‘Sniper on roof’ as at least three shot in horror gun attack

This morning’s shooting marked at least the third instance of an Immigration Customs and Border Protection facility being targeted by gunfire in Texas this year.

In August, 36-year-old Bratton Dean Wilkinson approached a facility and claimed to have a bomb in his backpack,” according to the Department of Homeland Security.

In July, a group of people attacked Prairieland Detention Center near Fort Worth, Texas, in an incident that saw an officer shot in the neck. Officals described it as a “co-ordinated attack,” with more than a dozen people later charged by authorities.

Just days later, a man in tactical gear and armed with a rifle was shot dead by police after opening fire on a Border Patrol facility in McAllen, Texas, injuring two officers and a civilian employee.
