At least three people, including the alleged gunman, have been killed after a shooting at a bar in Texas.

Authorities say 14 others were wounded after the incident in central Austin, where the suspect was found to have "potential" links to terrorism.

The city's police chief Lisa Davis told reporters early on Sunday that her force received reports of a "male shooting" just before 2am at Buford's Backyard Beer Garden on West Sixth Street, a popular nightlife destination in the city's entertainment district filled with bars and music clubs.

Ms Davis said the suspect, who was driving an SUV, went past the bar several times, before putting the vehicle's indicators on, opening his window and "shooting [through the open window] with a pistol, striking patrons on the bar patio and in front of the bar".

The suspect then parked and "got out of his car armed with a rifle, and began shooting at people passing by".

The gunman — identified as a US citizen from Senegal — had a Quran in his car and was dressed in clothing described as Islamic garb when he began firing into the crowd.

He has a history of arrests in Texas, and is believed to have lived in New York City from 2000 to 2008, the sources said.
