A shooting at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Dallas on Wednesday morning has left two people hospitalized and the shooter dead, officials confirmed.

The shooter died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, authorities said. The condition of the two other people was not immediately known.

In a statement, the Dallas Police Department said the preliminary investigation “determined that a suspect opened fire at a government building from an adjacent building.”

Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem said in a post on X that the motive is unclear.

Tricia McLaughlin, assistant secretary for public affairs in the Department of Homeland Security, told Fox News that the victims included detainees. She added that no federal agents were shot.
