The Dallas shooter, according to authorities wanted to "terrorize" ICE officers not just in Dallas, but around the country. The U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Texas made clear on Thursday that the shooter "hoped to minimize any collateral damage or injury to the detainees and any other innocent people. It seems that he did not intend to kill the detainees or harm them. It's clear from these notes that he was targeting ICE agents and ice personnel." Authorities say the suspect's writings showed he had an anti-ICE bias.
