Two ICE detainees were killed and another person was injured in a shooting at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement office in Dallas, sources say.
DALLAS — Two detainees were killed and another person was injured in a shooting at a Immigration and U.S. Customs Enforcement office in Dallas. The shooter is dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police sources told WFAA.
Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons confirmed the shooting during an interview on CNN on Wednesday. The agency didn’t immediately provide additional details.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said details were still emerging but the agency was confirming there were “multiple injuries and fatalities.” Noem said the motive remained unclear but noted there has been an uptick of targeting of ICE agents.
Dozens of emergency vehicles were seen along a highway near the facility. Traffic cameras near the scene show six lanes of a normally busy freeway completely empty, with cars and semi-trailers ground to a halt on an interstate exit.
Sources told WFAA, our Dallas sister station, that police were searching for a possible sniper or multiple shooters. It remains unclear if there were any other shooters involved in the incident.
Sources confirmed to WFAA that one shooter was found dead on the roof of a nearby immigration attorney’s office.
The victims were in critical condition but more details were not immediately available.
The Dallas Fire-Rescue Department was dispatched at 6:41 a.m. after a call reporting a shooting at or near the immigration office, department spokesperson Jason L. Evans said in an email. Evans said he didn’t have any confirmed details he could share, calling it an active and ongoing incident.
