at least 2 detainees have been killed, but i do not see much info on how many have been injured.

shooter shot himself when agents began to approach.

neom is already trying to play it as an attack on ICE agents.

edit: more details here including the spin the right is beginning to push that this was an attack on ICE agents. https://www.fox4news.com/news/dallas-ice-shooting

edit2: a stripper of bullets was found, at least one had marking, 'anti ICE'. personal take based off what i am seeing on reddit. this was another far right shooter trying to stir up more rightwing violence. someone thats 'anti ICE' would attack ICE agents not the people they hold hostage. i see too many saying it was the left or it targeted ICE.

edit3: properly my last for this.

shooter has been IDed. he is registered as independent, didnt speak to family about politics or showed any opions in that regard. he was unemployed and planning to move out of state to his parents home. some sources state 1 person had died most state 2. 1 was killed on site, 2 were taken to a hospital where a 2nd passed. no ICE or other personal were injured only detainees. DHS, president and vice president are spreading false information. GOP members have joined in on blaming 'the left'.

speculation, i feel we will see links to goypers or similar rightwing groups. they have been looking to cause problems to push their own goals by inciting violence.
