A shooting in a downtown Austin, Texas bar has left three dead and 14 wounded early Sunday morning. The shooting began shortly after 2 a.m. outside of Buford’s Backyard Beer Garden after the suspect drove around the block several times in a white SUV.
The suspect for the shooting has been revealed to be Ndiaga Diagne, a naturalized immigrant from Senegal. Diagne arrived in the U.S. in 2000 and was naturalized in 2013.
