GARLAND, Texas (AP) — A contest for cartoons depictions of the Prophet Muhammad in a Dallas suburb is on lockdown after authorities reported a shooting outside the building.

An officer dressed in SWAT gear took the stage toward the end of the event at the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland and told attendees, including an Associated Press reporter, that a shooting had occurred. He said one officer and two suspects were shot.

It wasn't immediately clear if the shooting was related to the event.

Yes, the shooting was related to the event.

It was a “draw Mohammed” art contest, to protest the Charlie Hebdo censorship as well as deliberate contrast to a rally “for the prophet Mohammed” held there by thousands of Muslims a few weeks before.

The event was organized by Pamella Geller and like-minded people. It was known that there was a danger, hence six cordons of security at the event.

The gun men showed up at 7 PM, when the event was supposed to end but ended up lasting a little while longer. The gunmen were confronted by security, hence the officer down and two dead gunmen.

Muslims tried to kill people drawing Mohammed or enjoying the art show, arriving at a location (parking lot) and time to kill people as they were leaving.

Countdown to Obama blaming the event organizers in 3, 2, 1, ....

There's that, and then the police over-reacted. "This isn't the first time it's happened."

He'll sell it to the 47%.
