A sniper opened fire early Wednesday as immigrants were being led into a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility, killing at least two people and wounding a third, authorities said.
The unidentified gunman fired from a rooftop just before 7 a.m. local time, targeting detainees being escorted into the building, Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News.
There were “three fatalities, potentially detainees,” McLaughlin said, adding that the sniper was later found dead on a nearby roof.
The dead did not include law enforcement, but there are “other injuries, with some in critical condition,” McLaughlin said — calling it “monstrous.”
The shooter opened fire while the detainees were being transferred and the portcullis to the facility was open, Fox News reported, citing authorities.
The shooter is reportedly dead.

Please pray for the victims and their families.”
