Fairview resident Joshua Jahn , 29, opened fire with a bolt-action rifle at a Dallas ICE field office around 6:30 a.m. Wednesday, shooting across the length of the building, through windows, and toward law enforcement vans, where he hit three detainees being transferred. One died and two were taken to a nearby hospital, where they are undergoing treatment, acting U.S. Attorney Nancy Larson said at a press conference Thursday.
