Two men who opened fire outside a contest for cartoons depicting the Muslim prophet Muhammad were killed by police Sunday at a Garland ISD events center.
A senior FBI official confirmed that one of the suspects in the attack has been identified as Elton Simpson, an Arizona man who was previously the subject of a terrorism investigation, ABC News reports.
FBI agents and a bomb squad reportedly converged on Simpson's apartment in Phoenix, where police were conducting an initial search with a robot.
KPNX-TV (Channel 12), an NBC affiliate in Arizona, reported that the two suspects had been roommates. The second man, though, has not been named officially or in media accounts.
Simpson was well known to the FBI, ABC News reported. Five years ago he was convicted for lying to federal agents about his plans to travel to Africa, "but a judge ruled the government did not adequately prove he was going to join a terror group there."
According to ABC News, officials suspect Simpson was behind several Twitter messages sent out before the attack, the last of which came half an hour before the shooting and used the hashtag "#texasattack."
May Allah accept us as mujahideen [those engaged in jihad], the tweet said.

I too, enjoyed that. it is a crying shame the authorities did not just let them lay there until they started to rot.
I guess my real question is;
Why are there no pictures of the gunmen?
But wait! I think we know that answer.
Elton Simpson be his slave name.
What be his jihady warrior name?
One has been identified by name (Elton Simpson), and his picture is out there.
Obama will refuse to call this an act of terrorism, too.

Whoa. They were next door to you?
Watching CNN would leave someone with the impression that Pamela Gellar is the problem — and not the Muslims.
Despite the sympathies — if not outright support — towards their “cause” by the Democrat Socialist Party and the Left in America ... the violent members of the ROT (religion of terror) are going to have a tough go of it here. Unlike in England and France where the population has been disarmed, we fight back here ... hard!
What was the jihadi’s IQ?
An American son of obama and a muslim; in other words, a democrat.

I heard there were metal detectors. As a CHL holder if they denied me entry I would not have gone in and entrusted my care to others at an event of this nature.
Isn’t that photo from “Romancing The Stone: Jewel Of The Nile”?
