Jahn, who opened fire at a van near the entrance of an ICE field office in Dallas on Wednesday morning, had also conducted multiple searches of the “Charlie Kirk Shot Video” between Sept. 23 and 24, just before the shooting, FBI Director Kash Patel said in an X post Thursday.

Patel said the trove of evidence recovered in the investigation so far “indicates a high degree of pre-attack planning.”

Jahn killed one ICE detainee and critically wounded two others after indiscriminately firing at the facility from the roof of an immigration lawyer’s office near the Dallas facility.

He then took his own life.
