Only hours after tea party-backed Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL) released a statement warning that radical Islam was trying to kill Amerians, police say that shots from a high-velocity air rifle narrowly missed a security guard at the Muslim Education Center near Chicago, while about 500 Muslims prayed inside during Ramadan services.
According to a statement from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the FBI was investigating a possible hate crime after David Conrad was arrested for firing at least two shots into the the mosque.
A press release from Morton Grove police said that off-duty police officers working as security guards saw someone firing shots from Conrads home. The release indicated that a high-velocity air rifle had been confiscated from the home.
Security guards told police that there had also been a number of other incidents of mosque damage that had not been reported.
