Dallas law enforcement officials said four people were shot and two people killed, including the shooter, at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office there on Wednesday morning.
Despite multiple reports citing police sources saying that detainees were among those shot, officials declined to provide much information about the victims. They acknowledged that the shooter died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound and added that no law enforcement officer was injured. But they would not confirm the reports about detainees being among those shot.
“I hope that every one of us will pray, number one, for the safety of law enforcement that are risking their lives to keep us safe; number two, for the health of those who were shot and injured today,” Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas told reporters at a Dallas Police Department news conference on Wednesday. “We still don’t know the full details of who was injured, but for the families also of the victims of this shooting.”
