A Lombard man allegedly threatened to shoot two Muslim men Tuesday, saying “F*** you f***ing Muslim motherf*****s. This is America. Get the f*** out of here.'

Larry York, 46, allegedly approached a man who was sitting in a car, waiting for a friend around 8:30 p.m. at the West Point Apartment Complex. York asked the man what he was doing and then started swearing at him and telling him he didn't belong in this country, according to the DuPage County State's Attorney's Office.

York then allegedly punched the man's car window and walked back to the lobby where he saw the second victim exiting an elevator, officials said. York began swearing at the second man and threatened to beat him. A short time later, one of the victims was sitting on a bench outside the building. York approached the pair again and twice lifted the other end of the bench, causing the seated man to fall to the ground, according to officials.

York allegedly told the men he called four of his friends to come over and shoot them. York then threatened the men, saying "F*** you f***ing Muslim motherf*****s. This is America. Get the f*** out of here. I’ll shoot you, motherf****s, get out of here.""The Village of Lombard is a proudly diverse community," Lombard Police Chief Tom Wirsing said.
