ICE office in Phoenix struck by gunfire
An office used by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Phoenix, Arizona, was struck by several rounds of gunfire, according to the FBI. No injuries were reported.
The shooting happened Tuesday afternoon at the agency’s Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) building on North Central Avenue, the FBI said Thursday. One or more unidentified people fired several rounds that struck different parts of the building’s exterior.
Footage recorded by local media outlets showed at least three bullet holes in the building’s windows. No information was released about a possible motive.
An anti-ICE protest took place outside the building several hours after the shooting, but officials have not indicated any connection between the two events.
The shooting also came after separate encounters involving ICE officers ended with two people killed in Houston and Maine.
The FBI is asking anyone who witnessed suspicious activity in the area Tuesday afternoon to call 1-800-CALL-FBI.
