Dallas ICE Shooter Kills One; Evidence of Planning

A gunman identified as 29-year-old Joshua Jahn opened fire from a rooftop at an ICE facility in Dallas, killing one detainee and critically wounding two others before dying of a self-inflicted gunshot, authorities said. The FBI is treating the attack as a targeted act of political violence and federal prosecutors, DHS and local authorities continue a joint investigation. Investigators say they found evidence of extensive pre-attack planning — including downloaded lists of DHS facilities, searches for apps that track ICE agents, ballistics queries and searches for the “Charlie Kirk” shooting video — and recovered devices and writings from Jahn’s residence, including a handwritten note expressing a desire to “give ICE agents real terror.” Officials recovered casings and a stripper clip and an unused round engraved “ANTI-ICE,” and reporting and firearms experts indicate Jahn used an antique 8mm Mauser bolt-action rifle obtained in August. ICE officials criticized media coverage of apps that reveal ICE locations as potentially enabling attacks, and the shooting has intensified debate about rhetoric and political violence.
