FBI says attack investigated as targeted violence; shooter dead by self-inflicted gunshot; anti-ICE messages found on ammunition.
Authorities say a gunman opened fire inside the Dallas ICE facility, killing two people and wounding another before dying of a self-inflicted gunshot wound on a nearby rooftop. The attack occurred at the facility that houses U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel, according to police and federal officials. The shooting is being investigated as targeted violence, and the shooter has not been identified.
During a briefing, officials said the ammunition used by the shooter carried anti-ICE messages. The FBI's Dallas Field Office Special Agent in Charge, Joe Rothrock, told reporters the investigation is ongoing and that authorities are examining possible motives and any link to groups. FBI Director Kash Patel posted a photo of the ammunition on social media as part of the bureau's update. Investigators are reviewing surveillance video and interviewing witnesses as they work to determine whether the attack was directed or the result of a broader threat to federal facilities.
Police said two people were killed and one injured in the assault. The shooter was found dead on a nearby rooftop from a self-inflicted gunshot wound after the confrontation. Authorities have not released the shooter's identity or background. The incident underscores security concerns around federal immigration facilities and the ongoing effort to understand threats against federal personnel.
Officials cautioned that details could change as the investigation unfolds. As evidence is collected, police and federal investigators are coordinating with local agencies to map the timeline and motive. Updates will be provided as new information becomes available.
