Graphic Image of Dallas ICE facility shooting suspect Joshua Jahn after taking his own life
Authorities have officially identified the gunman behind Wednesday’s deadly sniper attack outside a federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Dallas as 29-year-old Joshua Jahn.
The shooting left four people dead, including Jahn himself, and has sparked renewed concern over security measures at federal facilities and during detainee transport operations.
Unspent cartridges engraved with “ANTI-ICE” were found near his body, suggesting an ideological motive.
The incident began around 6:40 a.m. on September 24, 2025, when Dallas police received multiple reports of gunfire near the 8100 block of North Stemmons Freeway.
According to investigators, Jahn positioned himself on the rooftop of a building adjacent to the ICE facility and opened fire on an unmarked van transporting detainees as it entered the premises.
Three detainees inside the van were struck by gunfire. One victim died at the scene, while two others were rushed to a local hospital.
By midday, officials with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed that a second detainee had died from injuries, bringing the death toll to three.
The third victim remains hospitalized in critical condition.
As law enforcement closed in, Jahn fatally shot himself, ending the standoff. “The suspect is deceased,” Dallas Police said in an official statement. “This remains an active and ongoing investigation.”
The FBI, DHS, and Dallas Police Department are jointly investigating the incident.
While authorities believe they have established the suspect’s background, no motive has been released. Investigators are continuing to examine Jahn’s actions and movements in the days leading up to the shooting.
Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson is expected to address the public in a press conference with local officials. Congressman Marc Veasey (D–TX) also issued a statement calling the attack a “senseless act of violence against vulnerable individuals”, extending his condolences to the victims and their families.
The deadly attack has rattled the Dallas community and drawn sharp attention to security vulnerabilities at federal facilities.
Former law enforcement leaders have already described the incident as a “serious security breach” that underscores the need for immediate review of safety protocols.
Authorities continue to investigate, with further updates expected in the coming days.
TAUNTON, Mass. — One person was killed and seven others were injured in an overnight shooting at a house party in Taunton, Massachusetts, authorities said.
The shooting happened at approximately 12:35 a.m. Sunday at a residence in the 261 Weir Street area. Taunton police officers responded after receiving multiple 911 calls reporting gunshots.
When officers arrived, they found several people suffering from gunshot wounds. Investigators were also informed that additional victims had already been transported to area hospitals for medical treatment.
Authorities ultimately identified eight shooting victims, all of whom were reportedly in their early 20s.
One of the victims, 22-year-old Zirovick Depina of Brockton, was pronounced dead early Sunday morning, according to the Bristol County District Attorney’s Office.
Of the seven surviving victims, one remains in serious but stable condition, while the others suffered injuries that were considered non-life-threatening. Their identities have not been publicly released.
The shooting occurred during a gathering at the residence. Images from the scene showed a tent and tables in the yard, along with white balloons and what appeared to be a photo backdrop near a garage.
A neighbor told authorities that large gatherings and loud parties had reportedly been common at the residence.
The home is located about a mile from the Taunton Police Department headquarters. The neighbor expressed concern about the shooting occurring in the area, particularly given the late-night activity.
The investigation is being conducted by Taunton Police, Massachusetts State Police detectives assigned to the Bristol County District Attorney’s Office, and other investigative units. Detectives are working to determine what led to the gunfire and identify those responsible.
Anyone with information about the shooting is urged to contact Taunton police or investigators with the Bristol County District Attorney’s Office.
The investigation remains active and ongoing, and additional information is expected as authorities continue gathering evidence and interviewing witnesses.
