Neo-Nazi Teen Allegedly Attempted Mass Shooting at Illinois Hindu Temple, But Rifle Jammed
In suburban Chicago, a self-described neo-Nazi teenager has been arrested for allegedly planning to carry out a mass shooting at the largest Hindu temple in Aurora, Illinois. Police say 19-year Alexandros Paporakis visited the temple on Sunday, but his AR-15 jammed. Authorities were alerted by one of the teenager’s co-workers at Taco Bell. At his mother’s home, police found a rifle, hundreds of rounds of ammunition, tactical gear and a manifesto in which the teenager described himself as a “sociopathic white supremacist Neo Nazi filled with hatred, fantasizing about mass murder nearly every day.” He has been charged with making a terrorist threat and illegal gun possession.
