One of the gunmen who staged an attack at an exhibit of caricatures of the Prophet Mohammad in a Dallas suburb has been identified as Elton Simpson, an Arizona man previously the target of a terror investigation, ABC News said citing a senior FBI official.
Texas police shot dead two gunmen who opened fire outside an exhibit of caricatures of the prophet Muhammad being held at an indoor arena in the suburb of Garland, northeast of Dallas.
Police said they had not immediately determined the identity of the two gunmen or whether they were linked to critics of the event who had branded it anti-Islamic.
A security officer who was shot in the leg by the two attackers was treated at a local hospital and later released. No one else was injured.
