The illegal migrant who allegedly opened fire on a Jewish man walking to synagogue in Chicago last weekend was hit with new hate crime and terrorism charges on Thursday, according to authorities.
Sidi Mohamed Abdallahi, 22, was slapped with the additional charges after he allegedly shot and wounded a 39-year-old Jewish man Saturday morning in the city’s West Ridge neighborhood — and then got into an ensuing shootout with authorities leading up to his arrest.
“This shooting is deeply personal to members of our Jewish community, we know that,” Windy City Police Superintendent Larry Snelling said during a press conference streamed locally. “But this shooting should be personal to everyone across the city.”

Just before he exchanged gunfire with police, the alleged gunman reportedly shouted “Allahu Akbar.” He was critically wounded in the shootout where medics were also caught in the crossfire. Abdallahi remained hospitalized on Thursday.
