What to know: The gunman, whom officials described as a “sniper,” opened fire “indiscriminately” from an adjacent building. Officials said shell casings found at the scene had “anti-ICE messages” on them. The three victims were detainees, and no law enforcement officers were injured. [Yahoo News]

Political reaction: Politicians and commentators on both sides of the aisle rushed to attribute blame for the shooting, with those on the left condemning gun violence and anti-migrant sentiment while those on the right decried it as an attack on law enforcement. Read what they said. [The Hill]
