Nick Fuentes, a controversial political streamer, reported an assassination attempt at his home in Berwyn, Illinois. The incident occurred on the night of December 19, 2024, when an armed intruder, later identified as 24-year-old John R. Lyons, attempted to enter Fuentes' residence while carrying a pistol, a crossbow, and incendiary devices. Fuentes claimed the assailant shouted his name and attempted to gain entry, but police arrived and fatally shot Lyons after he allegedly fired at them. The attacker was also wanted in connection with a triple homicide that occurred earlier that day in Mahomet, Illinois, approximately 140 miles south of Berwyn. Fuentes was unharmed during the incident, which he described as a targeted attack following a doxing incident. He has since called for donations to fund private security measures. The situation continues to develop as authorities investigate the circumstances surrounding the attack and the suspect's prior criminal activities.
