- Hassan Chokr, 37, a convicted felon and resident of Dearborn, Mich., pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm after possessing multiple firearms inside a gun store.
- On December 2, 2022, Chokr drove through the parking lot of Temple Beth El in Bloomfield Hills, Mich., yelling antisemitic threats and profanities, including “You are all going to die!” and “F— you, Israel,” at Jewish parents and preschoolers entering the synagogue.
- After the incident, Chokr went to a Dearborn gun store and attempted to purchase guns by falsely claiming on a federal form that he had no prior felony convictions, despite a 2017 felony conviction.
- While awaiting the background check, Chokr stated he would “even the score” and use the firearms for “God’s wrath,” indicating intent to follow through on his threats; he was denied the purchase after the background check revealed his felony status.
- Chokr faces up to 15 years in prison. Read More
