Multiple people were injured at a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office in Dallas on Wednesday morning, according to Kristi Noem, the Department of Homeland security secretary.
Law enforcement told CNN that at least two of the victims were Ice detainees. Todd Lyons, the acting Ice director, told the network that three people were shot and all were taken to the hospital, but did not specify who they were.
Noem confirmed on X that the suspected shooter died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound and wrote: “While we don’t know motive yet, we know that our Ice law enforcement is facing unprecedented violence against them. It must stop.”
Dallas Police said in a post on X that they responded to a call on 24 September “at about 6:40am”.
“The preliminary investigation determined that a suspect opened fire at a government building from an adjacent building. Two people were transported to the hospital with gunshot wounds. One victim died at the scene. The suspect is deceased. This is an ongoing investigation, and we hold a media briefing later today,” they wrote.
