MCKINNEY, Texas, Sept 24 (Reuters) - A gunman who wrote "ANTI-ICE" on an unused bullet killed one detainee and wounded two others on Wednesday when he fired on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office in Dallas from a nearby rooftop before taking his own life, officials said.
FBI Director Kash Patel posted a photo on X of what he said was the suspect's unused ammunition, showing the shell casing of one round inscribed with the phrase "ANTI-ICE" along the side.

"While the investigation is ongoing, an initial review of the evidence shows an ideological motive behind this attack," Patel wrote.
U.S. President Donald Trump quickly politicized the incident on his Truth Social platform, accusing "Radical Left Democrats" of stoking anti-ICE violence by "constantly demonizing Law Enforcement, calling for ICE to be demolished, and comparing ICE Officers to Nazis."
Invoking the assassination of conservative political activist Charlie Kirk two weeks ago, Trump said "Radical Left Terrorists" pose a "grave threat" to law enforcement and "must be stopped."
Trump added he would sign an executive order this week to "dismantle these Domestic Terrorism Networks," though he gave no evidence to support the notion that left-wing political violence posed any more of a threat than violence from the right.
