Texas bar shooting leaves 3 dead and 14 wounded as FBI investigates terrorism possibility
Authorities are investigating possible terrorism links after a gunman killed three and wounded 14 outside a popular Austin bar, with swift police and EMS response credited for saving lives.
- On March 2, 2026, the Austin Police Department identified Ryder Harrington, a 19-year-old Texas Tech University student, as a victim of the shooting.
- On Sunday, outside Buford's Backyard Beer Garden on Sixth Street, the shooting erupted around 1:40 a.m., leaving two dead and 14 wounded.
- Investigators described a drive-by from an SUV, followed by the suspect parking and shooting on the bar's sidewalk with a rifle, before police returned fire and killed him.
- Beta Theta Pi announced a candlelight vigil Monday at 8 p.m. and a GoFundMe campaign for Harrington's family, with condolences from Texas House Speaker Dustin Burrows.
- The FBI and Department of Homeland Security said indicators on the suspect and in his vehicle prompted a probe, but officials said it's too early to determine motive, and authorities identified the suspect as 53-year-old Ndiaga Diagne, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Senegal.
