(New York Post) – The fiend behind Sunday’s bloodbath at a packed Austin bar was an ex-New York City resident wearing a “Property of Allah’’ hoodie — and possibly out for vengeance over the US attack on Iran, law-enforcement sources told The Post.
Crazed Texas shooter Ndiaga Diagne, 53, of Senegal arrived in the US in 2000 during the Democratic Clinton administration and became a naturalized US citizen in 2013 around the start of former President Barack Obama’s second term — despite his growing rap sheet spanning New York and Texas.
On Sunday, the killer had a Quran in his car and was possibly also wearing an undershirt featuring the Iranian flag or other Iranian symbols when he opened fire on Buford’s Backyard Beer Garden near the University of Texas-Austin campus, according to sources familiar with the investigation. . .
The attack happened about 2 a.m. — closing time for the popular nightspot — as hundreds of people were leaving to head home.
Diagne’s large SUV was spotted traveling around the block several times before he stopped in front of the bar and began shooting out of his front window with a pistol, hitting patrons on the front patio, according to Austin Police Chief Lisa Davis.
He then parked his car, got out and began shooting at people walking by on the street, the chief said.
Police confronted the shooter within less than a minute of the first gunshot at an intersection on 6th Street and shot him, cops said.
Two victims and the shooter died at the scene. First responders rushed 14 other patients to nearby hospitals, three of whom were in critical condition.
