Three people have been shot at an Immigration and US Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility in Dallas, and the shooter has died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, acting ICE Director Todd Lyons said.

“It could be employees, it could be civilians that were visiting the facility, it could be detainees,” Lyons said in an interview with CNN on Wednesday. “At this point, we’re still working through that.”

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said details are still emerging but confirmed there were “multiple injuries and fatalities,” adding that the motive remains unclear. She also noted a recent uptick in attacks targeting ICE agents.
