Berwyn, IL – New surveillance footage has emerged of a suspect who attempted to harm political commentator Nick Fuentes at his residence on December 18, 2024.
The suspect, armed with a pistol and crossbow, reportedly approached Fuentes’ home while he was livestreaming and shouted, “Yo, Nick!” before being apprehended nearby by law enforcement.
According to the Berwyn Police Department, the incident began around 11:38 p.m. when officers responded to reports of an armed individual on the 1800 block of Home Avenue.

OGDEN, Utah — A 16-year-old student, identified as Mason Caballero, has died following a shooting that occurred Tuesday afternoon near Ben Lomond High School in Ogden.
According to the Ogden Police Department and Ogden School District, the shooting took place in the area of 5th Street and Gramercy Avenue at approximately 2:45 p.m.
After being shot, the victim made his way to Ben Lomond High School seeking help.
At the time of the incident, students had already been dismissed for the day at 2:35 p.m. The shooting did not occur on school property.
Upon arrival at the campus, the school’s resource officer and staff members immediately rendered first aid to Caballero until emergency medical responders arrived.
He was transported to a nearby hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries.
In a statement released Tuesday evening, Ben Lomond High School Principal Velden Wardle confirmed the student’s death:
“We are deeply saddened to confirm that the student has passed away as a result of their injuries. Out of respect for the student’s family and because this remains an active police investigation, we are unable to release additional details at this time.”
The Ogden School District emphasized that this tragedy is not connected to the recent hoax bomb threat that occurred at the school the previous week.
All extracurricular activities at Ben Lomond High were canceled for the day.
Nearby schools also took precautionary measures during the police response. Highland Junior High School initiated a “secure” protocol—locking all exterior doors and keeping students indoors—until police confirmed there was no active threat.
Students were released under the supervision of law enforcement around 3:10 p.m. East Ridge Elementary School, which had dismissed students at 2:30 p.m., also enacted a brief secure status as a precaution for staff and students still in the building.
In a joint message to families, Principal Wardle and Superintendent Luke Rasmussen offered condolences to the victim’s loved ones and the broader school community:
“Our hearts are with the student’s family, friends, classmates, and all who are grieving this devastating loss. We mourn together as a school community. Law enforcement has verified that there was never an active threat to students or staff on our campus. Ben Lomond High School remains a safe and supportive place for all students.”
The district announced that grief counselors and trained support staff will be available at Ben Lomond High School throughout the week to assist students and staff in coping with the tragedy.
The Ogden Police Department continues to investigate the circumstances surrounding the shooting. No arrests or suspect information have been released at this time.
Officials urge anyone with information about the shooting to contact Ogden Police as the investigation remains active and ongoing.
