Please note the question mark in the headline, because officials are not saying that it definitely is terrorism, but it kind of looks like it:
The Federal Bureau of Investigation says it has discovered evidence at the scene of the mass shooting at a popular Austin nightclub that indicates a potential nexus to terrorism. During a press conference held in Austin early Saturday morning, FBI Acting Special Agent in Charge Alex Doran of the San Antonio FBI office said the evidence was discovered on the shooter and in his vehicle.
As reported by Breitbart Texas, at least three people have been killed and 14 injured after shots rang out at a popular Sixth Street bar in the Texas capital city of Austin early Sunday morning. According to authorities, the shooter was killed by police officers who responded to the location of the shooting within a minute of the first emergency call.
Speaking at the latest press conference, Doran told reporters that the FBI is working with the Austin Police Department to collect and process evidence at the scene, including the agency’s evidence response team and digital forensics specialists. Commenting on the nexus to terrorism, Doran said, “It’s still way too early in the process to determine an exact motivation, but there were indicators that, on the subject and in his vehicle, indicate potential nexus to terrorism.” . . .
The suspect . . . left the scene and travelled farther down Sixth Street, where he was encountered by Austin police officers who engaged the suspect and killed him less than one minute later.
Austin shooting suspect Ndiaga Diagne
Suspect is an African immigrant:
The shooter, who is reportedly a Senegalese male with American citizenship, opened fire on a crowd of patrons with a handgun and an “assault rifle.” He has been identified as Ndiaga Diagne. He was described to be wearing “Islamic garb,” according to the New York Post. It was also suggested that his undershirt may have had an Iranian flag printed on it.
Maybe the guy was just crazy — crazy people are dangerous — but on the other hand, the timing seems perhaps not coincidental.
