A Chicago-area man has been arrested on charges accusing him of firing a pistol into the air twice amid the crowd on the Capitol’s west plaza on Jan. 6, 2021, and a judge ordered him held in jail until his arraignment in Washington.

John E. Banuelos, 39, adds to the list of Donald Trump followers who are alleged to have brought firearms to the Capitol that day. Though some Trump supporters have claimed the insurrection was peaceful, eight men have been convicted of possessing guns at or near the Capitol on Jan. 6, and a Drug Enforcement Administration agent who prosecutors say posed for photos flashing his badge and a pistol is awaiting trial.

A Donald Trump supporter charged with firing a gun outside the Capitol during the Jan. 6 attack was ordered detained by a federal judge in Chicago on Wednesday after prosecutors argued his conduct was "mind-numbingly dangerous" and no conditions of his release could guarantee public safety.

John Banuelos was publicly identified in an NBC News story in February 2022, but it wasn't until last month that another Jan. 6 rioter published video footage that appeared to show Banuelos firing the weapon that was seen in his waistband.
