Three people were killed, including the alleged gunman, and 14 others were wounded in a shooting early Sunday at a popular bar in the Texas capital of Austin, police said.Austin Police Chief Lisa Davis said a man driving an SUV drove near the bar, put the vehicle’s flashers on, pulled down his window and began shooting with a pistol, striking customers on the bar patio and in front of the bar.The suspect then parked the car, got out armed with a rifle, and began shooting at people who passed by, Davis said. At that point, officers encountered the suspect and shot him.Acting Special Agent in Charge Alex Doran of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) San Antonio Field Office said the shooting was “potentially” an act of terrorism.“There were indicators on the subject and in his vehicle that indicate potential nexus to terrorism. Again, it’s still too early to make a determination on that,” Doran said.At an earlier news conference, Davis said police were notified of a “male shooting” at Buford’s bar in the city’s popular nightlife district. The call came in before 2am.
