Rooftop Gunman Targets Dallas ICE Office, Killing One Detainee and Wounding Two

Families of the wounded are pressing ICE on detainee protections.

Overview

  • Officials identified the detainees as Miguel Ángel García-Hernandez of Mexico, Jose Andres Bordones-Molina of Venezuela, and Norlan Guzman-Fuentes of El Salvador, with the medical examiner naming Guzman-Fuentes, 37, as the deceased.
  • García-Hernandez remains in critical condition on life support, and his wife says he was shackled to his hospital bed while unconscious as ICE controls access to his room.
  • Investigators say the suspected shooter, 29-year-old Joshua Jahn, climbed to a nearby rooftop and fired an 8mm bolt-action rifle at the facility and a transport van; he was later found dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot.
  • Surveillance video shows ICE and ATF officers rushing detainees from the van into the building under fire, and authorities report no law enforcement injuries.
  • Federal authorities have boosted protection for immigration sites nationwide, and the Justice Department says it is deploying agents to guard ICE facilities.
