"An FBI official, Alex Doran, told reporters at a press conference that it was too early to determine the shooter's motivation. But he added that evidence found on the suspect and in his car indicated a potential nexus to terrorism."
"The city's police chief, Lisa Davis, described the violence as a tragic, tragic incident, with the first calls about it being made to emergency services from Buford's bar in West Sixth Street at 1.59am. Davis said the attacker drove a large sport-utility vehicle, circled the block several times and then fired a pistol from the car."
"Law enforcement sources told the news channel that in addition to investigating potential terrorist motivations, investigators are also looking at the suspect's previous history of mental health issues."
A deadly mass shooting occurred outside a bar in downtown Austin, Texas on Sunday morning, resulting in two deaths and 14 injuries. The suspect, identified as Ndiaga Diagne, a naturalized American citizen from Senegal, was fatally shot by police who responded within 57 seconds. The shooter drove an SUV, circled the block multiple times, fired from the vehicle, then exited with a rifle to continue shooting. Evidence found on the suspect and in his vehicle suggests a potential nexus to terrorism, prompting FBI joint terrorism taskforce involvement. However, investigators are also examining the suspect's history of mental health issues as part of their investigation into motivation.
