On September 24, 2025, at about 6:40 a.m., Dallas Police responded to an assist officer call in the 8100 block of north Stemmons Freeway. The preliminary investigation determined that a suspect opened fire at a government building from an adjacent building. Two people were transported to the hospital with gunshot wounds. One victim died at the scene. The suspect is deceased.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem issued a statement, saying:
Details are still emerging but we can confirm there were multiple injuries and fatalities. The shooter is deceased by a self-inflicted gun shot wound. While we don’t know motive yet, we know that our ICE law enforcement is facing unprecedented violence against them. It must stop. Please pray for the victims and their families.
She reported that the shooter died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
“While we don’t know motive yet, we know that our ICE law enforcement is facing unprecedented violence against them,” Noem stated. “It must stop.”
Vice President JD Vance reposted Noem’s statement and added, “The obsessive attack on law enforcement, particularly ICE, must stop. I’m praying for everyone hurt in this attack and for their families.”
Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons reportedly indicated that no ICE officers were shot. The dead and wounded were all immigrant detainees. “It could be employees, it could be civilians that were visiting the facility, it could be detainees,” Lyons told reporters. “At this point, we’re still working through that.”
