Multiple news sources have reported on the shooting incident at a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Dallas on Wednesday, where three men were shot. The victims were identified as Miguel Angel García-Hernandez of Mexico, Jose Andres Bordones-Molina of Venezuela, and Norlan Guzman-Fuentes of El Salvador. The FBI has classified the incident as a “targeted attack” on ICE by 29-year-old Joshua Jahn.
While several outlets, including the New York Times and Univision, have stated that Garcia-Hernandez was among the injured, the federal government has not confirmed this publicly. The New York Times reported that Bordones-Molina was the second injured detainee, while Guzman-Fuentes was fatally shot.
García-Hernandez, who grew up in Arlington and is originally from San Luis Potosí, Mexico, was shot three to four times during the attack, according to his brother. His condition is reported to be very serious and he has already undergone two operations.
A video filmed from inside the building shows detainees running while handcuffed and with legs shackled, some falling to the ground as they attempt to evade the gunfire.
García-Hernandez, an undocumented house painter who has been living in the US for about 20 years, has a mother who was deported about two months ago. His family is seeking legal advice on possible actions after the incident and has started a GoFundMe campaign to cover medical and family expenses.
Bordones-Molina, like García-Hernandez, was also undocumented and had a prior legal record, including a traffic violation and a property-related offense. Guzman-Fuentes, the third shooting victim, had been previously arrested for various offenses, such as battery, improper exhibit of a firearm or dangerous weapon, and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
Authorities stated that the shooter did not intend to harm detainees, as indicated by notes he wrote. After shooting the detainees, Jahn, from Fairview, Texas, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The incident has heightened tensions at the White House, with Donald Trump blaming the shooting on “Radical Left Terrorists” and the Democratic party, although there is no official evidence linking the suspect to any affiliations, party politics, or motives.
