PEOPLE who had appointments at the ICE office are turned away after a shooting on Wednesday in Dallas.

A shooter with a rifle opened fire from a nearby roof onto a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement location in Dallas on Wednesday, killing one detainee and wounding two others in a transport van before taking his own life, authorities said.

The suspect has been identified by a law enforcement official as 29-year-old Joshua Jahn. The official could not publicly disclose details of the investigation and spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

The exact motivation for the attack was not immediately known. FBI Director Kash Patel posted a photo on social media showing a bullet found at the scene with the words “ANTI-ICE” written on it in what appeared to be marker.

The Department of Homeland Security said in a release that shots were fired “indiscriminately at the ICE building, including at a van in the sallyport,” a secure and gated entryway.

The surviving detainees were in critical condition at a hospital, said the department, which previously said two detainees were killed and one was wounded before later issuing a correction.

No ICE agents were injured.

The attack is the latest public targeted killing in the U.S. and came two weeks after conservative activist Charlie Kirk was killed by a rifle-wielding shooter on a roof.

At a news conference midday, authorities gave few details about the shooting and did not release the names of the victims.

The FBI said it was investigating the shooting as “an act of targeted violence.”

Officers responded to a call to assist an officer on North Stemmons Freeway around 6:40a.m.Wednesday and determined that someone had opened fire at a government building from an adjacent building, Dallas Police Officer Jonathen E. Maner said in an email.
