Authorities identified 33-year-old Saul Villa as the assailant; four victims died at the scene and a fifth died later at a local hospital.

No idea if this is accurate- but saw it posted minutes ago.

Think that's a different shooting and bogus info after attempt to verify.

---

Yea not him. No mention of assailant in local Austin

BREAKING: An FBI official confirmed in a news conference that the shooter in Austin’s mass shooting had materials that “were indications of a potential nexus to terrorism.”

Video of the aftermath. Injured and possibly dead people.
Expand above to view. GRAPHIC WARNING.

---

Difficult to unpack what we see in that video. 2-3 seemingly injured people laying around for a few minutes but they do seem to be able to get up eventually? Maybe not actually shot at that point but the aftermath of a fight? Then the cops roll up and then the real shooting starts?

That wasn't really true last weekend. Mexico is a narco state.

Had this discussion last night. The difference is that you generally know where to avoid at home. You don't know where to avoid cartel violence.

---

been to Mexico and Latin America numerous times dont' buy drugs or get involved in vice activities you will be fine. hth

---

People cancelling vacations to Mexico aren't vacationing in our urban crime areas. This is such a dumb apples to oranges argument to compare US inner city crime hell holes to vacation destinations in tourist beach areas.

He said paramedics got the call at 1:59 a.m. and first responders were on-scene in less than a minute.

Need to narrow it down from:
Lady man terrorism
Cartel terrorism
Muslim terrorism

Name the shooter and we'll know what this is (could be a combination of 1 & 3 as 1's love then some 3's) within 30 seconds.

Wow that's crazy…my wife and I did a "Day Date" downtown Austin yesterday and literally walked right past there! Parked at Whole Foods @ Lamar and 5th/6th. Walked down West 6th to Congress!

Just FYI Bufords is a bar on W 6th typically not as bad as E 6th.

---

Hadn't heard yet. Is Buford's on W 6th where it's not as bad as E 6th and also an older crowd?

Ramadan Bombathon?

Buford's hosts GOP events, btw, and the owners are donors. I think this is another targeted terrorist attack towards perceived "right wingers".

The shooting happened early this morning around 2 a.m. CST at Buford's bar on West 6th Street in downtown Austin. 3 dead total (incl. the shooter, killed by police), 14 injured. FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force is assisting based on preliminary evidence at the scene.

Let’s make ONE thing very clear: Only 1 side of the political spectrum would shoot up a bar after US strikes on another country.

Take your pick who is responsible.

1. Islamic Terrorists
2. Illegal Immigrants
3. Mentally Ill leftist
4. The “T’s”…
5. Cartel/Gang Members… pic.twitter.com/W2h26xx28H

People vacation to Austin all the time and that area of 6th where the shooting took place is one of the largest tourist areas in the city.

Well, we know the shooter wasn't a straight MAGA white guy.

The same thing another poster already posted.
This this is full of people saying/posting the same things over and over again.
Did you know that part of 6th caters to an older crowd?

It was a video of an FBI official confirming in a news conference that the shooter in Austin's bar mass shooting had materials on his person and in his vehicle that "were indications of a potential nexus to terrorism."

I'm basically desensitized to bad things happening on 6th Street. I've been there a few times and even back in the 80s and 90s knew I would want to be there after midnight. But what really ticks me off about this is the statement multiple posters made about the DA. I guess that means the DA is a Soros stooge or similar. If the officers did what was right, and IMO they absolutely did, then there should be no reason for the DA to go after them. So why in the hell do people have to put up with this? Is there no recourse to go after obviously politically motivated ass clowns masquerading as district attorneys?

I'm grateful my niece in Austin finally grew out of the 6th St party scene…

I hate reading about this…prayers going out for the victims

The Buford's mass shooter was reportedly from Senegal, had a Quran in his car, and had clothing described as Islamic garb

---

Where are you hearing that from?

Don't think that's accurate. The name floating around from Senegal is from previous shooting in the panhandle a few weeks ago.

Well you think what you want but my guy in Austin told me he's a 15 year naturalized citizen from Senegal. Guess we will see who's correct.

Just wanted to share this, it's one of the things we're going through at the Bush School in our homeland security classes. It's a book written from a group of former intel folks who talk about stateside threats and the mindset of where and how this can unfold. This attack as terrorism fits right into how they projected it could start to happen.
