District Attorney Michael J. Allen informed reporters in Colorado Springs that the two firearms taken from Aldrich — an AK-15-style semiautomatic weapon and a "ghost" pistol without a serial number — were never returned. Aldrich was forbidden from getting a gun while the felony charges were pending for 383 days, according to Allen. However, Allen claimed that despite relatives alerting authorities to Aldrich's threats to carry out a mass shooting and bombing, prosecutors were repeatedly unable to serve subpoenas to them. Allen said on Thursday that during a hearing in July, Aldrich's defense lawyer asked for the case to be dismissed and informed the judge that while the prosecution had made "some very valiant efforts" to serve subpoenas to witnesses, "there was no likelihood these people were going to be showing up." The case was subsequently dismissed. Allen stated, "We did everything we could have in that case. We have to get the actual guy on the stand. Anderson Lee Aldrich Allen addressed the media shortly after the judge revealed the details of the 2021 case, which called into question the efficacy of Colorado's "red flag" law and whether law enforcement missed a chance to stop the shooting at Club Q. The "red flag" law permits relatives or authorities to ask for the temporary seizure of firearms from people who pose a threat to themselves or others.

Allen criticized a "false narrative" that, in his opinion, wrongly faulted prosecutors for failing to follow through on the case and hiding information about it. He claimed that the day the case was dismissed, his office asked the judge to reopen it. Allen stated that "I don't see anything about that prior case that would have averted the Club Q shooting" in the absence of testimony from Aldrich's grandparents, who reported the 2021 threats. By late Thursday afternoon, the unsealed case had been uploaded to a Colorado court's website. Aldrich's grandparents allegedly informed police enforcement that Aldrich wanted to "be the next mass killer" and that he possessed guns and bomb-making supplies. The grandparents allegedly fled the house and called 911, at which point police allegedly apprehended Aldrich on suspicion of felony menacing and kidnapping at the home of Aldrich's mother. The documents claim that Aldrich held the grandparents at gunpoint and told them they couldn't sell their home because "it would interfere with his plans to conduct a mass shooting and bombing."
