A 51-year-old man has been arrested for shooting at a mosque near Chicago while hundreds of worshipers prayed inside.
David Conrad, from Morton Grove, Illinois, used a pellet rifle to fire multiple shots at the Muslim Education Center mosque neighbouring his house, just after 8.30pm on Friday.
One of the shots narrowly missed a security guard stationed at the place of worship, according to the Chicago Tribune.
Conrad is facing charges of aggravated discharge of a firearm and criminal damage to property.
Police later seized a ‘high-velocity air rifle’ at the man’s home.
Nearly 500 Muslims were praying inside the mosque at the time of the shooting to celebrate the holy month of Ramadan.
A F*cking AIR RIFLE FFS! Maybe he could have put someones eye out lol
Not shooting at a building he couldn’t. An air rifle can’t do any damage at all to a building. Even if you are 2 inches away.
Illinois, eh? Obama-land. Wonder how many ‘shooters’ that actually snuffed out life during the last week – will be apprehended, charged and convicted as quickly as this village idiot shooting an air rifle at a mosque in ol’Chi town.
maybe we could have a collection and get him a Barret.
sounds like a plea for help
@OxAO
yep….where do I sign-up
He lived next door to it. I imagine this was a long time brewing. I wonder at his choice of weapon. What was his wish?
It was a rehearsal !
I’m actually a crack shot with an air rifle Vlad. Sad but true…..
I’m pretty fucking good with a hand gun too, or at least I was until the law changed
this was in my youth tho…..
Shotguns on clays, not so much
I can only hit 3 out of 5
on average
No charges wouldve been laid if he was screaming “allah shitbar”
It depends on the air rifle, some can be modified to a 1600 fps velocity so they could kill within 50 yards if you hit the right place, hitting a building would do nothing.
Illinois has some nasty gun laws and he may have lived in Chicago which has even nastier ones, so cut him some slack. I will check with a friend from that area and see what I can find out.
E.L.D. – Three out of five’s good,all you need now is a willing friend,i’ve a funny feeling there’s a big Q.starting to form.
Sorry couldn’t find anything more, my friends agree that either he wasn’t serious or that was all he could get.
