Gunmen open fire outside 'Muhammad Art Exhibit' at Garland ISD facility, police say (Dallas)
Dallas Morning News ^ | 5/3/15 | Staff Reports

Posted on 05/03/2015 6:45:20 PM PDT by jimbo123

Two gunmen opened fire Sunday evening outside a contest for cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad at Garland ISD's Curtis Culwell Center, police said.

The two men pulled up in a vehicle and shot a Garland ISD officer. The men were fatally shot by Garland police, and their bodies remain on the street outside the events center.

The security officer's wounds were not believed to be life-threatening, but he had been hospitalized.

No one was being allowed to leave the facility, where an art show centering on caricatures of Muhammad was being held. Nearby businesses, including a Walmart and Sam's Club, were evacuated.

Authorities extended a perimeter 2,000 feet around the Culwell Center, and they were investigating a car within that zone. Garland police were waiting for a bomb squad to examine the vehicle.

Reports of the incident began to develop shortly before 7 p.m., when the event had been scheduled to conclude. A speaker had finished his presentation shortly after 6:30 p.m.

The Prophet Mohammed was to be vindicated, but unlike France there are Police whom are armed and ended the issue immediately! The Islamist terrorists are DEAD. Wonder what their goal was similar to France. Well they will not get their 72 Virgins - they will get something like Helen Thomas in turn.

An article about the event (not the shootings):
http://www.breitbart.com/texas/2015/05/01/pamela-gellers-inaugural-10000-muhammad-art-exhibit-and-contest-in-dallas-may-3/
“The first annual Muhammad Art Exhibit and Contest will be held on Sunday, May 3, at the Curtis Culwell Center, 5-7 pm, in the Dallas suburb of Garland, Texas. It will be hosted by human rights and free-speech activist Pamela Geller and her organization, the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI).
The exhibit will feature images of Islam’s prophet in both historical and contemporary settings, showcasing the top 200 artistic renditions that were submitted for consideration. The winner will be announced at the event, and a $10,000 prize will be awarded.
The keynote speaker will be Geert Wilders...”

If Michael Moore got what he wanted, those police would have been unarmed and dozens of Americans would have been killed.

Wearing all black ? ISIS. Close the borders now

These terrorists, if they weren't U.S.-born, probably arrived here on legal visas. Most Muslim immigrants get here that way. Thanks GOP congress, Obama, Bush Jr, etc.

Perhaps Michael Moore needs to use himself as a human shield, he could save dozens of lives covering them up with his fat ass

Nope. The last guy to try a large scale mass killing in Texas discovered that only will Texans shoot back, they will provide suppressing fire, then assist the police in going up and getting his happy ass from the clock tower he was perched in. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Whitman

The Islamists are linked with the drug cartels. $$$$$ for them. Same with the Mexican gov. encouraging illigal immigration. The money flows back through Western Union.

In Texas, the I stands for Independent. Some other places it stands for “Integrated”.
