Dallas Shooting: Gunman Wrote Anti-ICE Messages on Ammunition, ‘Fired Indiscriminately’ at Building

***This is breaking news. The situation remains fluid.

We know a person shot at least three people at a Dallas, TX, ICE facility this morning.

Authorities confirmed the shooter is dead, apparently by a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The person shot three people, all detainees, killing two. The other two remain in the hospital.

The police did not release any identities.

The FBI will treat the shooting as an “act of targeted violence.” The guy killed ICE detainees, but the rounds had anti-ICE messages on them.

So yes, it is likely an attack on ICE. The shooter was yards away and shot in the dark. I doubt he could identify his targets.

UPDATE 2:18 PM: DHS released this statement:

This morning, a deranged gunman attacked a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Dallas field office from a nearby rooftop. The shooter fired indiscriminately at the ICE building, as well as at a van in the sallyport where the victims were shot.Three detainees were shot. Two are deceased, and the other is in critical condition. The gunman was found with a self-inflicted gun wound.We can confirm, the shell casings were found with anti-ICE messages on them. This was an attack on ICE law enforcement.This horrific attack occurred amidst the 1000% increase in assaults against @ICEgov. Politicians and media pundits must stop the vile lies and smears designed to demonize and dehumanize ICE law enforcement. This shooting must serve as a wake-up call to the far-left that their rhetoric about ICE has consequences.DHS is working with partner agencies on the ground. Please join us in praying for the victims and their families.President Trump and @Sec_Noem stand with the men and women of ICE.

UPDATE 11:27 PM: Authorities identified the shooter as Joshua Jahn, 29.

UPDATE 1:11 PM: This X post from Julio Rosas makes me think the gunman was just shooting and not aiming at someone.

UPDATE 11:20 AM: The authorities started a press conference. An FBI special agent said the shooter inscribed anti-ICE messages on the ammunition:

I can confirm at this time that the FBI is investigating this incident as an act of targeted violence. It is, unfortunately, just the most recent example we’ve seen of targeted violence to include here in North Texas. We’re back on July 4. We saw a coordinated attack carried out against an immigration detention center in Alvarado, Texas. What I can also share with you is that early evidence that we’ve seen from rounds that were found near the suspected shooter contained messages that are anti-ICE in nature. Again, this is just the most recent example of this type of attack. This will be a whole of government response. There will be no resource not utilized to bring all those individuals who are responsible to be, to bring them to justice and to hold them accountable. While we’re not releasing identities of any victims at this time, what I can confirm for you is no members of law enforcement were hurt during this attack.

Dallas Police Chief Daniel Comeaux confirms one victim died and the shooter is also dead:

Today at approximately 6:40 a.m. [Central], we received an assist the officer call. We responded to the call, got to the scene, and we later learned that we had four individuals that were shot, two of them deceased, including the shooter. The DPD was quickly — was able to locate the shooter who was deceased. We’re going to be working this investigation shoulder to shoulder with our federal partners.

FBI Director Kash Patel posted an update on X:

This morning just before 7am local time, an individual fired multiple rounds at a Dallas, Texas ICE facility, killing one, wounding several others, before taking his own life. FBI, DHS, ATF are on the ground with Dallas PD and state authorities.While the investigation is ongoing, an initial review of the evidence shows an idealogical motive behind this attack (see photo below). One of the unspent shell casings recovered was engraved with the phrase “ANTI ICE.” More updates will be forthcoming.These despicable, politically motivated attacks against law enforcement are not a one-off. We are only miles from Prarieland 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 the these investigative efforts to see to it that those who target our law enforcement are pursued and brought to the fullest extent of justice.Thankfully, no law enforcement personnel were injured. Please pray for the injured and deceased.

UPDATE 10:02 AM: I’m seeing reports that two of the detainees are dead.

KDFW in Dallas reported one victim has died:

One of the victims was confirmed dead, and police say three or four others were shot.Police identified the shooter as a white male. The suspect died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.

Police sources said the man “was a sniper on a roof armed with a rifle.”

This is the third attack on an ICE facility in Texas in 2025. The first happened on July 4.

On August 26, a man arrived at the Dallas facility and claimed he had a bomb in his backpack.
