BREAKING: Mass Shooting Plot Targeting Sri Venkateswara Temple in Aurora, Illinois, Foiled

A 19-year-old suspected White supremacist, Alexandros Paporakis, has been arrested for allegedly plotting a mass shooting at a Hindu place of worship in Aurora, Illinois.

Investigators say the suspect had been planning the attack for two years and allegedly targeted Indians and South Asians.

Police recovered an AR-style rifle, ammunition and tactical gear.

A potentially devastating hate-driven attack may have been prevented.

Paporakis worked as a cashier at a Taco Bell in Arlington Heights for nearly seven months.

According to a co-worker who spoke to investigators, Paporakis regularly made racist remarks, particularly targeting Indians. He openly identified himself as a White supremacist and frequently spoke about Nazis and armed struggle.
