Summary

Far-right provocateur Nick Fuentes claimed an armed man, later identified as a suspect in a triple homicide, attempted to assassinate him at his Berwyn, Illinois home.

Police fatally shot the gunman, John R. Lyons, after he disobeyed commands and fired at officers. The incident occurred amid rising tensions following the public doxxing of Fuentes’ address.

Separately, Fuentes is charged with misdemeanor battery for allegedly pepper-spraying a protester outside his home following his controversial social media post, “Your body, my choice. Forever.”

Fuentes decried harassment and threats against him, saying he fears for his safety and plans to relocate.
