Shooting at Dallas ICE Facility: Multiple Detainees Killed in Transport Van, Suspect Dead
Authorities confirmed that four people are dead—including the gunman—after a sniper opened fire on an unmarked van transporting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainees outside a federal facility in Dallas early Wednesday morning.
The incident occurred at approximately 6:40 a.m. on September 24, 2025, when Dallas police responded to reports of gunfire near the 8100 block of North Stemmons Freeway.
According to investigators, the assailant positioned himself on the rooftop of a building adjacent to the ICE facility and fired multiple rounds at the van as it entered the premises.
Three detainees were struck by gunfire.
One victim was pronounced dead at the scene, while two others were transported to a local hospital.
By midday, officials with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed that a second detainee had succumbed to injuries, raising the victim count to three. The third detainee remains in critical condition.
The shooter, identified only as a white male armed with a rifle, fatally shot himself as law enforcement officers closed in.
“The suspect is deceased,” Dallas Police said in a statement. “This is an ongoing investigation, and we will provide further details during a scheduled media briefing later today.”
Law enforcement sources indicated that investigators believe they know the suspect’s identity but are awaiting final confirmation before releasing it to the public.
Both the FBI and DHS are assisting the Dallas Police Department with the investigation.
Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson is expected to join police officials in a press conference later today to address the attack. Congressman Marc Veasey (D–TX) issued a statement expressing condolences, calling the shooting “a senseless act of violence against vulnerable individuals.” He added, “Our office continues to keep the victims in our prayers.”
The attack has left the community shaken and raised fresh concerns about security at federal facilities and during detainee transport operations.
Former law enforcement leaders in Dallas have already described the incident as a “serious security breach” requiring immediate review of existing protocols.
Authorities have not yet disclosed a motive, and the investigation remains ongoing.

Angela Johnson and Her Son DeAngelo Johnson Killed After Shooting Inside Home in Chicago, Mother’s Boyfriend in Custody
CHICAGO — A 47-year-old mother and her 27-year-old son were fatally shot inside a residence in Chicago’s Austin neighborhood on the West Side late Thursday night, September 24, 2026, according to Chicago police.
The victims were identified as Angela Johnson, 47, and DeAngelo Johnson, 27. Police said a suspect, identified as Angela Johnson’s boyfriend, was taken into custody following the shooting.
The deadly shooting happened in the 800 block of North Parkside Avenue at approximately 10:43 p.m. Witnesses reported hearing gunshots coming from the basement of the residence and called 911.
When Chicago police officers arrived, they found the two victims suffering from gunshot wounds.
Angela Johnson was found in the basement with a gunshot wound to her chest. Police-radio traffic indicated she had been shot on the right side of her chest.
DeAngelo Johnson was found on the first floor with multiple gunshot wounds. Radio traffic indicated that he had suffered two gunshot wounds to his back.
Both victims were initially unresponsive and in critical condition. Emergency personnel performed CPR on DeAngelo Johnson before both victims were transported to Mount Sinai Hospital, where they were pronounced dead.
According to police-radio traffic, one victim was pronounced dead at approximately 11:18 p.m., while the male victim was pronounced dead around 11:21 p.m.
Investigators found extensive evidence inside the residence, including approximately 23 shell casings in a basement bedroom. Additional shell casings were reportedly recovered in other areas of the basement, including the stairway, main room and bedroom.
Officers initially recovered a firearm and shell casings from the basement bedroom. Police later located a second firearm inside the home, bringing the total number of recovered firearms to two.
Authorities have not publicly stated who owned the firearms or confirmed which weapon, if either, was used in the fatal shooting.
Police also reported that DeAngelo Johnson was wearing an empty holster when officers found him on the first floor. That discovery prompted an officer-safety alert as officers searched the residence for the missing firearm.
Chicago police said the shooting appeared to be domestic-related and identified the alleged offender as the mother’s boyfriend.
Radio traffic indicated that a person had been detained by approximately 11:26 p.m. The official police report later confirmed that the known offender was taken into custody.
Two witnesses were reportedly available to identify the alleged offender, and officers conducted a show-up identification procedure near the scene.
Police have not released additional information about potential charges against the suspect.
The investigation into the Chicago Austin neighborhood double shooting remains ongoing. Detectives are continuing to examine the circumstances that led to the shooting, the relationship between the people involved and the role of the two recovered firearms.
The deaths of Angela Johnson and DeAngelo Johnson are being investigated as a double homicide.
