Authorities have identified one of the suspected gunmen who attacked an event in Dallas on cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad, US media say.
The FBI named him as Elton Simpson, who had been previously investigated on suspicion of terrorism offences, several reports said.
Agents were searching an apartment in Phoenix, Arizona, where Simpson reportedly lived, an FBI official said.
Two gunmen were shot dead after opening fire outside Sunday's event.
They drove to the Muhammad Art Exhibit in the Dallas suburb of Garland as the event was ending, firing with assault rifles on two officers in a parking lot.
One of the officers, a traffic policeman, returned fire and killed both the gunmen, Garland police official Joe Harn said. The security officer who with him was shot in the lower leg. He was treated in hospital and then released.

The other one hasn’t been named because the “authorities” can’t figure out which version of “Mohammed” he uses for his first name. Mohammed? Mohamed? Muhammid? Mahmed? Mohamad? Muhamid? I wonder which one it is...

"firing with assault rifles on two officers in a parking lot."
$100 says these were just semi-auto rifle, not assault rifles. Probably semi-auto AK knockoffs.

They can’t find the other’s shooters non-Muslim name. And when they find it, they sure as shootin’ can’t spell it.

But you're right.

I'm sorry that I have to say this . . . but it seems to me that in the racial/social environment Øbama has so carefully crafted that the black man is looking for ANY reason/excuse to kill YT, any reason at all.
