The shooting occurred around 7 a.m. Central Time and prompted a large police presence in the area."

The acting director of ICE said the victims were in the sally port area, where detained immigrants are held. Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News that the victims included detainees and that no federal agents were injured in the shooting.
