国会议员拉贾·克里希纳穆尔蒂（Raja Krishnamoorthi）对此事发表了评论。一名19岁的男子因涉嫌策划大规模枪击事件而被捕，警方认为该袭击目标可能是奥罗拉（Aurora）地区的一座印度教寺庙。亚历山德罗斯·帕波拉基斯（Alexandros Paporakis）于10月11日（星期日）被捕，被指控犯有恐怖主义威胁罪（属于X级重罪）以及非法持有长度小于16英寸的步枪罪（属于3级重罪）。
克里希纳穆尔蒂在社交媒体上写道：“一名白人至上主义者企图在奥罗拉的印度教寺庙内屠杀印度裔美国人，这令人震惊。这种反印情绪和白人至上主义的危害性不容忽视；我们绝不能等到无辜者遭到伤害才采取行动。我感谢那些及时发出警告的同事以及介入调查的执法人员。每个美国人都应该能够生活在没有恐惧的环境中、自由地信仰自己的宗教，我们必须团结起来，共同抵制一切形式的仇恨。”
Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi has spoken out after a 19-year-old man was arrested after police uncovered an alleged plan for a mass shooting that investigators believe may have targeted a Hindu place of worship in the Aurora area. Alexandros Paporakis was arrested Sunday, October 11, and charged with making a terrorist threat, a Class X felony, and unlawfully possessing a rifle with a barrel shorter than 16 inches, a Class 3 felony.“I am horrified that a white supremacist allegedly attempted to massacre Indian Americans at a Hindu temple in Aurora. This is where the poison of anti-Indian hatred and white supremacy can lead, and we cannot wait until innocent people are killed to take it seriously. I am grateful to the coworkers who sounded the alarm and the law enforcement officers who intervened,” Krishnamoorthy wrote on X. “Every American deserves to live and worship without fear, and we must stand together against hatred in all its forms,” he added.
根据Fox32Chicago的报道，帕波拉基斯曾在阿灵顿高地（Arlington Heights）的一家Taco Bell餐厅担任收银员，工作了大约七个月。一名同事向调查人员透露，他经常对其他种族的人（尤其是印度人）发表贬低性言论。据称，他公开表示自己是白人至上主义者，并经常谈论纳粹主义及武装斗争。
Allegations against Alexandros PaporakisProsecutors said that Paporakis worked as a cashier at a Taco Bell in Arlington Heights for about seven months, per Fox32Chicago. A co-worker told investigators that the suspect often made disparaging comments about people of other races, particularly people from India.
这名美国青少年曾将印度人称为“低等人”，并因涉嫌策划袭击印度教寺庙而被捕。据指控，帕波拉基斯曾在周六对同事表示自己迫不及待想要杀害印度人，还透露了自己袭击奥罗拉最大印度教寺庙的计划，并表示会使用大量弹药。

另一位同事表示，Paporakis将当天描述为“一个特殊的日子”。当天下午，Paporakis通过电话告诉那位同事，称自己的枪出了故障，因此他“非常迅速”地离开了现场。随后，他向该同事发送了一段视频，视频中显示一把类似AR步枪的武器在扣动扳机时无法发射；他还附上了一张自己穿着战术背心的照片。检察官称，Paporakis在电话中讨论了枪械可能出现的问题，并表示“等问题解决后，他会再次尝试使用这把枪”。
He even revealed his plans to attack the largest Hindu temple in Aurora, adding that he would use a large amount of ammunition. Another co-worker said Paporakis described the day he was planning as a "special day." Paporakis told the first co-worker over a call the following afternoon that he allegedly said his gun had jammed and he had gotten out of there "super-fast." He then allegedly sent the co-worker a video showing an AR-style rifle failing to fire when the trigger was pulled.
那么，亚历山德罗斯·帕波拉基斯（Alexandros Paporakis）到底是谁呢？他是一名青少年，被指控密谋在奥罗拉（Aurora）的一处印度教礼拜场所发动枪击事件。
He even attached a photo of himself wearing a tactical vest. He then discussed possible fixes for the gun so he could "retry when I fix this," prosecutors said.
那位同事以及另一名员工随后立即拨打了911报警。帕拉廷警方于当天下午3点42分，在帕波拉基斯公寓附近的停车场将其抓获（该公寓位于北鲍德温法院（North Baldwin Court）1300街区）。
