Overview
- Federal and local authorities said the 29-year-old suspect died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot after firing on a detainee transport at an ICE facility in Dallas.
- Three detainees in a sally-port van were struck, leaving one dead and two in critical condition, and no ICE officers were injured, according to officials.
- The FBI said a bullet found near the shooter was marked with the phrase “anti-ICE,” and the Dallas FBI chief described the attack as targeted violence.
- Vice President JD Vance asserted that unreleased evidence indicates a political motive and labeled the suspect a left-wing extremist, a characterization investigators have not confirmed.
- Relatives and acquaintances said Jahn did not seem overtly political; public records list him as an independent voter with a 2016 felony marijuana plea.
