What we know:
Three people, including the gunman, were killed, and 14 others were wounded early Sunday outside Buford’s beer garden in Downtown Austin.
Police said officers were responding to reports of gunfire around 1:40 a.m., before confronting the suspect and fatally shooting him after he opened fire.
Authorities have not publicly identified the suspect, but an FBI spokesman said on Sunday that investigators are reviewing materials recovered from the suspect and his vehicle that indicate a "potential nexus to terrorism," but cautioned that it is too early to determine a motive or whether the attack was directed or inspired by a specific group.
