Three people were killed and 14 wounded in what authorities are investigating as a possible act of terrorism in Austin.
A gunman opened fire in Austin, Texas, killing three people and injuring at least 14 others before being taken into custody. Law enforcement officials say early evidence suggests a potential terror motive, though the investigation remains in its initial stages. The FBI is assisting local authorities as part of the Joint Terrorism Task Force response.
According to officials, the suspect is reportedly from Senegal. Investigators said items found in his vehicle — including a Quran and clothing described as Islamic garb — are being examined as part of the probe. FBI Acting Special Agent in Charge Alex Doran stated there are indicators of a “potential nexus to terrorism,” but emphasized it is “way too early” to determine a definitive motive.
