FBI probe finds Austin bar shooter was ‘lone actor’ in deadly March attack that killed 3
The FBI said no evidence shows Ndiaga Diagne acted for a foreign terrorist group, and the investigation found no conclusive motive.
- On Thursday, FBI investigators announced that Ndiaga Diagne, who killed three people and wounded 15 in a March shooting in Austin, Texas, was a "lone actor" with no ties to foreign terrorist groups.
- Investigators stated Diagne was likely triggered by the war against Iran, "culminating in a violent, impulsive attack," despite lacking direct evidence of a specific motive for selecting that location.
- At the time of the attack, Diagne wore clothes featuring an Iranian flag design and a sweatshirt reading "Property of Allah," details the FBI noted as indicators of his ideological alignment.
- Diagne opened fire outside Buford's Backyard Beer Garden before Austin Police Chief Lisa Davis said officers killed him within 56 seconds of the first emergency call.
- The FBI noted that Diagne had never been the subject of an investigation prior to the shooting, while the agency said its probe into the March attack remains open.
