The sniper who opened fire against the Office of the Immigration Field and Customs Control of Dallas, killing a detainee and wounding two detainees, allegedly left a note about looking for fear for ice agents.
The handwritten note said: “Hopefully this will give the Real Terror Agents to think: ‘Is there a sniper with AP rounds on that roof?'” Said FBI director Kash Patel, in a statement on Thursday, the note that refers to armor drilling bullets.

Patel said that the sniper, identified by the sources as Joshua Jahn, supposedly had searches last month in applications that track the ICE agents and allegedly downloaded a document called “Dallas County National Security Office AND Emergency management “, which has a list of DHS facilities.
“He made multiple ballistics and the ‘Charlie Kirk filmed the video'” on Tuesday and Wednesday, Patel said.
Patel said that more evidence shows “a high degree” of Jahn’s planning, who died of a self -inflicted gunshot wound.

Jahn supposedly “shot indiscriminately” in the ice building on Wednesday morning, killing an ice detainee and critically wounding two others, one of whom is a Mexican citizen.
The detainees were being loaded with a truck when the shots exploded, according to a senior ice official. Some detainees were still in the truck when the shots sounded, and the ice agents returned to the shooting to take the rest of them to a safe place in a movement that “probably saved more lives,” said the official.

While no officer were injured, the National Security Department said the shooting was “an attack on the ICE police.”
On Wednesday, the FBI launched an image of recovered bullets, including an engraving with the phrase “Anti-Ec”, and DHS launched a photo that seems to show a shot on an American flag screen.

Vice President JD Vance said during the comments in North Carolina on Wednesday that the evidence that had not been published showed that the shooter was a “leftist extremist” who was “politically motivated to persecute people who are making our border fulfill.”
The FBI said the shooting is being investigated “as an act of objective violence,” and the interim director of ICE, Todd Lyons, said he would put all ice facilities on a higher alert.
