As a large SUV rolled past a block of Austin’s lively bars and late-night crowds in Sunday’s early hours, a sweatshirted arm reached out the driver’s side window with a pistol and began to pull the trigger.

Over the course of just one minute, the gunman sailed down the city’s bustling Sixth Street and then exited his car, firing off even more bullets, ultimately killing three people and injuring 13 others before he was fatally shot by police.

The suspect, 53-year-old Ndiaga Diagne, was wearing a hoodie emblazoned with the words “Property of Allah,” a picture obtained by CNN shows. Law enforcement later found Diagne - who was fatally shot by police - was wearing a T-shirt stamped with an Iranian flag design, according to a source.

Though investigators have kept details close to the vest, they are probing whether the Texas shooting was inspired by this weekend’s strikes on Iran by the US and Israel, multiple law enforcement officials briefed on the case said.

British Columbia Premier David Eby described the attack at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School as an ‘unimaginable tragedy’.

The RCMP said the incident involved an “active shooter at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School” in British Columbia, and that “an individual believed to be the shooter was also found deceased with what appears to be a self‑inflicted injury”.

Two people were “airlifted to hospital with serious or life‑threatening injuries” and approximately 25 others were “being assessed and triaged at the local medical centre for non‑life‑threatening injuries”, the RCMP added.

All remaining students and staff were safely evacuated from the school, police said.

Located in the foothills of the British Columbia Rocky Mountains, more than 1,100 km (685 miles) north of Vancouver, the township of Tumbler Ridge has a population of fewer than 3,000 people.

Canadian media have reported that the shooter was female, but the RCMP declined to provide any details on the suspect’s identity in a news conference on Tuesday.

Police also remain tight lipped about the age of the victims and the weapon or weapons used in the attack, citing privacy concerns and an ongoing investigation by the RCMP’s Major Crimes Unit.
