According to the report, a gunman wearing a 'Property of Allah' shirt who opened fire on a Texas bar may have been an Islamic terrorist motivated by the US strikes on Iran, police have said.

The report stated that two people were shot dead and 14 more were wounded at a packed bar in Austin during the early hours of Sunday, before officers killed the attacker in return fire. The report said that the suspect has been identified by the New York Post as Ndiaga Diagne, 53, an ex-New York City resident originally from Senegal.

FBI officials told a press conference that the gunman had materials that were indications of a potential nexus to terrorism. He was found to have a Quran in his car, wore 'Islamic' clothing when he opened fire on the bar, and may have been motivated by US strikes in Iran, according to the Post.

Fox News reporter Bill Melugin said police found the shooter was wearing a shirt reading 'Property of Allah', and was possibly wearing an undershirt or T-shirt that had an Iranian flag or Iranian representations on it.

In addition to the report, the suspect also has a history of arrests in Texas and is believed to have lived in New York City from 2000 to 2008. The horror unfolded at Buford's bar on West Sixth Street in Austin's Entertainment District just before 2 am on Sunday, according to officials.

Religious extremism is a cancer that kills not only innocent people, but also those who embrace it.
Hoping this man will be put to justice.

That fanatic didn't think about his actions as lawful or not. He should not have done wrong to live in peace and happiness with his family and friends.

Worrying that we have many of such religiously indoctrinated extremist fanatics. Hoping the courts wont be lenient to such, as they have done in the past.
