Graphic bodycam footage shows the moments law enforcement entered a home in Dixon, Illinois and were immediately fired upon by an armed suspect, identified by police as Jonathan Gounaris.

Dramatic new body camera footage from Ogle County, Illinois reveals the frightening moments three first responders were shot during a confrontation at a home in Dixon. The 32-year-old man officials say shot at law enforcement when they entered his home is now charged with attempted first degree murder and several weapons offenses. The suspect, Jonathan Gounaris, is expected to appear in court Thursday around 3 p.m., according to his attorney.

According to the sheriff, a firearms owner's identification card owned by the suspect was revoked before the incident due to a clear and present danger report. Illinois State Police are now handling the investigation into the shooting. A review of the incident will be conducted at the conclusion of criminal proceedings against Gounaris to determine whether any agency policy violations occurred, VanVickle said. Fox News' Stepheny Price contributed to this report.
