The deceased 53-year-old suspect was wearing clothes bearing the phrase, "Property of Allah."
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — The gunman who opened fire outside a Texas bar and killed two people in an attack that wounded 14 others was not on the radar of authorities before the attack, federal and local investigators said Monday.
Both the FBI and police in Austin said Monday that it’s too soon to identify the motive behind the mass shooting early Sunday.
The FBI has said it’s investigating the shooting as a potential act of terrorism, coming after the U.S. and Israel launched an attack on Iran.
“Our ultimate goal in everything we do is to determine the motive,” Alex Doran, the acting agent in charge of the FBI’s San Antonio office, said during a news conference.
Police identified the gunman as 53-year-old Ndiaga Diagne. He was wearing clothes with an Iranian flag design and bearing the words “Property of Allah” during the attack, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press.
