Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet tweeted that he was \"sending strength to those who were injured, the survivors, and Colorado's LGBTQ community.\"

\"As we seek justice for this unimaginable act, we must do more to protect the LGBTQ community and stand firm against discrimination and hate in every form,\" Bennet said.

I'm devastated to hear about the shooting in Colorado Springs that cut five more lives tragically short. I'm thinking of their families and loved ones, and sending strength to those who were injured, the survivors, and Colorado's LGBTQ community.

\"Our hearts are broken for the victims of the horrific tragedy in Colorado Springs, and their loved ones.\" GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis said in a statement Sunday. \"This unspeakable attack has robbed countless people of their friends and family and an entire community's sense of safety. You can draw a straight line from the false and vile rhetoric about LGBTQ people spread by extremists and amplified across social media, to the nearly 300 anti-LGBTQ bills introduced this year, to the dozens of attacks on our community like this one.\"

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis said, \"My heart breaks for the family and friends of those lost, injured and traumatized.\"
