Overview

• Officials identified the gunman as 29-year-old Joshua Jahn, who fired from a nearby rooftop at dawn, killed one detainee, critically wounded two others inside a transport van, and then died by suicide; no ICE personnel were injured.
• FBI Director Kash Patel detailed evidence of a high degree of planning, including downloads of a DHS facility list, late‑August searches of apps tracking ICE agents, multiple ballistics queries, and searches for the “Charlie Kirk Shot Video.”
• Agents recovered an unspent casing marked “ANTI-ICE” and handwritten notes stating the goal was to give ICE agents “real terror,” maximize lethality against ICE personnel, and minimize harm to detainees, with indications the shooter did not plan to survive.
• Acting U.S. Attorney Nancy Larson said the writings indicate Jahn acted alone and called the attack “the very definition of terrorism,” while authorities said they have found no evidence linking him to an organized group.
• DHS ordered increased security at ICE facilities nationwide, and ICE officials warned that public tools used to track officers pose operational risks as the investigation continues.
