- Ndiaga Diagne, 53, of Pflugerville, Texas, opened fire outside a bar in Austin on March 1, 2026, killing two people and wounding 14 others before being shot and killed by police.
- Authorities said Diagne first fired a pistol from a vehicle at people outside the bar, then exited and continued shooting with a rifle along nearby streets before officers engaged him and stopped the attack.
- Law enforcement sources reported Diagne was wearing a sweatshirt reading “Property of Allah” and a shirt displaying an Iranian flag. Investigators recovered a Quran and related materials from his vehicle and residence.
- The FBI is investigating whether the attack was motivated by terrorism, since the shooting took place just hours after Iran confirmed the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. However, officials have not confirmed a motive. READ MORE
