"Three detainees were shot at an ICE facility in Dallas this morning, the Department of Homeland Security said in a statement. Two people are dead, and the third is in critical condition, according to DHS. No ICE officers were hurt in the shooting, Dallas police said in a news conference. The victims' identities will not be released at this time."
"The suspect, who was found dead with a self-inflicted gun wound, has been identified as Joshua Jahn, according to multiple senior law enforcement officials briefed on the investigation. One bullet found near the shooter contained messages that were "anti-ICE in nature," Special Agent in Charge of the Dallas FBI Joe Rothrock said at a news conference. He added that the attack was an act of "targeted violence.""
"The shooter fired multiple rounds from a nearby roof or an elevated position down into the field office's sally port, an ICE spokesperson confirmed. The motive behind the shooting, or what the shooter was targeting, is not immediately clear. (I take FBI reports of etchings on bullets with about six pounds of salt.) While shaving, William of Ockham mused to me that the sniper must have been there to shoot detainees because only detainees were hit. However, some conservative politicians predictably leaped into the discussion."
Three detainees were shot at an ICE facility in Dallas; two died and the third was in critical condition. No ICE officers were injured. The suspect was found dead with a self-inflicted gunshot wound and identified as Joshua Jahn. Investigators recovered a bullet or shell casing engraved with anti-ICE messaging, and FBI officials described the attack as targeted violence. The shooter fired multiple rounds from an elevated position into the field office's sally port. Motive and specific target remain unclear. Some conservative politicians, including Kash Patel, asserted an ideological motive and cited the engraving.
