A Waukegan, Illinois resident, 29-year-old Alvaro Grijalva, is facing serious charges, including five counts of attempted murder, after allegedly firing shots at federal agents during a search of his home. The incident occurred on Tuesday when five agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) were executing a search warrant at Grijalva's residence. He is accused of firing at the agents twice, narrowly missing them. Thankfully, no agents were injured in the incident.

Following the alleged shooting, Grijalva was apprehended by authorities upon exiting his residence. In addition to the attempted murder charges, Grijalva also faces one count of unlawful use of a weapon by a felon and five counts of aggravated discharge of a firearm. He is currently being held at the Lake County Jail on a substantial $10 million bond, with his next court appearance scheduled for July 25th.

Lake County State’s Attorney Eric Rinehart emphasized the severity of the charges, stating, "We filed the highest charges possible because this offender needs to be isolated from the community for as long as possible in light of this violent attack." The reason for the initial ATF investigation remains unclear at this time. Authorities are continuing their investigation into the matter.
