One ICE detainee was killed and two others were injured on Wednesday when a gunman opened fire on an agency facility in Dallas, according to officials.

The FBI earlier said it’s investigating the shooting as a “targeted attack” against ICE, with the suspect being identified as Joshua Jahn. The shooting happened while ICE officers were taking detainees into the agency’s Dallas facility.

Federal officials said the suspect, who died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, had anti-ICE messaging on rounds found near his body. The shooting happened while the detainees were inside a law enforcement van, ICE sources told Fox News.

After the shooting, the FBI released an image showing a clip of rounds that had anti-ICE messaging on it.

“These despicable, politically motivated attacks against law enforcement are not a one-off,” Patel said. “We are only miles from Prairieland, Texas, where just two months ago an individual ambushed a separate ICE facility targeting their officers. It has to end and the FBI and our partners will lead these investigative efforts to see to it that those who target our law enforcement are pursued and brought to the fullest extent of justice.”

Larson said that law enforcement officers searched Jahn’s residence and found loose notes which detailed a “game plan” of the attack as well as target areas at the facility. Jahn called ICE employees individuals who showed up to collect a “dirty paycheck” and wrote that he intended to “minimize” any collateral damage or injury to detainees, Larson said.

Jahn said in one of the notes that “it was just me,” Larson said.

“The tragic irony for his evil plot here is that it was a detainee who was killed. And two other detainees that were injured when he fired into the sally port,” Larson said. “He also hoped his actions would give ICE agents real terror of being gunned down. And he did this to induce constant stress in their lives. He hoped his actions would terrorize ICE employees and interfere with their work, which he called human trafficking.”

Patel was in Dallas on Wednesday for a “prescheduled visit” and visited the incident command center.

Fox News’ Anders Hagstrom and Greg Norman contributed to this report.
