In a tragic incident, a man opened fire at a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Dallas on Wednesday, killing several people. He later took his own life.
Kristi Noem, Secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, posted on X, "There was a shooting this morning at the Dallas @ICEgovDetention Facility. Details are still emerging but we can confirm there were multiple injuries and fatalities. The shooter is deceased by a self-inflicted gun shot wound. While we don’t know motive yet, we know that our ICE law enforcement is facing unprecedented violence against them. It must stop. Please pray for the victims and their families."

Acting ICE director Todd Lyons told CNN that three people were shot. " It could be employees, it could be civilians that were visiting the facility, it could be detainees. At this point, we're still working through that, "AP quoted Lyons as saying.
Lyons also added that the shooter, who was found dead near the roof of a building, was possibly a sniper.
