Authorities are investigating a mass shooting at an Austin bar as a potential act of terrorism. The shooting occurred early Sunday morning at a downtown bar, leaving two dead and 14 wounded. The shooter, Ndiaga Diagne, a Senegalese national and naturalized US citizen, was killed by police. The FBI's joint terrorism taskforce is assisting in the investigation, focusing on Diagne's motives and possible links to organized groups, spurred by items found on the suspect and in his vehicle. Diagne had expressed pro-Iranian sentiment online, and the attack happened hours after US airstrikes in Iran, prompting increased security measures across the US. One of the victims was identified as Ryder Harrington, a Texas Tech University student.
