Attack with 2 victims at a bar in Texas, the suspect is being investigated for

At least three people have been killed and 17 others injured after a shooting at a bar in the US.

According to foreign media, the suspected perpetrator of the attack is among the victims.

US authorities have identified the perpetrator of the shooting at a bar in Austin, which killed two people and injured 14 others, as Ndiaga Diagne, 35, a US citizen of Senegalese origin. He was naturalized in 2013 and applied for asylum in 2016, the New York Post reports.

According to information, a Quran was found in the author's car, while a Fox News reporter published a photo on Twitter where Diagne is seen wearing a T-shirt bearing the inscription "Property of Allah."

Authorities are investigating whether the motive for the attack could be related to U.S. strikes against Iran. He has a history of arrests in Texas and is believed to have lived in New York City from 2000 to 2008. San Antonio FBI agent Alex Doran said: “It is too early to determine a specific motive, but there are indicators on his person and vehicle that could be related to terrorism.”

The attack occurred during the closing time of the bar, when the perpetrator's SUV stopped in front of the entrance and he began shooting at customers. He then got out of the car and shot at passersby. Police arrived quickly, exchanged fire and killed the perpetrator. The injured were transported to the hospital, three of whom are in critical condition.
