Berwyn police returned fire, and fatally shot the suspect.

No officers were injured in the incident.

It was late, but one woman who heard some of the violent interaction was clearly rattled.

“When I hear it, the voice, the police say, ‘don’t move. Stay there.’ I ran into my room in the front. I saw police officers with the gun, I go hiding,” she said.

Others in the neighborhood were awoken.

“I started to see some bright lights being flashed into the houses,” nearby resident Taylor Gean said.

Moments later and just next-door, another neighbor heard a commotion.

“It started screaming, the police officers. Somebody started screaming at him,” Juana Viccsarra said. “He’s got black glove on the left hand. Right hand he not have glove.”

Right-wing commentator Nick Fuentes, who lives on the block, posted a photo on social media, claiming a man approached his door with a pistol dawn, and what he says appears to be crossbow. Fuentes said the man yelled his name, while trying to enter the home.

“I heard a couple gunshots toward the alleyway. As soon as I heard that, I heard a little bit of rustling in the yards. So, I went right back inside,” Gean said.

Berwyn police said the man was wanted for a triple homicide committed that same day in Mahomet, Illinois, which is just outside of Champaign.

The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office identified him as John R. Lyons.
