A gunman opened fire from a nearby rooftop at the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) field office in Dallas on Wednesday morning, killing one detainee and injuring two others, authorities reported. The suspect, identified as 29-year-old Joshua Jahn, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound as law enforcement closed in.
The attack began around 6:40 a.m. as detainees were being escorted into the facility. The shooter targeted the secure transport zone, firing from an elevated position. FBI Special Agent in Charge Joseph Rothrock stated that shell casings recovered at the scene contained messages that were "anti-ICE in nature."
No law enforcement officers were injured during the incident. The Department of Homeland Security condemned the attack, emphasizing the need to protect ICE personnel. Authorities are investigating the shooter's motives and any potential connections to previous attacks on immigration facilities.
