Investigators found a bizarre map attached to a car which they believe belonged to 29-year-old Joshua Jahn who killed himself after randomly firing at the ICE centre in Dallas. The map stuck to Joshua's blue Toyota Corolla read "Radioactive fallout from nuclear detonations have passed over these areas more than 2x since 1951." The map under the title looked like the one created by researcher Richard Miller, reports claimed, showing reas of the US over which two or more radioactive clouds have crossed, resulting from nuclear testing in Nevada between 1951-1962.
Investigators do not know whether there is any link between the map and the shooter's motive.
The Department of Homeland Security confirmed that Joshua opened fire indiscriminately at the ICE building from a nearby roof. One witness said she heard like 20 shots in a row as she was in her car. There was no specific target and the shooter was not a trained one but the FBI confirmed that ICE officials were the target, as one bullet had 'Anti-ICE' written on it. No ICE official was, however, injured and those who were killed by the random firing were detainees.
Where did Joshua get the gun from?
The photo of the bullets posted by FBI director Kash Patel triggered speculation on whether Joshua used a 903 Springfield in .30-06 or an 8mm Mauser rifle.
Joshua's brother Noah told NBC News that their parents owned a rifle and Joshua knew how to use it but he was not a marksman. Noah said his brother was not interested in politics on either side. Joshua was unemployed for the time being, though he had done coding work. Joshua was planning to move to their parents' property in Oklahoma, Noah said. Noah said he last saw his brother two weeks ago at his parent’s house, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
