A gunman opened fire at a federal immigration facility in Dallas. The attack happened on Wednesday morning. It left one person dead and others injured.
Authorities have identified the suspect as 29-year-old Joshua Jahn. The investigation has taken a strange turn with the discovery of a bizarre message on a vehicle linked to the shooter.
Vehicle Message Points to Possible Motive
Investigators are examining a gray car believed to be connected to Jahn. A sign on the vehicle contained a lengthy, cryptic message. It referenced “radioactive fallout from nuclear formations.”
The message specifically mentioned events since 1951. According to reports from the Associated Press, this could relate to historical US nuclear tests. The exact meaning remains unclear to investigators.
Photos of the car were widely shared on social media. The vehicle was parked near the scene. Officials have not yet confirmed if the car definitively belonged to Jahn.
Shooting Classified as “Targeted Violence”
The FBI is leading the investigation. They have classified the shooting as an act of targeted violence. The attack began around 6:40 a.m. at the ICE building on Empire Central Place.
According to the Department of Homeland Security, the shooter fired indiscriminately. A detainee was critically injured in the attack. No ICE agents sustained physical injuries.
FBI Director Kash Patel commented on the incident. He noted a bullet found at the scene had “ANTI-ICE” written on it. This suggests a potential political motive behind the attack.
