3 Killed in Austin Bar Shooting; FBI Probes Possible Terror Link

Three people were killed and over a dozen injured after a mass shooting took place at a popular bar in Austin, Texas. The shooting took place outside a bar often frequented by University of Texas students. The victims were Ryder Harrington (19), Savitha Shan (21), and Jorge Pederson (30), who were shot by the gunman Ndiaga Diagne from an SUV and then a rifle. The police arrived at the scene within 57 seconds and killed the gunman.


Now the FBI is investigating this incident on the suspicion of a nexus of terrorism connected with the conflict in Iran. The authorities said that at the search of the gunman's home, images of Iranian leaders and flags were  found. The shooting took place the day after the U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran killed the country's Supreme Leader.
