Insane news to wake up to. Glad the police and paramedics were able to respond as quickly as they did.

Terrible news early in the day. Prayers for all involved.

Happened at Bufords a popular place UT athletes frequent as well. Remember the  Nic Brooks deal talking about Bufords letting UT athletes in underage the night he got pulled over last year. Terrible and hope and pray for all 🙏

this will need to be verified, but there's chatter and some pictures indicating that this was a lone wolf retaliating for the strikes on iran.

 

edit:  keep your head on a swivel.  we are living in interesting times.

In the heart of Texas, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Senegal—Ndiaga Diagne—unleashed hell on innocent patrons at Buford’s Backyard Beer Garden, killing two (with reports of up to three dead) and wounding 14 in a brazen early-morning rampage. Police took him down fast, but not before the blood flowed.

The evidence screams jihadist motive:
 • Diagne wore a sweatshirt boldly declaring “PROPERTY OF ALLAH.”
 • Sources confirm an Iranian flag (or symbols) on his undershirt—clear nod to the mullahs’ regime.
 • A Quran sat in his vehicle.
 • The FBI is probing it as potential terrorism, with possible ties to recent U.S. strikes on Iran.

This 53-year-old Pflugerville resident, originally from West Africa, became a citizen yet allegedly turned on the country that gave him refuge. He cased the bar in his SUV, then opened fire on crowds spilling out at closing time.

Damn. Senegalese people are some of the most welcoming and friendly you will find on the planet too.
