A mass shooting in downtown Austin in the early hours of Sunday morning left two people dead and over 10 people wounded, authorities said. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have joined the probe.
First at the scene was the Austin Police, responding to reports of gunfire at Buford's Backyard Beer Garden on West Sixth Street before 2 a.m. Sunday. At a Monday morning conference, Chief Lisa Davis of Austin Police said that prior to firing his handgun, the suspect, who was among the casualties and concurrently identified as Ndiaga Diagne, reportedly drove around the block multiple times before pulling over and turning on his SUV's hazard lights.
