Two men were shot in a parking lot outside the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland Sunday afternoon, SWAT officials told News 8.

Those men possibly had explosives on them, SWAT officials said. Everyone at the center, which was hosting a Muhammad Art exhibit, was told to find a safe place inside the building.

SWAT members were at the scene for the event.

Rowlett/Sachse Scanner reported on Facebook that a suspect was inside a nearby Walmart, off Garland Avenue and Naaman Forest Boulevard, with a hand grenade.

This is Texas, not Paris. The perps went horizontil petty quick.

I was going to say... staging a jihad attack in TX isn't too bright. Had these guys managed to get into the event, they would have discovered to everyone there was armed.

Dallas News headline was changed.

Link still says “anti-islam-event”.

Since this is America, I would prefer “free speech event”.

My older brother and his son both live in Texas. They both have concealed carry permits.

If you are on twitter:

Before they shut down his account for the terrorist attack in Texas, feel free to tell @atawaakul to rot in hell

As soon as differences are ironed out in a conference committee and signed by Gov. Abbott, those concealed carry permits will allow them to openly carry once the open carry bill becomes law. Might make some of those lunatics think twice about launching an attack in Texas.

Every mosque is an enemy fortress

Mosque! They're not French....it's a mosk.

Cop wounded, jihadis dead.

He’s going to say the show was “provocative”.

Good, it seems like they'll fall for it every time.

Wow. I just had a huge argument with my hubby over this. He basically said Geller was provoking them and deserved this. I told him she was just saying as Americans and free people we should be able to express our opinions without worrying about being killed. I would be interested to hear what all of you think about this even.
