From Fox News:
Two armed men were killed after opening fire on a security guard outside an exhibit of artistic depictions of the Muslim prophet Muhammad in suburban Dallas Sunday evening.
The city of Garland said in a statement posted on its Facebook page that the men drove up to the Curtis Culwell Center and began shooting at the security officer. Garland Police Department officers returned fire, killing both gunmen, the statement said.
The Garland Independent School District identified the wounded security officer as Bruce Joiner in a statement. The statement added that Joiner was shot in the ankle, was treated and released from a local hospital.
Authorities said they were worried that the suspects' car could contain an incendiary device. Several nearby businesses were evacuated as a precaution and a bomb squad was on the scene late Sunday night. Police had cordoned off a large area and at least three helicopters circled overhead.
The New York-based American Freedom Defense Initiative had been hosting a contest at the center that would award $10,000 for the best cartoon depicting Muhammad.
Such drawings are deemed insulting to many followers of Islam and have sparked violence around the world. According to mainstream Islamic tradition, any physical depiction of Muhammad -- even a respectful one -- is considered blasphemous.
Johnny Roby of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, was attending the conference. He told the AP he was outside the building when he heard around about 20 shots that appeared to be coming from the direction of a passing car.
Roby said he then heard two single shots. He said he heard officers yell that they had the car before he was sent inside the building.
Pamela Geller, president of the AFDI, told the AP before Sunday's event that she planned the contest to make a stand for free speech in response to outcries and violence over drawings of Muhammad. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2015/05/04/police-shooting-at-muhammad-cartoon-contest-in-texas/
My guess is that these terror suspects will not be getting any virgins because the good guy were able to kill them before the thugs did any damage, except to themselves.
Thank goodness that the cops and security people were in place in case something bad happened.
And of course, there have been rumors that ISIS has a training camp just outside our borders in Mexico. It will be interesting to see if these thugs came from Mexico or were they are home grown terrorists.
and of course, Obama will blame as a work place incident, just like the Fort Hood shootings and other terrorist attacks in the U.S.
