I spoke this afternoon with Kash Patel, the director of the FBI.
As of Sunday afternoon,
They do not have clear evidence of motive from.
So they're right now carrying out the search warrants on his residence.
They're examining his social media.
They're examining phone calls.
They're putting together the evidence, putting together the evidence to determine what went on, if he acted alone, what the precise motivation was.
That being said.
given the sweatshirt and shirt he was wearing and given his origin from Senegal, I think it is very likely this is terrorism, that it is not a coincidence, I believe, that he's wearing an Iranian flag while he is opening fire.
That evidence has not conclusively been proven yet, but I expect that it will be.
Interestingly, he did not enter the bar
He opened fire from outside, from the street and sidewalk, opened fire and shot into the bar.
And three Austin police officers took him out, killed him, shot him on the street.
The mayor told me that the Austin police was there within a minute.
So it was a very fast, very fast response and took him out.
Thank goodness.
Saved a lot of lives.
You know, and I'm told the video, there's videos that will be released, show chaos, show people running.
And in fact, some of the people are running actually towards the shooter because they heard gunshots, but did not know where they were coming from.
And so they were running, but accidentally running the wrong way.
