Overview
- The FBI Phoenix field office is investigating after one or more people fired several rounds that struck the exterior of an ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations building, authorities said.
- The incident occurred on Tuesday, July 14, and officials reported no injuries and no publicly announced arrests as the probe continues.
- Investigators are urging anyone who witnessed suspicious activity in the North Central Avenue area to call the FBI tip line or submit an online tip.
- A protest took place outside the same ICE office later that day, and officials said there is no indication the demonstration and the shooting are connected.
