Ryder Harrington, a former Texas Tech student, was killed in a shooting at a bar in Austin, Texas. Harrington was one of two people killed when a gunman opened fire on 16 people outside a beer garden. His former fraternity hosted a private candlelight vigil for him. The FBI has indicated that there are indications of a possible connection to terrorism. The suspected shooter, Ndiaga Diagne, was wearing a sweater reading "Property of Allah" over a T-shirt bearing the Iranian flag at the time of the shooting. A fundraiser for Harrington's family had raised more than $102,000 as of Monday evening.
