Cowboys WR Worried After Brother Caught in Dallas ICE Shooting, At Least 2 Detainees Injured

A tragic shooting unfolded Wednesday morning at a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Dallas, leaving multiple people shot and at least one dead, according to law enforcement officials familiar with the situation.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem confirmed that the suspect died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. “Details are still emerging but we can confirm there were multiple injuries and fatalities,” Noem posted on X, adding that the motive behind the attack remains unknown.

Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons told CNN that three people were shot and taken to a hospital, though their identities have not been released. “Preliminary information is a possible sniper,” Lyons said. “We have three individuals that are down at this time. We’re not sure on their condition. They’ve been taken to the hospital.”

The facility houses ICE employees, civilians, and immigrant detainees.

This marks at least the third shooting incident targeting an ICE or Customs and Border Protection facility in Texas this year. On July 4, a coordinated assault at the Prairieland Detention Center near Fort Worth left a police officer shot in the neck. Days later, a 27-year-old man opened fire on a Border Patrol facility in McAllen before being killed by police.

Amid the chaos, Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver Ryan Flournoy revealed his deep concern for his older brother, who works at the ICE facility in Dallas. According to sources close to the player, Flournoy has not been able to contact his brother since the incident. “He’s shaken and desperate for updates,” one team insider said. The Cowboys organization has offered support as Flournoy anxiously awaits word from his family.

The story is still developing, with federal and local authorities working to determine the shooter’s motive and provide updates on the victims’ conditions.

 Cowboys Starter Learns of Family Tragedy After Win Over Jets as Military-Trained Skydiving Instructor Dies in Nashville
Dallas Cowboys offensive lineman Cooper Beebe is mourning a devastating family loss just hours after celebrating the team’s Week 5 victory over the New York Jets. His cousin, Justin Fuller, a respected military-trained skydiving instructor, died in a tragic tandem jump accident near Nashville. Fuller, 35, was killed after becoming separated from his parachute harness mid-air during a jump coordinated by   Go Skydive Nashville. His student survived after landing in a tree with the parachute deployed and was rescued by firefighters. Police confirmed Fuller’s body was recovered from a wooded clearing off Ashland City Highway. The Nashville Fire Department praised its crews for executing “one of the most complex high-angle rescues in years.” Fuller was a veteran of over 5,000 jumps and had trained U.S. military personnel   in advanced aerial operations. Known by his nickname “Spidey,” he was admired for his precision, composure, and passion for mentoring young skydivers.   Beebe, whose mother is the younger sister of Fuller’s mother, grew up close to his cousin. Family members say Fuller’s discipline and dedication left a lasting mark on Beebe’s mindset both on and off the field. A relative told local reporters, “Justin taught Cooper that true toughness isn’t about strength — it’s about purpose, duty, and protecting those beside you. That’s how he played his life, and that’s how Cooper plays the game.”     Beebe, a rookie starter at guard and center, has quickly become a cornerstone of the Cowboys’ offensive line — praised for his power, technique, and maturity beyond his years. His performance against the Jets was another showcase of quiet consistency and leadership.   The Cowboys organization is aware of Beebe’s loss and has offered private support while the team shifts its focus toward Week 6 preparations. Players and coaches have reportedly rallied around the young lineman during this difficult time. The FAA is investigating the accident, while tributes to Fuller — under the nickname “Spidey” — have flooded social media from military peers, skydivers, and fans across the country. “He taught others to fly — now he’s flying higher than all of us,”   one tribute read.
