White supremacist Nick Fuentes claims assassination attempt at home; suspect killed by police

Far-right influencer and streamer Nick Fuentes claimed he survived an assassination attempt at his residence on Wednesday night. Fuentes alleged that an armed individual, later killed by police, targeted him after his home address was doxed online.

“Last night an armed killer made an attempt on my life at my home,” Fuentes wrote on X (formerly Twitter). He described the suspect as carrying “a pistol, crossbow, and incendiary devices” and expressed his belief that the intruder intended to kill him.

The accused, who police believe was involved in the murders of three family members—Sara Mason, 26, Janis Mason, 61, and Caleb Mason, 23—earlier that day, reportedly broke into a home in Berwyn, a Chicago suburb. The suspect also killed two dogs during the break-in.

Police responded to a report of a shooter just before midnight. According to the Berwyn Police Department, officers confronted the suspect, who fled on foot before engaging in a shootout. Police returned fire, fatally striking the individual. No officers were injured in the incident.

While Fuentes thanked God for his safety, he noted the loss of his neighbor’s dogs, calling the situation “heartbreaking” but acknowledging that it “could have been unimaginably worse.”

It remains unclear if the suspect specifically targeted Fuentes or was aware of his residence. The investigation is ongoing.
