Sending and releasing multiple keys at once using AutoHotkey

I'm attempting to send three keys (Alt, Shift, Q) at same time using this script: 

:*:pk::   ;
Send, {AltDown}{ShiftDown}{qDown}
return

When I run this is it does not release the keys, it seems like the Alt button remains pressed. After the above keys are pressed I then want to press the "q" character again (separately, not at same time).

How can I amend my script above to achieve this?

When using Down, you must also send an Up to the same key or else it will remain pressed. This can be achieved like this:

:*:pk::
    Send, {Alt Down}{Shift Down}{q Down}{Alt Up}{Shift Up}{q Up}
    Send, {q}
