Lawsuit alleges Austin gunman assaulted Tesla employee in December before mass shooting

A Texas civil suit alleges Ndiaga Diagne, the gunman behind an Austin mass shooting, assaulted a 65-year-old Tesla employee at a Tesla facility in December. The suit claims Tesla failed to bar a person with “known aggressive tendencies” from a common area and seeks over $1 million in damages. The victim, Lilian Brady, reported the assault to Tesla and to the Travis County Sheriff’s Office; the FBI interviewed her. Diagne was killed by police after the March attack, and authorities say the related case is closed since the suspect is deceased. Tesla has not commented.
