Austin Residents React to Bar Shooting

The gunman killed two and wounded 14 at a crowded Austin bar; authorities consider terrorism due to suspect's attire and recent geopolitical tensions, police said.

  • The Austin Police Department said a gunman opened fire at Buford's on Sixth Street, injuring 14 and killing two, before officers shot the suspect on Saturday, March 1, 2026.
  • Amid international tensions, authorities say it is too soon to determine a motive and are investigating if the suspect's clothing with `Property of Allah` suggests ideological links, after a reported U.S.-Israel attack on Iran.
  • Witnesses said the suspect drove past Buford's, fired first shots from his SUV, parked, then continued shooting with a rifle while the attack briefly stopped and patrons filmed.
  • Police taped off several blocks after the shooting, and federal investigators joined the scene, a law enforcement official said.
  • Austin police identified Ndiaga Diagne, 53-year-old suspect from Senegal, with authorities expected to release more details and footage soon.
