A 45-year-old man from Addison, Illinois, is facing attempted murder charges after he allegedly fired shots at law enforcement officers from within his residence on Thursday, according to WLS reports.

Salvador Lozano, who appeared in court for the first time on Saturday, is also facing charges that include Aggravated Discharge of a Firearm at an Officer, Aggravated Battery to a Peace Officer, and Unlawful Possession of a Weapon by a Felon.

The incident unfolded when police in Addison responded to a 911 call on the 200 block of East La Porte Drive shortly before 11 a.m. on Thursday.

Authorities stated that Lozano had requested assistance, mentioning that people should come to locate his dogs or else his associates would take matters into their own hands, urging the police to fulfill their duties.

After a brief conversation, the initial officer departed. However, not long after, police were called back to the same address by a neighbor reporting Lozano’s erratic behavior.

Lozano allegedly warned officers that if they failed to locate his dog, he would “reign fire down at 12 o’clock,” according to officials.

Lozano allegedly spoke with officers before walking up his driveway and spraying pepper spray toward them. Lozano then allegedly threw the pepper spray can behind him and entered his home.

After more officers and an Addison police social worker arrived at the scene, Lozano allegedly exited his home, carrying something, and began shouting at the officers, only to return to his home while throwing an unknown liquid at officers when they approached him.

A short time later, Lozano allegedly fired approximately six to seven shots at officers from inside his home, striking one officer in the back as he retreated for cover. The officer, who was wearing a Kevlar vest, was transported to a local hospital and is recovering from non-life-threatening injuries.

Four officers returned fire, and Lozano fired additional shots from his home at around 11:48 a.m., 11:56 a.m., 12:12 p.m., 12:16 p.m., 12:26 p.m., 12:31 p.m., 12:36 p.m., 12:37 p.m., 12:45 p.m., 1:09 p.m., 1:17 p.m., and 1:22 p.m., officials said.

At approximately 3:15 p.m., SWAT took Lozano into custody.

Authorities found about 50 shell casings on the first floor of the home and more than 200 shell casings in the basement. Authorities also found three Glock handguns, each with an extended magazine, two drum magazines, two additional extended magazines, and multiple other magazines, along with multiple spent and unspent 45 mm and 9 mm rounds throughout the home.

Officers also found bullet holes and expended bullets from Lozano’s alleged shooting at seven nearby homes, as well as two Addison Police Department squad cars.

DuPage MERIT is investigating the officer-involved shooting.

A judge ordered him Lozano to remain in custody ahead of his trial.
