Two people were killed, in addition to the attacker, and two others were injured in a shootout at a migrant centre in Dallas. This was reported by the local police, correcting earlier information that spoke first of three wounded and then of two wounded, in addition to the attacker who committed suicide.

The attack in Dallas was 'a targeted attack against ICE', the US agency that controls immigration, 'as happened on the 4th of July', also in Texas, the FBI said in a press point explaining that messages against Immigration and Customs Enforcement were found on the bullets used by the attacker.

A man armed with a rifle opened fire from a nearby rooftop on a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Dallas, killing at least two people (allegedly two migrants) and wounding two others before taking his own life, the US Department of Homeland Security reported.

The exact motivation for the attack is not yet known. The FBI stated that the ammunition found at the scene contained anti-ICE messages. The head of the agency, Kash Patel, posted a photo on social media showing a bullet with the words "ANTI-ICE" written on it with what appears to be a felt-tip pen.

Homeland Security spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News that no ICE agents were injured.

The FBI stated that it had launched an investigation into the shooting as a 'targeted act of violence'.

The attack is the latest targeted public murder in the US and comes two weeks after the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk by a armed gunman on a rooftop.

In the US morning today, around 6:40 a.m., officers responded to a call to assist an officer on the North Stemmons Freeway and determined that someone had opened fire at a government building from an adjacent building, Dallas police spokesman Officer Jonathen E. Maner told Ap.

The Dallas Fire Department was also dispatched following a call reporting a shooting at or near the immigration office, said department spokesman Jason L. Evans.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said details were still emerging, but the agency confirmed that there had been 'multiple injuries and deaths' at the branch office. Noem said the motive remains unclear, but noted that there has been an increase in attacks on ICE agents.

On 4 July, another attack at an immigration detention centre in Texas injured a police officer, who was shot in the neck.
