Muslim gunman who killed an Austin SWAT officer and two hostages was on the “terror watch list”.

… [I]t has been reported that the individual who shot the SWAT officer was on the terror watchlist. The suspect and his family were known to be part of a Muslim group in Round Rock, TX, a suburb located north of Austin.

The FBI had investigated members of the shooter's family before Saturday's killing of top cop Jorge Pastore, law enforcement sources said.

“We did check it out”, federal agent Jorge insisted to FWIW, “and although he had machine guns, bombs, and body-armor hidden all around the house, he never once misgendered us, or engaged in any lingual micro-aggressions, and, following the new NSA DIE guidelines, that’s all we can do, really. Kinda too bad, I suppose.”
