A shell casing found near the suspected shooter who opened fire at a U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement facility in Dallas reportedly contained messages that were "anti-ICE in nature," according to Dallas FBI Special Agent in Charge Joe Rothrock, who claimed the incident was an act of "targeted violence."
"What I can also share with you is that early evidence that we’ve seen from rounds that were found near the suspected shooter contains messages that are anti-ICE in nature," Rothrock said during a press conference via NBC News.
Rothrock confirmed that the three victims' identities would not be released publicly at this time, however, all were confirmed to be detainees. Two people were confirmed dead, included the suspect who died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
"While we’re not releasing identities of any victims at this time, what I can confirm for you is no members of law enforcement were hurt during this attack," Rothrock said.
FBI Director Kash Patel shared a photo of the alleged shell casings found at the scene, which showed one with "ANTI-ICE" written on it.
The suspected shooter was reported to have opened fire from an adjacent building, the Dallas Police Department confirmed in a post shared on its X account. The Dallas ICE facility had previously faced a bomb threat, Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin told FOX News.
