Austin unveils new footage from West Sixth Street mass shooting

Austin police released 911 calls, radio traffic, and body-cam and surveillance footage from the West Sixth Street shooting that left three bystanders dead and about 19 injured. The attack was carried out by Ndiaga Diagne, who fired from a black Cadillac and later with an AR-15-style rifle before being fatally shot by officers; both firearms were legally purchased. The DA said officers will not be prosecuted, and the three involved officers are on administrative leave as the department nears the end of its criminal investigation. The release came amid public vigilations in Austin and notes from federal authorities about possible terrorism indicators, though no confirmed link has been established.}
