Ryder Harrington and Savitha Shan were the two people killed in an Austin bar shooting early Sunday, Austin Police Chief Lisa Davis said at a news conference Monday.
The shooting unfolded just outside of a popular beer garden in downtown Austin that also left 14 others injured. The suspect, who was fatally shot by officers, had a history of mental illness, sources familiar with the investigation told NBC News.
Davis and Alex Doran, a special agent with the San Antonio FBI field office, said the suspect was not a previously known threat to either of their offices. Davis said the guns used in the shooting were acquired legally in San Antonio in 2017.
Authorities are still working to determine a motive in the shooting, including whether it was an act of terrorism.
Harrington, 19, was a Texas Tech University student, according to social media posts from his siblings and from a local politician.
