Police say a 22-year-old gunman opened fire at a gay nightclub in Colorado Springs, killing five people and leaving 25 injured before he was subdued by "heroic" patrons.

Investigators were still determining a motive, and the shooting was being investigated whether it should be prosecuted as a hate crime.
