AUSTIN, Texas \u2013 Austin police are expected to give an update and release video on the deadly mass shooting on Sixth Street that happened last weekend. <\/p>\n

The press conference is scheduled for noon Thursday at Austin Police Headquarters. It will be livestreamed in this article, on KSAT.com<\/a> and on KSAT Plus. Delays are possible; if there\u2019s not a livestream available, check back later.<\/p>\n

Three people were killed<\/a> and more than a dozen others were injured after the gunman drove past Buford\u2019s Backyard Beer Garden, circled back and fired the first shots from his SUV.<\/p>\n

The gunman, identified as 53-year-old Ndiaga Diagne, then exited with a rifle and continued shooting before officers fatally shot him, police previously said.<\/p>\n

The victims have been identified as 21-year-old Savitha Shan, 19-year-old Ryder Harrington and 30-year-old Jorge Pederson.<\/p>\n

Investigators told reporters that Diagne legally bought the pistol and rifle he used in the attack several years ago in San Antonio and was not on the FBI\u2019s radar.<\/p>\n

Both the FBI and Austin police said Monday that it\u2019s too soon to identify the motive, but they are investigating whether the attack may have been an act of terrorism.<\/p>\n
