A shooter has opened fire at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Dallas, Texas.
“There was a shooting this morning at the Dallas @ICEgov Field Office. 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,” DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said.
“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,” she added.

Preliminary information suggests the shooter was a “possible sniper,” acting ICE Director Todd Lyons said in a CNN interview Wednesday morning.
“We have three individuals that are down at this time, we’re not sure on their condition. They’ve been taken to the hospital,” Lyons said.

No ICE officers were injured in Wednesday’s attack, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement Deputy Director Madison Sheahan told Fox News on Wednesday morning.
Wednesday’s shooting marked at least the third instance of an ICE or Customs and Border Protection facility being targeted by gunfire in Texas this year.
On July 4, a group of assailants targeted the Prairieland Detention Center, near Fort Worth, in what authorities described as a coordinated attack that left a local police officer shot in the neck. The officer survived, and more than a dozen people have been charged for their alleged roles in the attack.
Days later, a 27-year-old man with a rifle and tactical gear was killed by police after he opened fire on a Border Patrol facility in McAllen. Two officers and a Border Patrol employee were injured, and dozens of rounds were exchanged between the shooter and law enforcement.
And in August, law enforcement arrested a man who authorities said claimed to have a bomb in his backpack at the same Dallas ICE facility that was targeted in Wednesday’s shooting, the Department of Homeland Security said.
