Dallas attack on ICE the latest in trend of assailants engraving bullets, weapons with 'messages'

Wednesday’s attack on a Dallas Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility marked the latest in a string of shootings in which the gunmen marked their bullet casings and/or weapons with left-wing political or social messages.

The Wednesday incident saw a sniper open fire on the facility, inflicting fatal injuries on one detainee and injuring several others. He died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound as authorities surrounded him. Authorities subsequently confirmed that the shooter engraved the words “anti-ICE” on unspent rounds of ammunition. FBI Director Kash Patel subsequently posted an image of the recovered rounds.

“While the investigation is ongoing, an initial review of the evidence shows an idealogical [sic] motive behind this attack (see photo below),” Patel wrote. “One of the unspent shell casings recovered was engraved with the phrase ‘ANTI ICE.’ More updates will be forthcoming.”
