Hector Gomez is not charged with shooting at federal agents. He is charged with aggravated unlawful use of a weapon and possession of a gun as a felon after he allegedly pointed the firearm at a woman in the parking lot of Aguascalientes at 26th and Kedzie.

A CPD officer was hit by a car in the middle of all this. A baby girl got pepper sprayed. Multiple arrests by both CPD and the feds. Hundreds of people followed this convoy up Kostner to Roosevelt on foot, in cars and on scooters.
