A court hearing in Colorado Springs has revealed the suspect in a mass shooting at a local LGBTQ club was running a neo-Nazi website.

The suspect, whose name has not been released, is accused of shooting nine people at the club in February, killing one.

According to testimony given at the preliminary hearing, the suspect had visited the club more than six times before the shooting and had been running a neo-Nazi website for several months.

The Associated Press reported that the suspect had been posting white supremacist and anti-Semitic content on the website.

Police described the scene of the shooting as chaotic, with victims and witnesses fleeing the club in panic.

The suspect is due to appear in court again in April for a second hearing.
