FBI Says Dallas Shooter’s Rounds Contained ‘Anti-ICE’ Messages, Attack Being Investigating as ‘Targeted Violence’

The now-deceased shooter who targeted a Dallas, Texas ICE facility wrote “anti-ICE” messages on his rounds, according to the FBI.

Three people at an ICE facility were shot by a gunman on the roof of an adjacent building on Wednesday morning. The victims were reportedly detainees, though law enforcement did not confirm this on Wednesday. Authorities did confirm, however, that no officers were injured in the shooting. One of the victims died at the scene, and the shooter died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Joe Rothrock, the FBI’s special agent in charge in Dallas, revealed in a Wednesday press conference that “early evidence” shows that there are “anti-ICE” messages “in nature” found on rounds near the shooter.

FBI Director Kash Patel posted a photo of the rounds to X.

“While the investigation is ongoing, an initial review of the evidence shows an idealogical motive behind this attack (see photo below). One of the unspent shell casings recovered was engraved with the phrase ‘ANTI ICE.’ More updates will be forthcoming,” Patel wrote.

The FBI is investigating the shooting as “targeted violence,” just the latest example, Rothrock noted.

“It is unfortunately just the most recent example of targeted violence,” he said.

The very same ICE facility was hit with a bomb threat in August, leading to a man’s arrest.

A total of four people were shot and two are deceased, including the shooter. The gunman reportedly shot the victims while they were inside a transport van, though this was not confirmed by police.

Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson (R) urged “restraint” and “calm” in theorizing about the shooter’s motives while the investigation is ongoing.

“We are a country and a city that needs prayer,” Johnson said.
