On Sunday, conservative commentator Laura Loomer and columnist Karol Markowicz noted austin shooting suspected to be god diagne. The gunman, a U.S. citizen born in Senegal, shot two people and wounded 14 people just before 2 a.m. local time outside the Buford Backyard Beer Garden on Sixth Street, just a few miles from the University of Texas. Authorities have not released the suspect’s name.
“New news: The suspect in this morning’s mass shooting in Austin is Ndiaga Diagne, a U.S. citizen born in Senegal who lives in Pflugerville, Texas. The shooting is being investigated for ideological motivations. A Quran was found in his car,” Markovich, a columnist for the New York Post and Fox News, posted on the X (formerly Twitter) platform.
The New York Post quoted sources as saying that the gunman may have been motivated by a U.S. attack on Iran. Earlier, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in a US-Israeli attack on Saturday. According to reports, the FBI regarded the incident as a terrorist act.
Austin Police Chief Lisa Davis said the suspect drove by the bar multiple times before parking his SUV and shooting at people outside on the patio and in front of the bar.
“At one point, he turned on his flashers, rolled down his window, and then began using a handgun, shooting out of the window and attacking bar patrons on the patio and in front of the bar,” Davis said.
After parking the vehicle, he got out of the vehicle with a rifle and continued shooting at people walking in the area. Police then shot and killed the gunman.
Alex Dolan, acting special agent in charge of the FBI’s San Antonio field office, said the FBI was investigating whether the shooting was an act of terrorism based on “indications” found in the gunman and his vehicle.
“It’s too early to make a decision,” Dolan said.
It was revealed that the shooter was an American citizen from Senegal
Sources told the New York Post that the suspect had a Quran in his car and was wearing what was described as Islamic clothing. He has a history of arrests and is believed to have lived in New York City from 2000 to 2008.
Nine people were injured in a shooting early Sunday at a nightclub and concert venue in Cincinnati, Ohio, according to police.
Adam Hennie, the city’s interim police chief, said all nine victims suffered gunshot wounds that were not life-threatening.
