A shooting at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement center in Dallas left one detainee dead and two others critically injured in what federal officials described as a “targeted attack” against the agency.

Federal Bureau of Investigation Director Kash Patel tweeted a photo of unspent shell casings from the scene, including one with the phrase “anti-ICE” written on it. The Department of Homeland Security said the shooter died of a self-inflicted gun wound. No law enforcement officers were hurt.
