A shooting at the Dallas Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office has left two people dead, including the suspect, and two others wounded, officials say.
The shooting occurred at about 6:40 a.m. local time.
According to police, the suspect opened fire from an adjacent building.
Two people were transported to the hospital with gunshot wounds, the Dallas Police Department said in a statement posted to X. One victim died at the scene.
The suspected shooter died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, officials said. Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons told multiple news outlets that the shooter appeared to be “a sniper.”
An ICE spokesperson told NBC News that the three victims were detainees and that no federal law enforcement officers were injured.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said that a motive for the shooting is not yet known.
“While we don’t know motive yet, we know that our ICE law enforcement is facing unprecedented violence against them. It must stop,” Noem said in a post on X. “Please pray for the victims and their families.”
The FBI is assisting in the investigation.
Appearing on Fox & Friends, Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said it “looked like it might have been a sniper or some sort of a long-form shot.”
McLaughlin also noted that the shooting took place at an ICE field office, where recently-arrested detainees are processed before they are taken to a detention facility elsewhere.
