Austin Residents React to Bar Shooting

The gunman killed two and wounded 14 at a crowded Austin bar; authorities consider terrorism due to suspect's attire and recent geopolitical tensions, police said.

  • He legally purchased the pistol and rifle used in the attack several years ago in San Antonio.
  • Austin police identified the victims as Savitha Shan, 21, and Ryder Harrington, 19, and said three critically injured remained in critical condition Monday, with one expected to be taken off life support.
  • Investigators are poring over thousands of hours of video and interviewing over 150 witnesses, and authorities expect to release body-camera footage and more details on Thursday.
