The fallout from the distant Iran war has claimed the life of a student of Indian descent in Texas, who was killed along with another student by a man wearing a symbol of Iran who opened fire outside a popular venue. 

Officials identified Savitha Shan on Monday as one of the two dead in the shooting early Sunday morning in Austin that also injured 14 others. The shooter was identified as an immigrant from Senegal, who was wearing a T-shirt with the Iranian flag and a shirt with “Property of Allah” written on it, officials said.
