The gunman in the Austin, Texas shooting on March 1 has been identified as 53-year-old Ndiaga Diagne, a naturalized U.S. citizen originally from Senegal. Diagne, who had images of Iranian leaders and an Iranian flag in his apartment, opened fire from his car outside Buford’s Backyard Beer Garden, killing three people and injuring 14 others before being shot by police. Investigators are exploring a potential link to terrorism, as evidence found in Diagne’s vehicle raises concerns about his motives.
