Conservative commentator Nick Fuentes revealed Thursday on Twitter that he was targeted at his Chicago home by a gunman who had just committed a triple homicide.
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!

Tragically, the gunman broke into a neighbors home to evade police & killed two of their dogs.
While heartbreaking, it could have been so unimaginably worse. God have mercy.
Doxing is not a game. This nihilistic lynch mob behavior must end before anyone else is killed.

I will now have to uproot my life and relocate. While I can handle whatever comes to my front door, it is irresponsible to expect my neighbors with young families to share that burden.
In the meantime I will have to contract 24 hour security to protect myself and my property.

Video from a Ring camera shows the gunman clearly said, “Yo Nick!” after ringing on his door.

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.

Hey @elonmusk you said doxxing would be banned on X but for the past month people have been regularly doxxing the address of Nick Fuentes to millions of views with no action taken.
Now that people are trying to murder him will @X commit to actually enforcing this policy? https://t.co/85Q2Ead8PB pic.twitter.com/f0QB8O7Jjk

The gunman, identified by police as 24-year-old John R. Lyons of Westchester, Illinois, killed three members of the same family just last night, according to local media.
From NewsNation, “UPDATE: Medical Examiner identifies Mahomet homicide suspect killed in Berwyn”:
The Champaign County Coroner identified the names of three family members who were killed in a shooting Wednesday night in Mahomet.
Coroner Laurie Brauer said Sara E. Mason, age 26, was pronounced dead at the scene in the 1100 block of Riverside Ct.
Janis L. Mason, age 61, and Caleb M. Mason, age 23, were both pronounced dead shortly after arriving at Carle Foundation Hospital, just after 10 p.m.
Fuentes’ home address was doxed after the presidential election by liberal X users angry over him making a joke stating, “Your body, my choice.”
The dox was allowed to go viral on Musk’s Twitter and rack up millions of views — despite undoubtedly being mass reported.
Last month, a Jewish feminist activist who goes by Marla Rose also shared Fuentes’ dox on her Facebook and harassed him at his home. After she approached Fuentes’ home and rang his doorbell, he pepper-sprayed her in self-defense. Incredibly, Rose elected to press charges against Fuentes even though she instigated the incident by harassing him.

Musk said last year that he would ban doxing from his platform but he has allowed groups like the Anti-Defamation League and Stop Antisemitism to dox people with wild abandon.
