A 6-year-old boy was killed in an alleged hate crime attack in Illinois near Chicago on Saturday. The boy and his mother, who was injured in the stabbing attack, were allegedly targeted because they are Muslims.

The landlord is awaiting an initial court appearance on Monday afternoon, the Associated Press reports.Mr. Biden said the attack goes against the American values of 'freedom from fear for how we pray, what we believe, and who we are.
