00:01Three people were killed and 14 others injured, including three critically, after a male gunman opened fire from a vehicle
00:09outside a bar in the city's busy 6th Street district in Austin, Texas, early Sunday.
00:16Austin Police Chief Lisa Davis said the suspect drove past the bar several times before stopping and firing from the
00:22window of his SUV at people on a patio and in front of the bar, then parked, and continued shooting
00:28on foot.
00:29The FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force is assisting the investigation after indicators found on the suspect and in his vehicle
00:37led authorities to explore a possible terrorism link.
00:40Obviously, it's still way too early in the process to determine an exact motivation, but there were indicators on the
00:49subject and in his vehicle that indicate potential nexus to terrorism.
00:54Again, it's still too early to make a determination on that.
00:59Officials identified the suspect as 53-year-old Ndiaga Diagne, a U.S. citizen who first arrived in the country
01:06from Senegal in 2000.
01:08The police shot and killed the gunman, who was carrying both a pistol and a rifle.
01:13Texas Governor Greg Abbott condemned the shooting and directed the Department of Public Safety to boost patrols and law enforcement
01:20presence in the 6th Street area on weekends.
