What happened at the Dallas ICE facility and how did the shooting unfold?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Ryland Barton. The Department of Homeland Security says a gunman fired on a U.S. immigrations and customs enforcement facility in Dallas earlier today, killing one detainee and injuring two others. Federal authorities are calling the shooting an act of targeted violence. NPR's Sergio Martinez Beltrán is in Dallas now and has the latest on this deadly incident.
I I talked to Mayra, who is a Nicaraguan immigrant, who was inside the building to do her immigration check-in this morning.
Estaba adentro cuando como a las seis y veinte eh comencé a escucharlo detonazos de armas.
She says she was inside the building at around 6 20 a.m. local time when she started hearing gunshots. She says she heard about 20 shots. Now, Maida requested NPR not to use her last name because of her pending immigration case, but she says she froze. She remembers the light blue chairs around her, and the only thing she could think about while the shooting was happening was about her daughter, who was waiting for her outside.
How did an immigrant witness describe the gunshots and her experience during the attack?
Now, eventually, police. arrived and evacuated people inside the building.

Colorado's largest energy provider says it reached a settlement over claims that it sparked a deadly wildfire. C PR's Ishawn Takor has more.
Excel Energy and two telecom companies said Wednesday that they've reached a settlement agreement in lawsuits related to the 2021 Marshall Fire. That fire is the most destructive in Colorado history. It destroyed more than 1,000 homes and burned over 6,000 acres. Excel says it expects to pay around $640 million to plaintiffs, which include hundreds of insurers, municipalities, and residents. The settlement comes as jury selection in a trial was slated to start Thursday. But the agreement's terms are still confidential and it must still be finalized. Attorneys must update the court within 30 days about the status of the settlement. For NPR News, I'm Ishan Takor in Denver.

This is NPR. Syria's president addressed the United Nations today. It was the first time a Syrian head of state has done so in nearly six decades. Ahmad al-Shara rose to power last December when he ousted Bashar Assad after nearly fourteen years of civil war. The last time a Syrian president spoke to the UN was in nineteen sixty-seven. Hundreds of people gathered in Greenland's capital of Nuke today to hear the Danish Prime Minister formally apologize for the United States. For her country's role in a decades long practice of placing invasive contraceptives in Greenlandic women and girls without their consent. Kavitha George has more.
Appearing in Nuke's Downtown Cultural Center, Danish Prime Minister Meta Frederickson apologized on behalf of Denmark for the harm health authorities caused, beginning in the nineteen sixties and continuing into the nineties. The air was heavy with emotion as a few of the women recounted their experiences of being forcibly fitted with intrauterine devices as teenagers. Many women were left permanently sterile as a result of the campaign. Naya Luberth says she hopes the apology sets a precedent and that it's followed by reparations.
