What happened in the Dallas ICE facility shooting and why is it significant?
Live from NPR News, I'm Lakshmi Singh. The FBI is investigating today's shooting at an immigration and customs enforcement facility in Dallas as an act of targeted violence. Authorities say the shooter struck three people, killing one of them before being found dead with a self inflicted gunshot wound.
