"Authorities were investigating the attack as an "act of targeted violence," Joseph Rothrock, special agent-in-charge of the FBI's Dallas field office, told reporters at a news briefing. Officials did not comment on any specific motive, emphasising that the investigation is still in its early stages. The suspect opened fire on the office from an adjacent building around 6:40 a.m. local time (1140 GMT), police said."
"Law enforcement officers were not injured in the shooting, officials said. The shooting took place at an ICE field office, not a detention facility, where ICE officers conduct short-term processing of recently-arrested detainees. "It looked like it might have been a sniper or some sort of a long-form shot," Tricia McLaughlin, a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security, told Fox News' "Fox & Friends" earlier on Wednesday."
Authorities are investigating the shooting at an ICE field office as an 'act of targeted violence.' The suspect opened fire from an adjacent building around 6:40 a.m. local time. Two people were transported to hospital with gunshot wounds, one pronounced dead there, and a third died at the scene. Law enforcement officers were not injured. The field office handles short-term processing and is not a detention facility. A Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman described the incident as possibly involving a sniper or a long-range shot. The shooting followed the sniper killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk two weeks earlier and has raised concerns about political violence; senior administration officials have blamed liberal organizations without proof and the president signed an executive order labeling antifa a domestic 'terrorist organisation.'
