US: Shooter Opens Fire At Texas Detention Centre, Leaves 3 Wounded Before Killing Self

<p>Three individuals were shot at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility in Dallas on Wednesday before the gunman turned the weapon on himself, officials confirmed.&nbsp;Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons, speaking to CNN, said the investigation was still underway to establish who exactly had been targeted.</p>
<p>&ldquo;It could be employees, it could be civilians that were visiting the facility, it could be detainees,&rdquo; Lyons explained. &ldquo;At this point, we&rsquo;re still working through that.&rdquo;</p>
<p>U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem stated that the situation remained fluid, with the agency confirming &ldquo;multiple injuries and fatalities.&rdquo; While the motive had not yet been determined, Noem pointed to an increase in attacks against ICE personnel in recent months, as per AP.</p>
<p>Dozens of emergency response vehicles were seen lining a highway adjacent to the detention centre shortly after the incident. ICE and the Department of Homeland Security have not released further details.</p>
