(Washington) The author of the attack on an American immigration police detention center (ICE) in Texas on Wednesday appears “to have acted alone,” the judicial authorities said on Thursday.
The shooter embusing on the roof of a nearby building opened fire on a center of the Ice in Dallas (south), killing an inmate inside a van and seriously injuring two others, according to the Department of Internal Security.
The shooter, Joshua Jahn, 29, “acted mostly,” the federal prosecutor said at a press conference, explaining to be based on handwritten notes found at his home by the investigators.
“His words were undoubtedly anti-aic. That said, we have not found any evidence of its belonging to a specific movement or entity, and he did not mention any other government agency than Ice, “said the prosecutor.
“It seems that he did not intend to kill prisoners or harm them. It clearly emerges from these notes that he was targeting the agents and staff of Ice, “she said, explaining that he wanted to” terrorize them and hinder their activity “.
The authorities announced on Wednesday, a supporting photo, having discovered ammunition on the scene of the attack on the inscription “Anti-Ice”.
The assailant has probably “prepared the attack for months,” said Joe Rothrock, the FBI office manager, the federal police in Dallas. He legally bought in August the weapon he used, he added.
Shortly after the attack, President Donald Trump quickly accused the “radical left” to encourage “violence”, as he did after the assassination of ultra -conservative influencer Charlie Kirk on September 10.
Donald Trump erected the fight against illegal immigration in absolute priority, evoking an “invasion” of the United States by “criminals from abroad” and communicating abundantly on the expulsions of immigrants, of which the ICE is one of the main instruments.
