Ted Hakey, 48,
pleaded guilty in February to firing at least four shots at the
Baitul Aman Mosque in Meriden in the early morning hours of Nov.
14, hours after learning of the Nov. 13 attacks by gunman and
bombers affiliated with the Islamic State.
No one was injured in his attack.
A review of Hakey's social media postings in the hours leading
up to the shooting showed a stream of anti-Muslim comments,
including "the only solution is to wipe Islam off the face of
the Earth," according to court documents.
Federal prosecutors asked a judge in court filings to sentence
Hakey, who was arrested on Dec. 18 and released on bond on Jan.
4, to eight to 14 months in prison, followed by one to three
years' supervised release.
Hakey's attorneys are seeking a sentence of time served plus two
years' supervised release.
