Rooftop Gunman Fires on Dallas ICE Field Office, Leaving Detainees Dead and Wounded

Investigators cite anti-ICE markings on recovered rounds as evidence of a targeted attack.

Overview

  • Authorities say the shooter fired from a nearby rooftop into a secured sally port, striking detainees in a van, before dying of a self-inflicted gunshot.
  • DHS confirmed all three victims were detainees and said no law enforcement officers were injured.
  • Officials reported conflicting casualty counts, with Dallas police stating one dead and two wounded as others later reported two fatalities.
  • The FBI is treating the case as targeted violence after finding rounds with anti-ICE messages near the suspect.
  • Officials have not formally released the gunman’s identity as multiple outlets named him as 29-year-old Joshua Jahn, and leaders including Kristi Noem, JD Vance and Greg Abbott condemned the attack and referenced recent assaults on ICE and CBP sites in Texas.
