Sources familiar with the investigation also said Diagne had a history of mental health issues.<\/p>\n<p>Officials have said they\u2019ve been probing a potential terrorism nexus. A law enforcement source briefed on the matter said the gunman appears to have been fueled at least in part by the <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/live-updates\/iran-us-war-day-3-american-deaths-israel-gulf-allies-hit-missile-strikes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">U.S. attack on Iran<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Sources said the gunman appears to have acted alone but that investigators are scrutinizing his digital footprint and his contacts to see he if was connected to anyone in the United States or overseas who may have influenced him to act.<\/p>\n<p>Officials executed a search warrant at the gunman\u2019s home on Sunday and found an Iranian flag and pictures of Iranian leaders, according to an official with direct knowledge of the investigation. Sources told CBS News that a Quran was found in the gunman\u2019s vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>The shooting happened a little after 1:30 a.m local time on Sunday at Buford\u2019s, a bar in Austin\u2019s Sixth Street entertainment district.<\/p>\n<p>Sources told CBS News that the gunman was driving around in an SUV circling the block when he began shooting from the vehicle\u2019s open window at people seated outdoors. He then exited the SUV and continued shooting as he walked up the street.<\/p>\n<p>He was shot and killed by responding police officers. Multiple weapons were found in the SUV, sources said.<\/p>\n<p>A video obtained by CBS News shows law enforcement officers with weapons running westbound away from Buford\u2019s as people in the street run and take cover. Austin Police <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reels\/DVWdDsDgRNG\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">said<\/a> the suspect had also moved westbound down the block after shooting at patrons at the bar, before then walking eastbound.<\/p>\n<p>The footage was filmed by Nathan Comeaux, who witnessed police officers exchange fire with the gunman down the block. Comeaux said he saw the gunman fire at police before officers returned fire.<\/p>\n<p>        <script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"AUSTIN, Tx. &#8211; CBS News has obtained a photo showing the Austin gunman wearing a shirt emblazoned with&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":188256,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[132,134,133],"class_list":{"0":"post-188255","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-austin","8":"tag-austin","9":"tag-austin-headlines","10":"tag-austin-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/188255","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=188255"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/188255\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/188256"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=188255"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=188255"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=188255"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
