NYC man charged with bombs, ‘human sacrifices’ hit list was elementary school security guard
A Queens man charged with keeping a “human sacrifices” hit list that included cops and judges as he stockpiled homemade bombs and ghost guns was a security guard at a suburban elementary school on Long Island.
Angelo Hatziagelis, who was busted with his wannabe anarchist brother at their mother’s home in Astoria, was a guard at the John F. Kennedy Elementary School in Great Neck until school district officials got wind of his arrest by cops and federal agents.
“The individual in question had been assigned to JFK Elementary without any incident of any kind since the start of this school year,” Great Neck Schools Superintendent Kenneth Bossert said in an email to district parents on Tuesday, according to the district.
“However, I must emphasize that he has not been present at JFK or any district facility since his arrest and he will not be permitted to return to school grounds for any reason moving forward,” Bossert wrote.
He said Hatziagelis worked for Arrow Security, which contracts with the school district and was not employed directly by the Great Neck School District.
Officials at Arrow Security did not respond to a request for comment from The Post on Tuesday.
Hatziagelis and his 39-year-old brother Andrew, were named in a 130-count indictment announced by Queens prosecutors this week, including charges that the pair manufactured untraceable ghost guns, homemade bombs and pro-anarchist propaganda, investigators said.
The siblings allegedly also kept a hit list scribbled on notebook paper naming “cops, judges, politicians, celebrities,” as well as “banker scum” and “corporate scum,” the indictment said.
“Wipe out the scum,” the disturbing scribblings said. “Wipe out the earth.”
Cops executed a search warrant at the Astoria home the brothers shared with their mom and another sibling on Jan. 17 and allegedly seized a cache of “improvised” explosive devices, AR-15-style and 9 mm “ghost guns” and more than 600 rounds of ammunition, authorities said.
The two are being held without bail and face up to 25 years in prison each if convicted.
Bossert, meanwhile, said Angelo Hatziagelis “met all New York State requirements to hold an unarmed security guard license at the time of his arrest.”
The superintendent said that while the district did its due diligence, it is reviewing hiring practices.
“We have conducted a careful review of all mandated protocols with our contracted service provider, Arrow Security, to ensure no steps were overlooked during the hiring practice,” he said.
“Additionally, Arrow Security confirmed that this individual also underwent and passed a full background check by an independent investigations firm, as well as drug testing prior to his placement within GNPS,” Bossert said.
