Gunman who opened fire on crowded Texas bar was not on FBI radar before attack, authorities say
"Our ultimate goal in everything we do is to determine the motive, Alex Doran, the acting agent in charge of the FBI's San Antonio office, said during a news conference. Police identified the gunman as 53-year-old Ndiaga Diagne. He was wearing clothes with an Iranian flag design and bearing the words Property of Allah during the attack."
"The gunman legally bought the weapons used in the attack several years ago in San Antonio, Davis said. She identified the two victims as 21-year-old Savitha Shan and 19-year-old Ryder Harrington. Harrington was a member of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity at Texas Tech University, his fraternity said in an Instagram post."
"Diagne was originally from Senegal, according to multiple people briefed on the investigation who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss the investigation. He first entered the U.S in 2000 on a B-2 tourist visa and became a lawful permanent resident six years later after marrying a U.S. citizen."
A mass shooting occurred early Sunday outside a crowded bar in Austin, Texas, resulting in two deaths and 14 injuries. The gunman, identified as 53-year-old Ndiaga Diagne, was not previously known to authorities. He wore clothing displaying an Iranian flag and religious text during the attack. The FBI is investigating the incident as a potential act of terrorism following U.S. and Israeli military action against Iran. Diagne legally purchased his weapons years earlier in San Antonio. The two victims were identified as 21-year-old Savitha Shan and 19-year-old Ryder Harrington. Investigators are reviewing thousands of hours of video footage and conducting interviews with over 150 witnesses. Diagne, originally from Senegal, entered the U.S. in 2000 on a tourist visa and became a lawful permanent resident after marrying a U.S. citizen.
