**FBI Joint Terrorism Taskforce investigating mass shooting at Austin bar near UT campus** -
 
Three people were killed and 14 others were wounded when a gunman opened fire at a packed bar in downtown Austin early Sunday — and the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force is investigating the attack. Police responded to reports of a male shooting at Buford’s Backyard Beer Garden — near the University of Texas-Austin — just before 2 a.m., officials said at a press conference. The gunman reportedly stormed the bar with a handgun and an assault rifle, according to the Austin-American Statesman. The FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force has joined the investigation into the mass shooting — indicating that the motive of the attack could be related to terrorism. Officials said they will release more information as it becomes available throughout the day.
