A gunman identified as Ndiaga Diagne, 53, opened fire outside a crowded bar in Austin early Sunday morning, killing three people and injuring 14 others before being shot dead by police. Authorities said he wore a shirt reading “Property of Allah” and was found with a Quran in his car. Federal Bureau of Investigation officials stated there were indications of a possible connection to terrorism, and investigators are examining whether the attack was motivated by recent U.S. strikes on Iran.
The shooting happened just before 2 a.m. on West Sixth Street, with police confirming the suspect fired from outside the bar using a handgun and rifle. Several victims remain in critical condition. Donald Trump was briefed on the incident, according to the White House, as tensions remain high following military actions in the Middle East. Authorities continue to investigate the suspect’s background and potential motives.
