"US Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem confirmed on Wednesday that a shooting took place at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Dallas. Authorities said one person was dead and two others were injured. Joseph Rothrock, special agent-in-charge of the FBI's Dallas field office, told reporters at a news briefing that the attack as an "act of targeted violence." "Early evidence that we've seen from rounds that were found near the suspected shooter contain messages that were anti-ICE in nature," Rothrock said."
"Noem wrote on X that the shooter "is deceased by a self-inflicted gun shot wound." The Dallas police department wrote on X that the shooter opened fire from an adjacent building. Local media in Dallas had reported that three people were injured in the attack. Dozens of emergency vehicles were seen responding to the shooting in the Texan city. Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons told CNN that the victims in the shooting could be employees, "civilians who were visiting the facility," or detainees."
