The suspect, 53-year-old Ndiaga Diagne, was shot and killed by police. He was wearing clothes with an Iranian flag design, and authorities are investigating the incident as a potential act of terrorism. The attack happened after the U.S. and Israel launched an attack on Iran, but the motive remains unclear. The bar is located near the University of Texas, affecting many students. Diagne, originally from Senegal, legally purchased the weapons used in the attack. The FBI and local police are continuing their investigation.
