Anderson Lee Aldrich, convicted mass murderer, shooting at Club Q in Colorado Springs, Colorado

No article allowed on Wikipedia

It's the same for Club Q, no article allowed on Wikipedia

It's the same problem we find with the Subway Vigilante or Bernhard Goetz, but not Omar Mateen

(who committed almost the exact same crime as Anderson Lee Aldrich, a mass shooting targeting gay or lesbian people, at a "gay" bar)

"Gay" is in quotes because the term isn't used as much, it's usually LGBTQ now, so while the Pulse Nightclub is labeled "a gay bar", or "gay nightclub", the term isn't 100% accurate anymore.

Why do some infamous killers have an article, while some are not allowed to ever have an article.

Nobody knows. There are no rules or guidelines on Wikipedia about this. The fact that a dead mass shooter  can have an article, while a living mass shooter can't, is an absurdism.  Mostly because an article on a  living mass murderer can be updated.  Especially when they end of dying.
