … and that we might be getting anywhere from 10 to 20 gunshot victims,” Picard said. The incoming wounded were the victims of a mass shooting at Club Q, an LGBTQ+ nightclub on Colorado Springs’ east side. Five people were killed in the attack, and another 17 were wounded.
