According to FBI Director Kash Patel, the suspect looked for footage of Charlie Kirk’s murder.
FBI Director Kash Patel said Thursday that the shooter who opened fire at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement office in Dallas, Texas, “searched applications that monitored the whereabouts” of ICE employees and wanted “genuine horror” for agents.
According to those acquainted with the investigation, the gunman who opened fire from a rooftop toward the ICE facility, killing one inmate and wounding two more, was 29-year-old Joshua Jahn. According to officials, the gunman turned the pistol on himself and died.
Patel said on X, “FBI Dallas and FBI HQ have been working 24/7 to take devices, exploit data, and writings discovered on site and on the subject’s person/residence/bedroom.” According to one of the handwritten notes found, “Hopefully this will give ICE officers true anxiety, to wonder, ‘is there a sniper with AP [armor-piercing] bullets on that roof?'”
“He searched ballistics and the ‘Charlie Kirk Shot Video’ many times between September 23 and September 24,” Patel said. “He looked via applications that monitored the presence of ICE personnel between August 19 and August 24.”
A list of DHS facilities was included in the document that the gunman “downloaded,” according to Patel. The document was named “Dallas County Office of Homeland Security & Emergency Management.”
The FBI director said, “Further gathered information to this point shows a significant degree of pre-attack planning.”
Patel said that before to Wednesday’s incident in Dallas, the shooter looked for footage of Charlie Kirk’s murder in Utah.
