Gunman Targets Dallas ICE Facility, Leaving One Detainee Dead and Two Injured

Summary

A shooter opened fire on a Dallas ICE facility, resulting in one detainee's death and two others injured; the suspect died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

On September 24, 2025, a shooting occurred at the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Field Office in Dallas, Texas, resulting in the death of one detainee and critical injuries to two others. The incident began around 6:40 a.m. when a gunman fired multiple rounds from an elevated position atop a nearby building, targeting the facility's sally port area.
