He was on the terror watch list, but the feds clearly weren’t watching. They were too busy hunting for Jan. 6 “insurrectionists” and “white supremacists.”
“Victims, suspect identified in South Austin shooting that left 4 dead,” CBS Austin, November 15, 2023 (thanks to AB):
Police have released the names of the victims and suspect from Saturday’s shooting in a South Austin neighborhood that left four dead, including the suspect and a police officer….
The incident began at 2:49 a.m. with a 911 call from a stabbing victim at the home. Responding officers arrived about 10 minutes later, learning of two additional injured individuals inside the residence with the suspect, later identified as 35-year-old Ahmed Mohamed Nassar.
A third victim of Nassar escaped and was located by officers, reporting the suspect still possessed a knife. APD officers attempted a rescue at around 3 a.m., but were fired upon by Nassar, leading to a SWAT callout.
The SWAT team’s entry at approximately 4:11 a.m. to rescue the hostages resulted in an exchange of gunfire with Nassar. Two officers were shot during the operation. Despite medical efforts, Officer Jorge “George” Pastore, 38, died from his injuries. The second officer was treated and later released from the hospital.
Inside the residence, two additional victims, Eyman Elnemrnassar, 63, and Riad Nassar, 32, were found deceased. Nassar also succumbed to his injuries at the scene.
A search warrant court document obtained by CBS Austin said APD officers were met with gunfire from a suspect wearing a brown armor plate vest and armed with a rifle. “Cutting instruments, body armor and any tactical gear to include firearms were all said to be worn or used by the suspect” during the incident, the affidavit said….
“Gunman suspected of killing Texas SWAT cop and 2 hostages was reportedly on FBI terror watchlist,” by Melissa Koenig, New York Post, November 15, 2023 (thanks to Ken):
The gunman who killed Texas SWAT Officer Jorge Pastore in a shootout that also left two hostages dead was wearing body armor and night vision goggles — and was on the FBI’s terror watchlist, according to reports.
A search warrant for the suspect’s south Austin home — the scene of Saturday’s deadly shootout — unearthed bomb-making materials inside, calling for help from the FBI’s Evidence Recovery Team, according to KXAN.
“Cutting instruments, body armor and any tactical gear to include firearms were all said to be worn or used by the suspect,” reads the warrant, which noted that it’s “not uncommon for people with a gun, body armor or night vision to make homemade explosives.”
Neither the suspect nor the dead hostages had been officially identified as of early Wednesday.
However, a local organization called the Round Rock Area Muslims said they were all family members of a “beloved brother” who was well-known in the local community.
They were mom Eman Ahmed El Nemr-Nassar and two of her sons, Ahmed Mohammed Nassar, 35, and Riad Mohamed Nassar, 32, according to a group member’s since-deleted post shared by the Daily Mail.
It was not known which of the two brothers was the shooter — but the FBI had investigated members of the family and had the suspect on the terror watchlist, law enforcement sources told the Mail….

As I’ve previously stated, they’ve known for years, if not decades what these scumbags are doing. They don’t care. They (the seventh floor) apparently want the bloodbath.
Had this particular vermin survived, he’d be deemed “mentally ill” and no one would ever publicly admit to the real motive—the common denominator—amongst all of them.
In modern-day America (and all western countries), jihadis are a protected class, which is precisely what the Sharia supremacists want.

So sad. May God help the families of the victims.

Stabbing people shouldn’t be a death sentence!!! We needed a proportionate response!!! Reeeeeee
But what about Israel!!!!

“Round Rock Area Muslims’ “beloved brother” who was well-known in the local community,” no doubt for his bomb-making skills and promise to go full jihad. I’ll bet they’re proud. MSM will tell us either nothing or nothing but lies.
Not A Muslim says
Isn’t Nypost part of msm?
Hoi Polloi says
Is it? I usually hear them refer to it as a tabloid, especially after the laptop report. Not in the favored with a presented narrative bunch, as far as I know.
somehistory says
I find that the NY Post usually tells the Truth, as opposed to the slant the bigger names use for their reporting.
It doesn’t seem to me to be main stream.
Hoi Polloi says
Yes, the Hunter Biden exposé and the like leave them locked out of the inner circle.
Charles Valenzuela says
Maybe you should have said “the usual leftist propaganda MSM” rather than just MSM. The nit-pickers will whine that ALL large publishers and “news” organizations are “MSM.”
Hoi Polloi says
Yes, leftists will argue about inflection while the world shatters around them. Idk if Not was just curious, but I could spend hours qualifying statements and terms and never satisfy a leftist. Their dictionary would get 12 rewrites before I could finish.
bagsgroove says
Let’s handout cookies for getting rid of another moslem murderer. He is now very surprised to find out allah was satan with a muslim name and the murderer is now being fried in pork fat and force fed hamass ham. Now to get rid of the rest of the 2billion muslims.

Bob Blackthorne says
So, the executioner was “….on the FBI’s ‘Watch List?” Wow! How IMPRESSIVE! But, but, but, from everything I’ve been reading, the FBI is rigorously going after USA CITIZENS who have what they call “Far Right” ideologies and vote for Conservatives! A modern day “Gestapo” me thinks! Disband and start from scratch!

Didn’t even make the news in the DFW area. Imagine that.
Pray Hard says
Austin is a leftist dystopia. Shortly, we’ll hear, if we hear anything, that it had nothing to do with islam.
OLD GUY says
It’s amazing how often when these muslims commit these killings we hear that they were on the FBI WATCH LIST. Maybe instead of just watching these migrant terrorist they should pick them up and deport them. The WATCH LIST didn’t help the citizens or police officer he killed.
