Dallas shooting suspect Joshua Jahn found with ‘Anti-ICE’ message after two detainees killed and another wounded – what we know so far
Joshua Jahn has been identified as the suspected sniper in the shooting at a Dallas Immigration and Customs Enforcement center, killing two ICE detainees and wounding another.
The suspect, 29, has been named in media reports but has not been identified by officials.
“Anti-ICE messaging” was found on the shell casings at the scene after the suspect “indiscriminately fired” at the holding center and a van in northwest Dallas Wednesday morning, the FBI said.
In total, four people were shot in the violence that unfolded Wednesday morning, including the suspect who died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, Dallas police said.
No ICE agents were injured in the shooting, the Department of Homeland Security said.
Joseph Rothrock, the FBI’s special agent in charge of the Dallas field office, said the incident is being investigated as an act of targeted violence.
The names of the victims have not been released.
Here’s everything we know about the shooting
Officials have not shared the identity of the suspected sniper, but he has been named him by several media outlets as 29-year-old Joshua Jahn.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem the attack “was motivated by hatred for ICE.”
The suspect died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, Noem said earlier.
He was found dead on the roof of a nearby immigration attorney’s office.
The preliminary investigation determined that a suspect opened fire at a government building from an adjacent building, authorities said.
The latest statement from the Department of Homeland Security said a “deranged gunman” launched an attack on the ICE facility and “fired indiscriminately” at the building and a van from a nearby rooftop.
