TL;DR

Nathan Donald Pelham, a man charged with misdemeanors for entering the Capitol on Jan. 6, opened fire on local sheriff's deputies in Texas on the day he was scheduled to surrender to the FBI. He was arrested and charged with an additional count of being a felon in possession of a firearm. Pelham could face up to 15 years in prison on the felony gun charge on top of any penalties he may receive for the misdemeanors counts connected to the Capitol attack. This is not the first time a Capitol attacker has tried to go after law enforcement officers or charged with trying to do so.
