Authorities have identified the gunman in the fatal Austin, Texas, mass shooting as Ndiaga Diagne, a native of Senegal who secured U.S. citizenship.The New York Post reported that authorities had discovered a Quran in his vehicle. The FBI previously indicated in a press conference that it had found evidence of a possible “nexus to terrorism.”
The Sunday morning shooting saw 3 dead and 14 wounded. Authorities responded within 57 seconds of receiving the emergency call and killed the shooter on scene.
Though no direct link to any foreign power has been identified, the shooting comes amid ongoing strikes on Iran that have led to retaliatory strikes across the region.
Conservatives railed at the revelations of the shooter’s foreign birth. The Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh, for instance, said “Get the foreign invaders out of our country. This should be the first, second, and third priority. Get them out.”
