TAG: During the search of Paporakis’ home, police said they found hundreds of rounds of additional rifle ammunition, body armor, and a patch displaying imagery associated with white supremacy. They believe that Paporakis drove to a Hindu temple intending to carry out the attack, but his rifle jammed and he drove home. Police were able to arrest him because of a tip from a Good Samaritan. His next court appearance is scheduled for Friday, October 30.
