Chaos erupted on Austin's Sixth Street early Sunday when gunfire tore through Buford's Backyard Beer Garden just before 2 a.m., leaving three people dead and 14 wounded. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is exploring whether the attack may be linked to terrorism, officials confirmed.
In earlier reports, the shooter was identified as 53-year-old Ndiaga Diagne, a native of Senegal who was granted US citizenship in 2013. He sustained a fatal gunshot injury during the onslaught at the shooting scene. The FBI is now looking into the rampage as a potential terrorist act, according to a report by Austin-American Statesman.
