At least three people were injured in a shooting at an ICE facility in Dallas, Texas on Wednesday, Fox News confirmed.
The shooting reportedly occurred as ICE officers were transferring detainees into the facility. The shooter died due to a self-inflicted wound, authorities say. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem confirmed there were “multiple fatalities” in the shooting.
High-ranking Dallas Police Department sources told Fox News the shooting occurred at roughly 7:30 a.m. local time. They say no law enforcement officers were injured, but that three people were shot and two were killed.
“There was a shooting this morning at the Dallas ICE Detention Facility,” Noem wrote on X. “Details are still emerging but we can confirm there were multiple injuries and fatalities. The shooter is deceased by a self-inflicted gunshot 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,” she added.
Authorities say the shooter opened fire when the sally port to the facility was open during the transfer of detainees, attempting to force his way in. It is unclear whether the shooter is included in the three people authorities say were shot.
