(The Center Square) – Some legislators are calling for more taxpayer funding of nonprofit security grants after a potential mass shooting was averted in the Chicago suburbs.

U.S. Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, D-Illinois, said he and countless other families were at the Balaji temple in Aurora on Oct. 10 to mark the beginning of one of the most important holidays in the Hindu religion, when an alleged shooter was in the parking lot with 300 rounds of ammunition.
