Mosque Forgives Man Who Shot at Them

Members of the Baitul Aman mosque in Connecticut forgave a man who shot up their mosque following the Paris attacks.  When members discovered he was a neighbor, Ted Hakey, Jr., they visited him and invited him to the mosque.  In a tearful encounter the mosque members forgave him, and Hakey expressed his wish that he had gotten to know them earlier.  The mosque is asking for a lighter sentence as the man goes before the court.
