“Multiple Injuries And Fatalities” In Shooting At ICE Facility In Texas

At least one person has been killed and two others injured after a shooting attack at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Dallas on Wednesday morning.

The Dallas Police Department was called around 6:40 a.m. to assist an officer after a sniper opened fire from a building adjacent to the ICE facility, located at 8101 North Stemmons Freeway.

Authorities confirmed the shooter died at the scene of a self-inflicted gun wound, and the motive for the attack is not yet known.

“On September 24, 2025, at about 6:40 a.m., Dallas Police responded to an assist officer call in the 8100 block of north Stemmons Freeway. The preliminary investigation determined that a suspect opened fire at a government building from an adjacent building,” the Dallas Police Department said in a statement.

“Two people were transported to the hospital with gunshot wounds. One victim died at the scene. The suspect is deceased. This is an ongoing investigation, and we hold a media briefing later today.”

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said in a statement on X that details were still emerging.

“There was a shooting this morning at the Dallas @ICEgov Field Office. Details are still emerging but we can confirm there were multiple injuries and fatalities,” Noem said.

“The shooter is deceased by a self-inflicted gun shot 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.”

Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons was doing a live CNN interview when news of the shooting broke.

He said it was unclear who the gunman was and who had been targeted, but confirmed three individuals were shot.

“It could be employees, it could be civilians that were visiting the facility, it could be detainees,” Lyons said. “At this point, we’re still working through that.”

Vice President JD Vance sent his thoughts to those who had been shot, but tied the incident to attacks on law enforcement when a motive remains unclear.

“The obsessive attack on law enforcement, particularly ICE, must stop,” he wrote on X. “I'm praying for everyone hurt in this attack and for their families.”

ICE Deputy Director Madison Sheahan told Fox News that no ICE officers were injured in the shooting.

According to unconfirmed reports, the people injured in the attack were ICE detainees.

The FBI has confirmed it is assisting with the investigation.

“The FBI is fully engaged, in conjunction with our state and federal law enforcement partners, at the crime scene in Dallas," Deputy Director Dan Bongino posted on X.

Wednesday's shooting is not the first time this ICE facility in Dallas has been targeted.

In August, Homeland Security said Bratton Dean Wilkinson, 35, made a bomb threat against the facility after arriving at the reporting entrance of the Dallas Field Office.

“These incidents come after months of smears and rhetoric by activists, politicians, and the media comparing ICE law enforcement to the Nazi Gestapo, kidnappers, and the Secret Police," a senior DHS official said at the time.

“This shameful rhetoric has fueled a culture of hate against law enforcement resulting in a 1,000 percent increase in assaults against them. All sanctuary politicians, activists, and the media need to turn down their temperature.”
