Officials say the rooftop gunman intended to terrorize ICE personnel, prompting heightened security.

Overview

  • Federal investigators identified the suspected shooter as 29-year-old Joshua Jahn and said he left writings indicating he sought to terrorize agents before dying of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot.
  • The three detainees shot in a transport van were named as Miguel Ángel García-Hernandez and José Andrés Bordones-Molina, who were hospitalized, and Norlan Guzman-Fuentes, whom the medical examiner ruled a homicide victim.
  • Surveillance video shows ICE and ATF officers extracting detainees under fire and moving them into the building, and officials said no agents were injured.
  • Garcia’s wife said he remains in critical condition and described finding him unconscious and shackled to a hospital bed, pressing ICE for better protections and transparency for those in custody.
  • Federal security at immigration facilities has been increased nationwide, and the Justice Department said it would deploy agents to protect ICE sites while the FBI and ATF continue the investigation.
