Overview
- Authorities identified the suspect as Ndiaga Diagne, 53, a naturalized U.S. citizen originally from Senegal.
- Police say the attacker first fired from an SUV at patrons outside Buford’s Backyard Beer Garden, then continued on foot with a rifle before officers shot him dead.
- Officials report three fatalities, including the suspect, and about 14 people injured, with several initially listed in critical condition.
- The FBI and its Joint Terrorism Task Force joined the case after finding indicators on the suspect and in his vehicle; no explosives were discovered and the two firearms were legally purchased in 2017.
- Investigators executed searches linked to Diagne, reviewed his digital history, and noted clothing with religious and Iranian-flag imagery, while cautioning that conclusions about motive have not been reached.
