Acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Todd Lyons said he would put all ICE facilities on a higher alert following a shooting at a Dallas field office on Wednesday which killed one detainee and critically wounded two others. While no officers were injured, the Department of Homeland Security said the shooting was "an attack on ICE law enforcement."

The suspected shooter has been identified by law enforcement officials as 29-year-old Joshua Jahn, multiple law enforcement sources told ABC News.

The shooter, who was on a nearby rooftop, "fired indiscriminately at the ICE building, including at a van in the sallyport where the victims were shot," DHS said in a statement.

The shooter died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, officials said.
