Police Recover Rifle, Ammunition and Body Armor from Suspect’s Home

Investigators executed a search warrant at the Palatine home of the Aurora temple suspect, recovering a semi‑automatic rifle, a fully loaded magazine, hundreds of cartridges and a tactical vest bearing extremist symbols. The suspect had messaged a coworker describing the failed attack, prompting the police response. He is charged with terrorist threats and illegal firearm possession and is held until a court date in late October.
