At least three people were injured on Wednesday morning in Dallas when a sniper opened fire on an ICE facility, leaving law enforcement scrambling. Police immediately began searching the rooftops, where they found a shooter with what appears to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Three people were critically wounded at a Dallas ICE facility Wednesday morning and one shooter is dead, police sources tell WFAA.       

Police responded to a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement office shortly before 7 a.m. Wednesday at 8101 North Stemmons Freeway in Dallas, off Interstate 35E. Sources told WFAA that police were searching for a possible sniper or multiple shooters.

Because it's so early on, it's hard to tell whether there's a legitimate reason to believe there were multiple shooters or if this is all just due diligence. Given that it appears the sniper committed suicide, it's likely just law enforcement covering all the bases, but we'll have to wait for more information to be sure. 

Notably, this comes after the mainstream press pushed yet another hoax involving ICE agents. 

As RedState reported, NBC News claimed on Tuesday that immigration officials used a 5-year-old girl as "bait" during a raid. That turned out to be completely false, with the girl being abandoned in a car by a fleeing illegal immigrant who had prior arrests for domestic violence and strangulation. The ICE agents were simply caring for her until the situation was resolved.

Still, Rep. Ilhan Omar and others immediately rushed to attack ICE. 

This is a developing story. 

UPDATE:

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has released a statement confirming the gunman committed suicide. Unfortunately, she also confirmed there are fatalities among the victims of the shooting.
