Detainee shot in the neck at Dallas ICE office lives in Arlington, brother says
A 32-year-old man who lives in Arlington and is originally from San Luis Potosí, Mexico, is one of three people who were shot Wednesday morning at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement office in Dallas, according to KUVN-DT.
Miguel Ángel García, who was inside a transport van at the ICE office, suffered at least three gunshot wounds, according to the Univision television station’s report that is attributed to a relative.
In an interview, Fernando Gutiérrez said his brother was shot in the side, back, stomach and neck. He underwent two surgeries and is on artificial life support.
“He is in very serious condition in the hospital. He is very ill,” Gutiérrez said, according to KUVN.
García has lived in the United States for about 20 years and works as a painter, his brother said.
A GoFundMe account to raise money for medical expenses notes that García is the sole provider for his family, including his children and pregnant wife.
García was being processed for deportation Wednesday, Gutiérrez said.
Joshua Jahn, armed with a rifle, used a ladder to climb to the rooftop of a building near the ICE office and intended to kill special agents and stir fear among their colleagues, authorities said. In what the region’s chief federal law enforcement official said was a “tragic irony,” Jahn instead wounded García and another detainee who has survived, and shot to death a detainee whose name authorities have not released.
A handwritten note and other evidence that law enforcement authorities said they had recovered from the assailant’s house and his devices offers information on his motivation.
“Hopefully this will give ICE agents real terror, to think, ‘is there a sniper with AP rounds on that roof?” Joshua Jahn wrote using an abbreviation for armor-piercing, according to the FBI.
Jahn, who shot himself to death on the roof of a three-story office building, was not a member of a political group, is believed to have acted without accomplices, and expected to die during the ambush, authorities said.
Jahn, who was 29, recently had been living in Durant, Oklahoma. FBI agents also searched the Collin County home of Jahn’s parents.
Jahn opened fire about 6:30 a.m. Wednesday at the ICE office at 8101 N. Stemmons Freeway near I-35E.
