Dallas Rooftop Shooter Kills ICE Detainee, Acted Alone

News summary

Authorities identified the shooter as 29-year-old Joshua Jahn, who opened fire at a Dallas ICE facility at daybreak from a nearby rooftop in a targeted, ambush-style attack that killed one detainee and critically wounded two others while no ICE personnel were hurt. Jahn fatally shot himself at the scene and left handwritten notes and electronic files expressing anti-government and anti-ICE sentiment and a desire to "incite terror," including a note reading "Yes, it was just me," indicating he very likely acted alone. The FBI said Jahn specifically intended to kill ICE agents and that evidence at the scene and in his downloads pointed to a high degree of pre-attack planning. Investigators have found no confirmed ties to an organized extremist group, though his writings and online searches — including queries about a recent rooftop killing — suggested he sought to emulate such violence and maximize lethality. Homeland Security and federal officials moved to bolster security at ICE sites, and immigrant advocates condemned the attack and called for greater protections for migrants and staff.
