Police Release 'Difficult to See' Video Footage of Austin Bar Shooting

Nineteen people were shot and three killed in the mass shooting outside a busy Austin bar; the FBI is investigating a possible terrorism link involving the gunman.

  • On Wednesday evening, the Austin community gathered at the UT Tower for a candlelight vigil organized by UT student government to honor those killed and injured on West Sixth Street.
  • The mass shooting early Sunday on West Sixth Street left three dead and 19 wounded, prompting investigators to explore potential links to strikes on Iran by the US and Israel.
  • Video showed the suspect walking with what Austin Police Chief Lisa Davis called an AR-15; federal agents searched addresses tied to Ndiaga Diagne, who was fatally shot.
  • The Travis County district attorney said Wednesday his office will not seek charges against the three officers who opened fire; body-worn camera footage will be released at Thursday's noon press conference, and two people remain hospitalized with one critical.
  • Hays County Assistant District Attorney Greg Cox said civil findings did not trigger firearm restrictions under Texas law, despite Bexar County court documents showing Diagne had a pattern of family violence but no criminal conviction barred his gun ownership.
