A tragic scene unfolded Wednesday morning outside an ICE facility in Dallas. Reports confirm a gunman opened fire from an elevated position near the building, leaving multiple people shot before the shooter was found dead from an apparent self-inflicted wound.
What We Know and Can Confirm
The shooting occurred outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) field office on North Stemmons Freeway, near I-35E in Dallas.
Law enforcement confirmed at least three people were shot. CBS Texas and multiple outlets report one victim dead, two critically injured.
The shooter is dead, apparently from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to officials.
Heavy police presence flooded the area. Traffic cameras and witnesses captured dozens of emergency vehicles converging on the scene.
⚠️What Remains Unconfirmed
Some early reports said the shooter fired from the top of a building. Police have clarified the gunfire came from an adjacent structure, but it’s not yet confirmed whether this was a rooftop or another elevated position.
The identities of the victims—whether ICE employees, civilians, or others—have not been released.
The motive remains unknown. Officials have not stated whether the facility itself was deliberately targeted.
