Detainee killed, 2 others wounded in shooting at Dallas ICE facility
The gunman took his own life; a bullet with ‘anti-ICE’ written on it was found at the scene
A shooter with a rifle opened fire from a nearby roof onto a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement location in Dallas on Wednesday, killing one detainee and wounding two others in a transport van before taking his own life, authorities said.
The suspect has been identified by a law enforcement official as 29-year-old Joshua Jahn. The official could not publicly disclose details of the investigation and spoke on condition of anonymity.
The attack is the latest public, targeted killing in the US and comes two weeks after conservative leader Charlie Kirk was killed by a rifle-wielding shooter on a roof.
“The shooter fired indiscriminately at the ICE building, including at a van in the sally port where the victims were shot,” the Department of Homeland Security said in a release about the Dallas shooting.
The surviving detainees were in critical condition at a hospital, said DHS, which earlier had said two detainees were killed and one was wounded before later issuing a correction.
No ICE agents were injured.
