Vice President J.D. Vance has confirmed rumors that Wednesday’s deadly attack on an ICE facility in Dallas, Texas, was carried out by a “left-wing extremist.”
The 29-year-old suspect, Joshua Jahn, is said to have fired indiscriminately at the ICE facility, Breitbart reported.
The attack resulted in the killing of one detainee and the injury of two before he turned the gun on himself.
No law enforcement officials were harmed in the attack.
