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

Nick Fuentes reports surviving an alleged assassination attempt, with the armed suspect fatally shot 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.

Last night an armed killer made an attempt on my life at my home, which was recently doxed on this platform.

The gunman carried a pistol, crossbow, and incendiary devices. I believe he intended to kill me.

He is now dead. I am okay!

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."

Fuentes shared surveillance footage showing the armed intruder and expressed gratitude for surviving the ordeal. He warned against the dangers of doxing, stating, "Doxing is not a game." Fuentes also revealed plans to relocate due to safety concerns, announcing 24-hour security at his home until then.

The killer parked his car in front of my house and approached my door with his pistol drawn and what appears to be a crossbow. I was livestreaming at the time.

The suspect’s motives remain unclear, but Fuentes believes the attack was linked to the online release of his address. Authorities continue to investigate the connection between the suspect and the earlier homicides.
