A man who was allegedly armed with a rifle and throwing molotov cocktails at an ICE detention center in Tacoma, Washington was killed by responding police officers on Saturday, police said.

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, authorities told the The Daily Beast.

The Washington state man, who has not been publicly identified, was armed with a rifle and throwing incendiary devices at the building and nearby cars, setting one on fire. The incident comes one day before ICE agents are expected to carry out mass raids around the country in an effort to round up undocumented migrants.

According to The News Tribune, the man was throwing molotov cocktailshandmade bottles filled with flammable liquid.

The male attempted to ignite a large propane tank and set out buildings on fire, a statement released by the Tacoma police department said. The male continued throwing lit objects at the buildings and cars.

Four officers arrived at the scene and called to the man, who was also wearing satchel and carrying flares, before reporting shots fired, police said. It is not immediately clear if the police or the man shot first or who fired the fatal shot. After medical aid arrived, the officers approached the man, who appeared to still have his weapon near him and determined that he had been shot and killed at the scene.

The four male officers involvednone of whom were injuredwere placed on paid administrative leave, which is standard practice, until the investigation is complete, Tacoma police said. An ICE spokesperson also confirmed the shooting to The Daily Beast and said no employees were hurt.

The Northwest Detention Center, which is a U.S. Department of Homeland Security facility for migrants pending deportation proceedings, has held immigration-seeking parents separated from their children under Trump's "zero tolerance" policy.

A police spokesperson told The Daily Beast there was a planned peaceful rally outside the detention center that houses over 1,500 detainees on Saturday afternoon, which will now be held in another location due to the ongoing investigation.The shooting comes the day before President Donald Trumps ordered national raid by ICE, targeting hundreds of immigrants who have received deportation orders.

It is not immediately clear whether the incident about an hour outside of Seattle is connected to the Sunday raides.

His manifesto kicks ass, but this pretty much confirms that he went in with the intention and understanding that he was going to be killed:

The thing about fire is that it doesn't really do "targeting"

Lot of praise for a violent domestic terrorist in here that is going to go unmodded.

They hanged John Brown, too.

What if the plot twist was that he was a far right guy trying to hurt the immigrants inside?

We have his manifesto.

Unless you think it's a false flag.

To me, that doesn't matter. Regardless of "side" (which needs to go away), his actions were wrong, and will not serve any purpose except to add fuel to the fire (not meant to be a pun).

I'm considered liberal. I'm not going to go start fires or wear a mask or protest or howl into the wind.

I'm going to (and have for two decades) give money to charity, volunteer in my community, feed the hungry, clothe the needy, comfort the sick, and try to be kind to others whenever possible.

No anger, no hatred, no hostility, no judgement. Love understanding, and healing is what we need, and that's what I'll give, until my last breath.

These words will probably change nothing. The world will continue on, just as it is. My actions will help only a few, but it must be done. I will die in obscurity, but I will do so knowing that I did the right thing, even if I stood alone.
