On March 2nd, a mass shooting rocked Austin Sixth Street Entertainment District early Sunday morning, leaving two people dead in at least 14. Others injured. The suspect, 53-year-old and the Aga Diagoni, opened fire from his SUV into a crowded bar patio around 2 a.m. before police shot and killed him on. The scene. Diagni entered the US on a tourist visa back on March 13th, 2000. He became a lawful permanent resident in 2006 after marrying a US citizen and gained citizenship on April 5th, 2013. Public records show he lived in the Austin area and got a Texas driver's license in 2017. Austin police and emergency crews responded fast, treating victims right away. Three of the injured are still in critical condition, while others have been released from hospitals. Governor Greg Abbott condemned the violence and ordered more patrols and security across Texas. Investigators found signs pointing to a possible terrorism link, including a Quran in Diagni's vehicle and clothing with Islamic and Iranian.

References amid rising US tensions with Iran. The FBI's terrorism task force is now helping out, though officials say it's too soon for a clear motive. No ties to foreign terror groups have surfaced yet, and the probe continues as authorities work to understand what drove this tragic attack.
