Officials in Dallas, TX provided the latest information on the deadly shooting at the ICE facility on Wednesday.
Authorities provided more information on the suspected gunman, 29-year-old Joshua Jahn.
In a post on social media, Director Patel said the FBI has been working around the clock to seize devices, exploit data, and process writings found at Joshua Jahn’s home and in his bedroom.
According to Patel, Jahn downloaded a document titled “Dallas County Office of Homeland Security & Emergency Management,” which contained a list of Department of Homeland Security facilities.
He also conducted multiple searches of ballistics and the “Charlie Kirk Shot Video” between Sept. 23 and Sept. 24.
Jahn allegedly left handwritten notes behind that read in part, “Hopefully this will give ICE agents real terror, to think, ‘Is there a sniper with AP rounds on that roof?’”
“To include Jahn’s own words in his handwritten notes, Jahn specifically intended to kill ICE agents. He fired at transport vehicles carrying ICE personnel, federal agents, and detainees. He also fired multiple shots into the windows of the office building, where numerous ICE employees do their jobs every day,” FBI Special Agent in Charge Joseph Rothrock said during a news conference.
Both FBI officials said it’s clear Jahn engaged in a high degree of pre-attack planning.
“He searched for information about the office building and how to track ICE agents’ locations. Jahn also acknowledged the potential for other casualties. He knew with a high likelihood ICE detainees would be transported that morning in the exact location where he was facing from his perch on a nearby rooftop. Jahn’s attack did, in fact, result in the tragic death of one detainee and the injury to two other detainees,” Rothrock said.
