Senator. Have you been

told that

immigrants disease?

Entertained. So I don't

want to go ahead of law

enforcement. Releasing these

details. What they have

said, is that no law

enforcement was injured. And

inference but but I don't

know the details. So, I'm

not going to go in any

more details at this time,

we will come back to you

when we have more details

to share. again. our, our

goal here will be uh,

transparency as those

details become available.

but we are still in the

early stages of an

investigation. information

is still coming in. When

we have more tails, we

will come back to

this group. I'm not going to

be identifying victims

at this time, The only thing

I will confirm at this time

is no law enforcement was

injured. certainly you can

respect law. But what you're

is a live look from near

the scene. As you can see,

the array of officers

out there working this very

active investigation, just

hours after all of this

took place. now, as far

as what we know, this is,

of course out of Dallas,

Texas. 2, details, fatally

shot. at a nice facility

in Dallas. 1 other wounded,

by a sniper on a nearby.

rooftop and that appears to

potentially be the rooftop

as they do have a kind of

blocked off by police tape

and you have folks that are

working the investigation

walking on the roof. Now the

information itself coming

from Dallas Police

and other organizations and

agencies saying that 1

victims pronounced dead on

the scene, 2 other detainees

rushed to a hospital. with

injuries that were deemed

serious. officers. then

confirming another of the

detainees died. So again, 2

detainees dead, 1 of them

wounded being treated at a

hospital, the exact condition

not known just yet. police

said that they were

alerted around 6:40 a.m.

local time this morning to

reports of that shooting

at the ice facility. The

sniper reportedly on a

nearby rooftop when the

person opened fire into a

van carrying those

detainees. striking. the 3
