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.

- 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.
