Gunmen Attack At "Muhammad Art Exhibit"

This evening near a "Muhammad Art Exhibit and Cartoon Contest" held at the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland, Texas hosted by noted anti-jihadist Pamela Gellar, two gunmen shot a security guard and were then shot dead by policemen who were helping with security for the event.  The security guard was treated and released at a local hospital.  The vehicle in which the gunmen had traveled to the event was search by a police bomb squad.  There are no indications yet of the shooters' motives, but depictions of the prophet Mohammed are considered blasphemous by Muslims.

UPDATE 2:  One of the attackers has been identified as Elton Simpson, who lived in Arizona and was previously investigated by the FBI, according to ABC News.
