Nov. 21—Raymond Green Vance, 22, was at Club Q with his longtime girlfriend, her parents and a group of friends on Saturday night when a heavily armed gunman opened fire inside the Colorado Springs nightclub.

Vance was one of five people killed in the brief but horrific shooting rampage that injured more than a dozen.

"Raymond was a kind, selfless young adult with his entire life ahead of him," the family said in a statement Monday. "His closest friend describes him as gifted, one-of-a-kind, and willing to go out of his way to help anyone."
