"The FBI said on Thursday that the suspect in the shooting at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) detention facility in Texas the day before had engaged in a high degree of planning before the attack. The FBI director, Kash Patel, said in a post on X that the alleged perpetrator downloaded a document titled Dallas County Office of Homeland Security & Emergency Management containing a list of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) facilities."
"The shooting occurred early on Wednesday at a facility in Dallas, with a spray of bullets fired from a rooftop hitting a building and an Ice transportation van, killing one Ice detainee who was inside the vehicle and badly injuring two others. No Ice staff were hit in the attack, which the Trump administration condemned as being an action aimed at law enforcement and is urgently investigating, amid a surge in political violence in the US."
"Patel on Thursday said that the suspect conducted multiple searches of ballistics and the Charlie Kirk Shot Video in recent days, referring back to the murder of the rightwing activist and youth politics leader who was shot dead at an event in Utah earlier this month. Patel further posted of the Texas suspect: Between 8/19 8/24, he searched apps that tracked the presence of Ice agents."
