Councilman Michael Polinsic expressed his outrage over the incident, insisting that those responsible must face justice, saying in part, what kind of monster would do this to two children?

Justice guard them like they're trash.

Not in Collinwood.

This is unacceptable.

He said, we will not tolerate this.

There must be accountability for those two children.

Police confirmed another child was located inside the home with a woman.

That child has since been removed and placed in the care of DCF.

It is believed the woman is the mother of the two girls found dead.

In a tragic incident early Sunday morning, a mass shooting at a bar in Austin, Texas resulted in the deaths of two people and left 14 others seriously injured, according to the authorities.

Police also reported that an armed suspect was shot and killed by officers during the confrontation.

The suspect has been identified as a 53-year-old man in Diaga Diagne, a resident of Pflugerville, Texas, originally from Senegal and a naturalized citizen.

Austin Police Chief Lisa Davis reported that Diagne circled the bar multiple times

before opening fire on patrons both outside the establishment on its patio using a handgun.

Afterward, he drove west on 6th Street, parked his vehicle, and emerged with a rifle, targeting pedestrians as he moved along the street.

Officers later confronted him, leading to an exchange of gunfire that resulted in his death.

Authorities recovered both a handgun and a rifle from the scene.

Law enforcement sources noted that Diagne was wearing clothing with references to Allah and a t-shirt with the word Iran alongside the Iranian flag.
