BREAKING: Three Injured In Shooting At ICE Facility in Dallas; Perp Dead

Violence aimed at ICE facilities continues to ramp up, this time in Dallas, Texas. According to early reports, a sniper wounded at least three people before killing himself as police approached. 

The local ABC affiliate covered the shooting shortly after it happened:

CNN then picked up the story with a few more details:

At least three people were injured in a shooting at a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office in Dallas on Wednesday morning, according to ICE acting Director Todd Lyons.

“Preliminary information is a possible sniper,” Lyons said. “We have three individuals that are down at this time. We’re not sure on their condition. They’ve been taken to the hospital.”

The local NBC affiliate reports that the perp killed himself, although police are still looking for any other potential shooters:

An active shooter situation at a Dallas ICE facility on Wednesday morning left multiple people shot, with some in critical condition.

According to police sources on the scene, three people were shot and multiple are in critical condition. The suspect, armed with a rifle, was a sniper on a roof who died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head as agents approached.

As of now, there is no information about the perp or the victims. It’s not clear if the victims are ICE employees or detainees, or both. The local Fox station indicates that there may be a higher casualty count coming, with potentially multiple fatalities. Their live stream is ongoing and embedded below, but as always, be careful with early reports. Most of them turn out to be either in error or miscommunicated. 

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has issued a statement:

There was a shooting this morning at the Dallas @ICEgov Field Office. Details are still emerging but we can confirm there were multiple injuries and fatalities.

The shooter is deceased by a self-inflicted gun shot wound.

While we don’t know motive yet, we know that our ICE…

While we don’t know motive yet, we know that our ICE law enforcement is facing unprecedented violence against them. It must stop.  

Please pray for the victims and their families.

We’ll update as developments warrant, but it may be a while before we get firm details. 

Update: No new details yet (9:32 am ET), but the Associated Press reminds us of the context:

A man with an assault rifle fired dozens of rounds at federal agents as they were leaving a U.S. Border Patrol facility in McAllen on July 7. The man, identified as Ryan Louis Mosqueda, injured a police officer who responded to the scene before authorities shot and killed him. Police later found other weaponry, ammunition and backpacks inside his car.

Let’s not forget how House Democrats, led by LaMonica McIver, set the tone for violence at ICE facilities. 

Update: Homeland Security says that none of their officers got wounded in this shooting, but they can’t speak to local law enforcement. Still no word on fatalities other than the perp, and the casualty count thus far is still three wounded.
