37-year-old Norlan Guzman-Fuentes killed in Dallas ICE facility shooting
DALLAS, Texas — A deadly shooting unfolded early Wednesday morning at the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Dallas, leaving one detainee dead and two others critically wounded.
The suspect, identified as 29-year-old Joshua Jahn, later died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound after law enforcement closed in.
The incident occurred around 6:40 a.m. at the ICE office located at 8101 North Stemmons Freeway, near Interstate 35E.
According to officials, Jahn positioned himself on the roof of a nearby building and opened fire with a legally purchased 8mm bolt-action rifle, striking a transport van carrying multiple detainees.
The Dallas County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed the identity of the deceased detainee as Norlan Guzman-Fuentes, 37, of El Salvador, ruling his death a homicide.
Two other detainees remain in critical condition:
Miguel Ángel García, a Mexican national, currently on life support.
The Mexican Consulate General in Dallas has contacted García’s family and is providing support.
José Andrés Bordones-Molina, a Venezuelan national, who is hospitalized in critical condition.
ICE confirmed that other detainees in the van were not struck by gunfire. Officials noted that ICE agents and ATF officers ran into active gunfire to extract survivors and move the remaining detainees to safety, an act authorities say “likely saved more lives.”
Investigators say Jahn appeared to be targeting ICE officers and personnel, not detainees. FBI Special Agent in Charge Joe Rothrock revealed that ammunition recovered near the rooftop sniper position contained anti-ICE messages.
Further evidence seized from Jahn’s home included handwritten notes describing his plan of attack. According to Acting U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas Nancy Larson, Jahn wrote that he intended to “maximize lethality against ICE personnel” while attempting to minimize harm to detainees or other bystanders.
Authorities said Jahn conducted weeks of pre-attack research, including:
Downloading a Dallas County Office of Homeland Security document with DHS facility information.
Conducting online searches between Sept. 23–24 for ballistics data and a “Charlie Kirk shot” video.
Using apps in August to track the locations of ICE personnel.
Driving with a ladder attached to his vehicle, believed to have been used to access the rooftop firing position.
Larson described the detainee casualties as “a tragic irony” and called the attack “the very definition of terrorism.”
No ICE officers were injured in the attack. The Dallas Police Department, FBI, ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO), and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) are jointly investigating the incident.
“This suspect was arrested in possession of a loaded weapon in a vehicle provided by Des Moines Public Schools after fleeing federal law enforcement,” said Sam Olson, ICE ERO St. Paul Field Office Director, noting that Jahn’s writings showed a clear intent to instill fear among ICE personnel.
Friends from Jahn’s childhood described him as quiet, more interested in video games than politics.
One former classmate told, “Josh was the least political person I knew in high school. When people started talking about politics, he’d say, ‘guys, shut up, can we just play Halo?’”
Jahn attended Allen Independent School District from kindergarten through 12th grade and briefly studied at UT Dallas, according to school officials.
The Clark County Sheriff’s Office, FBI Dallas Field Office, and federal partners continue to investigate Jahn’s background, his access to firearms, and whether others may have been involved. At this time, officials believe he acted alone.
Authorities emphasize that while Jahn’s writings suggested he did not intend to kill detainees, his actions directly caused one death and left two critically injured.
“This case is a sobering reminder of the threats our federal law enforcement officers face every day,” Larson said. “While this shooter intended to terrorize ICE, his actions instead brought tragic harm to the very individuals he claimed he did not want to hurt.”
MT. JULIET, Tenn. — Authorities have identified two victims killed during an active shooter incident at Cedar Creek Marina in Mt. Juliet late Friday night.
The suspect, identified as Gary Haley, a convicted felon with an extensive criminal history, is deceased following an officer-involved shooting, officials confirmed.
Mount Juliet Police officers were dispatched at approximately 9:30 p.m. Friday to the Cedar Creek Marina, located in the 9000 block of Saundersville Road, after receiving reports of a man threatening another individual on the docks.
Due to the active shooter report, a shelter-in-place order was issued for the surrounding area as a precaution.
Upon arrival, officers located an adult male suffering from a gunshot wound.
The victim was later identified as Robby Brogdon, who was transported to a local hospital for emergency medical treatment.
Despite life-saving efforts, Brogdon later succumbed to his injuries.
Investigators determined that the suspected shooter had retreated to a boat within the marina and had barricaded himself inside.
The standoff continued for several hours as officers secured the scene and attempted to resolve the situation safely.
At approximately 1:00 a.m. Saturday, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) reported that the suspect engaged responding officers and fired shots at them under circumstances that remain under investigation. Officers returned fire.
The suspect, Gary Haley, was later found deceased aboard the vessel.
During the course of the response, officers also discovered a second adult male victim, Nathan Jones, who had been shot by the suspect.
Jones was pronounced dead at the scene.
No law enforcement officers were injured during the incident.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has assumed responsibility for the investigation, which includes a homicide, an attempted homicide, and an officer-involved shooting.
TBI agents are actively conducting interviews, collecting evidence, and working to establish a comprehensive timeline of events.
Upon completion of the investigation, findings will be submitted to 15th Judicial District Attorney General Jason Lawson for review.
Authorities stated that additional information will be released as it becomes available.
