The Guardian is reporting that...

Two gunmen have been killed and a security guard injured during what appeared to be an attack on a contest for cartoon depictions of the prophet Muhammad in a Dallas suburb.

The gunmen drove up to the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland shortly before 7pm on Sunday where the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI) were hosting the exhibition and contest.

According to city authorities an unarmed guard at the event was shot at before the men were engaged and killed by police.

Further...

A bomb squad was called in after reports of a possible incendiary device at the scene of the incident. Police said a "bomb container trailer" had also been deployed in which to place any suspect device.

A police spokesman said two males had been killed and their bodies were still lying outside their car hours later.

"Because of the situation of what was going on today and the history of what we've been told has happened at other events like this, we are considering their car (is) possibly containing a bomb," Officer Joe Harn, a spokesman for the Garland Police Department, said.

    Time for everyone's favorite bullshit check - the Godwin substitution:

    Whatever country you are in you're surrounded by millions of moslims muslims neo-nazis and completely unafraid of your safety. Take a look outside, the picture you are painting is completly completely wrong.

    <sarcasm>So there is your proof: nazis don't really mean to hurt anyone! The small number of nazis who hurt people are just extremists and don't represent the average non-violent nazi.</sarcasm>
