Man accused of plotting mass shooting at Hindu temple to appear in court

Anthony Liz, good morning. We're talking about 19 year old Alexandros Paparakis. And yes, he's going to be inside a Rolling Meadows courtroom later on this morning around nine o'clock for an indictment related hearing. Now remember, there's those calls for him to face federal hate crime charges. But the last time we were in one of these courtrooms, there was no hint of that happening. Authorities say Paparakis tried to carry out a mass shooting at a Hindu temple in Aurora last month, but his rifle jammed before he could fire. He was arrested after a co-worker at Taco Bell overheard him talking about the attempt and alerted police. Inside his home, officers recovered weapons, ammunition, and a white supremacist manifesto. Paparakis faces state felony charges, including making a terrorist threat. He will remain behind bars after a judge ruled he posed a threat to public safety. His new private defense attorney, Fedor Kozlov, has already filed a motion for a speedy trial. And remember also Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthy and dozens of lawmakers are continuing their push for federal hate crime charges. Again, in his last court date, a judge ruled that Paparakis will remain behind bars without bond. Also his attorney, like I said, pushing for a speedy trial. Today is really a formality, this indictment related hearing. It's a chance for the court to read his official charges to then move on with the trial. So we'll be inside at nine o'clock and we'll bring you the very latest. I'll send it back to you. Okay.
