Austin bar shooting triggers terrorism probe amid Middle East tensions
Two people were killed (including the gunman) and 14 wounded when Ndiaga Diagne opened fire at Buford’s Bar in downtown Austin before being killed by police. The FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force joined local detectives to investigate possible terrorism links, though officials say he appeared to act alone. The attack followed U.S. airstrikes on Iran, prompting heightened security measures nationwide as authorities monitor potential threats tied to the Middle East conflict.
