Austin Police Name Victims Killed in 6th Street Mass Shooting Austin Police have identified two victims who were killed in the Sunday morning mass shooting on West Sixth Street. The incident left three people dead, including the shooter, and 14 others injured. During a Monday afternoon press conference, Austin Police Chief Lisa Davis confirmed that Savitha Shan, 21, and Ryder Harrington, 19, were among those killed. Shan was a student at the University of Texas at Austin, and Harrington had previously attended Texas Tech University. The death total includes the shooter, 53-year-old Ndiaga Diagne. The FBI San Antonio field office and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) are also involved in the investigation. Diagne drove around the area several times before firing a handgun at Buford’s, a bar on West Sixth Street, minutes before 2 a.m. Sunday. He then parked his SUV, exited, and fired a rifle at the bar. Police officers nearby shot and killed Diagne shortly after. Authorities have not yet released a motive for the shooting, but the FBI said it was looking into the case as a possible act of terrorism. Texas Governor Greg Abbott mentioned that the Texas Department of Public Safety is also assisting with the investigation. He emphasized the need to determine if Diagne acted alone or if he had been in contact with others. The investigation aims to better track and identify lone wolves or anyone connected to terrorist organizations to prevent future incidents. Austin Mayor Kirk Watson opened the presser by thanking law enforcement, victim services, medical personnel, and federal agencies for their efforts. He described the shooting as a very traumatic moment for the city.#ryder_harrington #savitha_shan #austin_police #lisas_davis #ndiaga_diagne
