Summary

  • Cook County Judge ordered Alexandros Paporakis, 19, held without bond and to receive hormone injections and other treatment in jail after his arrest in an alleged Aurora temple shooting plot.
  • Police said a coworker’s tip stopped the attack after Paporakis allegedly drove to the Hindu temple with a modified rifle, body armor and about 300 rounds, then turned back when the gun malfunctioned.
  • Surveillance placed a red Acura registered to Paporakis at the temple at 12:25 p.m., and a later search of the Palatine home found a rifle, loaded magazine, hundreds of rounds and tactical gear.
  • Authorities said they also recovered an eight-page manifesto describing plans to kill Indian people and expressing neo-Nazi, white supremacist views targeting Jews, Black people and other non-white groups.
  • The temple said it has increased armed security, while Paporakis faces felony counts of making a terrorist threat and unlawful weapon possession and is due back in court on Oct. 30.
