Mosqueda carried a rifle and wore a utility vest during the attack, according to McAllen Police Chief Victor Rodriguez.
Federal agents returned fire, fatally striking the gunman outside of the facility.
Rodriguez said law enforcement also recovered another rifle and more ammunition near the shooter.

The injuries may have been caused by shrapnel, but that has not been confirmed.
All three victims were hospitalized following the ambush.

Investigators have not confirmed whether the phrase “Cordis Die” had any ideological significance or was simply a reference to the game.
According to “Call of Duty” lore, Cordis Die is a revolutionary faction that encourages global unrest and violence against Western powers.
No further information has been released about Mosqueda’s background or any possible ties to extreme groups or ideologies.
Officials have not disclosed the condition of any of the injured law enforcement officers.
