A suspect who wrote \u201cANTI-ICE\u201d on an unused bullet killed one person and wounded two others on Wednesday at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) field office in Texas, US, before taking their own life, officials said.<\/p>\n
FBI director Kash Patel posted a photo on X of what he said were the suspect\u2019s unspent shell casings that showed one with the words \u201cANTI-ICE\u201d written along the side.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile the investigation is ongoing, an initial review of the evidence shows an ideological motive behind this attack,\u201d Mr Patel wrote.<\/p>\n
At a news briefing in Dallas, officials disclosed the existence of the shell casings but emphasised that the investigation was still in its early stages. <\/p>\n
Authorities were treating the attack as an \u201cact of targeted violence\u201d, Joseph Rothrock, special agent-in-charge of the FBI\u2019s Dallas field office, told reporters.<\/p>\n
Officials did not offer any details about the suspect\u2019s identity.<\/p>\n
The suspect opened fire on the office from an adjacent building around 11.40am Irish time, police said. Two people were transported to a hospital with gunshot wounds, while a third person died at the scene.<\/p>\n
Law enforcement officers were not injured in the shooting, officials said. The attack took place at an Ice field office, not a detention facility, where Ice officers conduct short-term processing of recently-arrested detainees.<\/p>\n
\nThis morning just before 7am local time, an individual fired multiple rounds at a Dallas, Texas ICE facility, killing one, wounding several others, before taking his own life. FBI, DHS, ATF are on the ground with Dallas PD and state authorities. <\/p>\n
