GARLAND, Texas — Two armed men who opened fire on a security officer outside of a provocative contest for cartoon depictions of the Prophet Muhammad have been killed, authorities in the Dallas suburb of Garland said Sunday night.
The City of Garland said in a statement posted on its Facebook page Sunday night that two men drove up to the Curtis Culwell Center and began shooting at a security officer.
Garland Police Department officers engaged the gunmen, who were both shot and killed, the statement said.
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 the Prophet Muhammad.
In January, 12 people were killed by gunmen in an attack against the Paris office of the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo, which had lampooned Islam and other religions and used depictions of Muhammad.

Still have to wonder how these two managed to get so close. They were tweeting their intentions on social media. Did law enforcement know about these guys but were a little too circumspect or politically correct to arrest them on weapons charges. Texas is tough and well armed and not surprised these two were stopped at the point of attack. If the attack had been planned to happen in Vermont, not so sure it would have been stopped.
Well, uber PC Vermont would have shut down the event anyway....
Leftist media: “2 Art critics gunned down by hitmen hired by right-wing extremists”
lol
Excellent shooting by that security guard! And dead muzzies to boot. We discussed this early on and yep, it happened. If you mess with their demon god, you’ll flush psycho-muzzies out.
I think the LEOs killed the muzzies. I believe the security guard was unarmed.
The only good Mohammadan is a dead Mohammadan.
My apologies for my post #20, I shouldn’t have snapped at you and I should have taken a few extra minutes to get the quotes exactly right.
Nor does putting an inaccurate quote within quotation marks.
Naw, the sweetest sound is when a Muslim terrorist yells "oh shit" when the bullets come flying back at him.
How dare those wacis cops let those sons of Obama lay out there in the middle of the street like dogs? /s (hee hee hee)
if the NSA is reading that, I don’t know this guy!!
lol
lol
Very nice...but be careful, the “editors” may check that quote against what is in the Koran!
No prob.
***...whether there wouldn’t have been a better way that having the cartoon contest event in Texas**
Well, it could have been sponsored by HUSTLER MAGAZINE since they did win a freedom of speech case against Falwell years ago!
Larry Flint was known for faking being a Christian, and running the most vile anti-Christian cartoons in is magazine, then he libeled Jerry Falwell, and Flint WON THE CASE before the SCOTUS!
Muzzlemen have no leg to stand on.
Heh. I’ll wait until I hear Hussein speak on this....he’s a Constitutional professor, ya know.
