The writing, retrieved from the suspicious shooter’s house, provides the clearest photographs to date about what has affected the attack. Officials say there is a detailed plan aimed at immigration enforcement agents.
Things you need to know about the shooters and victims at the Dallas Ice Detention Center
New details have been revealed about the suspects and victims of the Dallas Ice Detention Center shooting. At least one of the victims was a Mexican national.
The gunman suspected of being attacked in an attack on a US immigration and customs facility in Dallas said he wanted to inflict “real fear” on his agents, federal prosecutors said Thursday.
A handwritten note recovered from the home of a suspected shooter of 29-year-old Joshua Yarn said on September 25 that Nancy Larson, who expressed her “hate towards the federal government” and a desire to give ice agents a taste of fear, said on September 25th that she is playing the U.S. lawyer for the Northern District of Texas.
The latest details shared by federal agents are the most solid details of what affected the shooting that killed one person and two seriously injured.
“What he did is the very definition of terrorism,” Larson said.
The note explained his desire to “frighten ice employees and interfere in a job called human trafficking,” adding that Larson “hopes to minimize collateral damage or injuries to detainees.”
Instead, on September 24, detainees were killed and two people were seriously injured in an attack at the Dallas Immigration Agency’s field office. Larson called the outcome “a tragic irony of his evil plot.” Law enforcement agencies were not injured. Authorities say Yarn was found dead at the scene from a self-harmed gunshot wound.
FBI officials said the gunman was fired from a nearby rooftop with a vehicle carrying federal agents and detainees. The gunman also fired multiple shots into the windows of an office building where immigration enforcement employees worked. The Dallas facility also serves as a processing centre for detainees arrested by immigration agents.
The release of information based on the writings of the suspicious shooter takes place the day after the attack. Initially, the only information shared by authorities about what affected the shooting came from an unadulterated shell casing near Yarn’s body. According to FBI Director Kash Patel, the casing has the phrase “anti-ice” written on it.
Authorities believe Yarn acted alone. Larson said Yarn argued full responsibility for the attack and wrote, “Yes, it was just me and my brain.” The investigators found no evidence of “membership of a particular group or entity.”
According to Larson, Yarn is said to have written “Good luck with the digital footprint.”
The attack is the latest shooting that stirs up tension national debate over political rhetoric and violence. Two weeks ago, conservative activist and ally of President Donald Trump, Charlie Kirk, was killed in a single shot during a speaking event at the University of Utah.
The ice facilities are increasing security as a result of the September 24 shooting, officials said.
