Police in Washington state say an armed man was shot and killed early Saturday after trying to attack a local Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention center.
The Seattle Times reported that the unidentified man appeared outside of the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma with a rifle and threw incendiary devices at both the facility and nearby propane tanks, at one point setting a vehicle on fire.
Officers responded to the incident around 4 a.m. and called out to the man before shots were fired. It was not clear how many shots were fired or whether the man fired at police.
Police spokesman Loretta Cool said the officers weren't wearing body cameras, but the area is covered by surveillance cameras from the detention center. The four officers involved were placed on administrative leave in accordance with the department's policy. None of them were injured.
ICE said in a statement that no employees "were harmed nor involved in this tragic incident."
The shooting took place hours after a rally in front of the detention center to protest planned mass deportation raids around the country . The Tacoma facility, which is run by the Department of Homeland Security, holds migrants pending deportation proceedings. The detention center has also held immigration-seeking parents separated from their children under President Donald Trump's "zero tolerance" policy, an effort meant to deter illegal immigration.

Moral of the story....
Don't do stupid shit...
Lucky this terrorist didn't kill anyone but himself.
Suicide by police.
It’s time to check out the news to see how many illegal invaders violating court orders to go home were netted today.
I never shed a tear for those who try to make a point by using violence to make it.
One of the few things we agree completely about.
Did he have a "Mexican Flag" in his pocket ?
We all know how well "Santa Anna" did. You'd a thought this "Clown" woulda learned some History before proceeding !
