Rep. Krishnamoorthi confirms family was present during foiled Aurora temple attack
U.S. Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi confirmed he and his family were worshipping at the Sri Venkateswara Swami Balaji Temple in Aurora, Illinois, on Sunday when a 19-year-old man allegedly attempted a mass shooting. Authorities arrested Alexandros Paporakis after his rifle jammed and he informed co-workers of his intent to retry. Investigators recovered a white supremacist manifesto, tactical gear, and hundreds of rounds of ammunition from his home in Palatine. The suspect faces charges for making a terrorist threat and unlawful weapon possession, with a court appearance scheduled for October 30.
