The harrowing incident at an Austin, Texas bar, which may have been a terrorist attack, has unveiled disturbing details about the shooter. The assailant, identified as Ndiaga Diagne, a 53-year-old Senegalese national, was found to have an Iranian flag and pictures of leaders from the Islamic Republic in his residence, as reported.

Diagne’s violent outburst at Buford’s Backyard Beer Garden on a Sunday night resulted in two fatalities and 14 injuries. Witnesses recount that he arrived at the scene wearing a shirt emblazoned with “Property of Allah” before opening fire. Authorities suggest his actions could have been influenced by recent joint military actions by Israel and the United States.

In the aftermath of the tragedy, Austin police officers neutralized Diagne. A subsequent search of his home revealed symbols of potential ideological motivations—an Iranian flag and images of Iranian leaders, according to sources familiar with the investigation, as reported by CBS News.

Further probing into Diagne’s possessions uncovered a Quran in his vehicle and an undershirt adorned with the Iranian flag or similar symbols, as previously disclosed by The Post. FBI Special Agent Alex Doran emphasized that investigators are actively working to establish the shooter’s precise motive, noting there are “indicators” that suggest a possible link to terrorism.

Police confronted Diagne within less than a minute of the first gunshot and took him down at an intersection on 6th Street.

Two victims and the shooter died at the scene. First responders rushed 14 other patients to nearby hospitals, three of whom were last reported in critical condition.

Diagne, a former New York City resident, arrived in the US on March 13, 2000 on a tourist visa during the Clinton administration and became a lawful permanent resident when he married a US citizen in June 2006.

He then became a naturalized US citizen on April 5, 2013 around the start of former President Barack Obama’s second term, despite several arrests.

He was known to authorities as an emotionally disturbed person in both New York and Texas before Sunday’s bloody rampage, sources said.
