Terrifying bodycam footage of Sunday’s mass shooting at a bar in downtown Austin shows cops take down pro-Iran terrorist Ndiaga Diagne after a fierce gun battle.
The video shows the deadly encounter from multiple angles in real time as officers traded gunfire with the Senegalese immigrant, who was wearing a “Property of Allah” sweatshirt and an Iran flag t-shirt.
One clip shows an officer with their service pistol drawn shouting out “Where is he? Where is he?” as he fires around a dozen shots toward Diagne, who was standing on a nearby street corner armed with an assault rifle.
Another angle appears to show surveillance footage recorded from a nearby building, and shows Diagne calmly crossing at an intersection while opening fire at pedestrians on the sidewalk.
The soundless footage concludes with Diagne collapsing to the ground and a pair of officers approaching him to check on his condition.
Austin Police Chief Lisa Wilson called the footage “overwhelming” to watch, and said members of the department’s public information office were “in tears” watching it in their office.
Diagne killed three people in the rampage and wounded 16 others – most of them outside the bar, which has a large patio. Wilson said two victims remain in the hospital with one in critical condition.
Those killed in the attack at the popular roadhouse-style nightlife spot were 21-year-old University of Texas at Austin student Savitha Shan, 19-year-old Texas Tech student Ryder Harrington and Jorge Pederson, 30, a competitive MMA fighter from Minnesota.
Wilson said the Austin PD had “no contact” with Diagne, and that his only known contact with cops was a mental health welfare check in 2022, which Wilson said happened in New York.
She said the incident didn’t rise to the level of severity where committing Diange became necessary, however.
