Police in Washington state say an armed man who was throwing “incendiary devices” at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement migrant detention center early Saturday morning is dead, according to multiple reports.
“Tacoma Police responded to the Northwest Detention Center, a privately run detention facility that holds migrants, at about 4 a.m. on Saturday after an employee called about an armed man outside,” The Daily Beast reported.
Police say the man, whose identity had not been released as of Saturday afternoon, was armed with a rifle. According to The News Tribune, he threw “the incendiary devices at outbuildings and cars in the center’s parking lot. One car caught fire and burned.”
He reportedly tried to blow up a propane tank as well.
Police spokesperson Loretta Cool told The Associated Press that four male officers, none of whom were wearing body cameras, fired shots at the man prior to taking cover, though it wasn’t clear if he fired back.
Eventually, police found the man dead.
The News Tribune reported that police had killed the man, though The Daily Beast noted it was not yet clear whether it was he or one of the officers, all of whom have been placed on paid administrative leave, who fired the fatal shot.
