Police are searching for a motive after a 22-year-old man opened fire in a gay nightclub in Colorado Saturday night killing 5 and injuring another 25.

Now friends and family are remembering the five people who were killed, including a man from Green Country, Daniel Aston.

The victim from Oklahoma, Daniel Aston, was from Broken Arrow and graduated from Broken Arrow High School, according to various social media accounts.

In an interview with CBS News, Sabrina Aston, the mother of the victim, said Daniel moved to Colorado Springs with his family and worked as a bartender at 'Club Q.

"He lit up a room, this old expression, but he really did. Always smiling, always happy and silly. Like I said, everybody liked seeing him because he brought up the room," said Sabrina Aston.

Officials say the heroic actions of a few patrons, who subdued the gunman, saved lives.

Police say the alleged shooter is in custody and was treated for injuries.
