The three immigrant detainees who were shot at by the suspected gunman at a Dallas ICE facility on September 24 have reportedly been identified. Although lack of clarity still prevails over the name of the ICE detainee who was shot dead that day, a senior Department of Homeland Security official divulged some important revelations to USA TODAY on Friday (US time).
Even this disclosure came forward while the DHS official maintained their anonymity as the US Immigrations and Customs Enforcement has yet to publicly release the names of the shooting victims due to the ongoing investigation.
On Wednesday, a sniper “fired indiscriminately at the ICE building, including at a van in the sallyport where the victims were shot,” according to the previously released official DHS statement. The incident led to the death of a migrant detainee, while two others were severely injured. 29-year-old Joshua Jahn was ultimately identified as the suspected shooter, who died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound at the scene.
