GARLAND — A search for explosives continues after two men were shot and killed outside a provocative contest for cartoon depictions of the Prophet Muhammad Sunday night.

The event took place at the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland. A strong police presence still resides there Monday morning.

The two suspects drove up and opened fire near the center, hitting a Garland ISD officer. Garland police shot and killed the two men.  

Multiple SWAT teams and an FBI bomb squad were searching the suspects’ vehicle for bombs.

“Because of the situation and what was going on today and the history of what we’ve been told has happened at other events like this, we’re considering their car as possibly having a bomb,” said Garland police officer Joe Harn.

That process could take several more hours, Harn said. News 8 crews at the scene reported a loud boom just before midnight, but there was no confirmation that a bomb was detonated. Two more explosions were heard overnight.

Harn described the search as “precaution.” Police had not identified the suspects because their bodies were near the vehicle in question.

The Garland ISD officer, identified as Bruce Joiner, was shot in the lower leg and suffered non-life threatening injuries, according to a spokesman for Garland police. He has been released from a local hospital.

Some SWAT members were already at the scene for the art event. Harn said additional officers were hired for the event.

A 1,000-foot radius around the Walmart was initially shut down and multiple businesses in the area were evacuated.

Advanced placement testing scheduled for Monday would no longer be held at the Culwell Center, according to Garland ISD.

Pamela Geller, president of the American Freedom Defense Initiative, put on the Muhammad Art Exhibit. She referred to it as a “free speech event” on Twitter. One tweet from her after the apparent attack read “this is a war.”

Attendees of the event were rushed inside the Culwell Center after gunfire was heard. People in a secure room at the center sang patriotic songs.

Witnesses who saw or heard the events were later bussed to the Garland police station. Others were taken to a different secure location at a nearby school. Approximately 200 people attended the event Sunday, Harn said.

Governor Greg Abbott released a statement on the shooting Sunday:

“Texas officials are actively investigating to determine the cause and scope of the senseless attack in Garland, Texas. This is a crime that was quickly ended thanks to the swift action by Garland law enforcement. Our thoughts and prayers remain with all those affected tonight.”

Dr. Nasim Rehmatullah, National Vice President of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA, also released a statement:

“Violence is never an acceptable response to hate speech, no matter how inflammatory and uncivilized that speech is. While we do not yet know what motivated these shooters, we urge calm and defer to local, state, and federal authorities to peaceably and justly resolve this.”

    A BLAST WAS HEARD REPORT FROM GARLAND. CBS NEWS. TEXAS GOV. GREG ABBOTT SAYS OFFICIALS INVESTIGATING A SENSELESS ATTACK OUTSIDE GARLAND TEXAS.

    1. Even ANOTHER good point: the governor of Texas recently got laughing-stocked in the “mainstream media” for issuing a “letter” about Jade Helm. NOW…this happens, takes that out of the headLIES. OMG, this has red false flags all over it. To the highest degree.

      I might even do a post about this one, it’s so blatant.

  3. They actually put on an EVENT for cartoons of Muhammad? I thought it was considered extreme sacrilege to show Muhammad in any way to the Muslim believers. This seems to me to be like they WANTED to cause this to happen. And right next to a school too. Nothing like stirring up an ant hill then getting mad if the ants bite! They are getting more and more blatant with their false flags but maybe only those of us that know what kind of stuff they are capable of see it for what it is. The rest believe what they are told to believe.

    1. If the Mooslimes have such a thin skin,, than THE USA is not where they should live\

      we have a 1st amendment right to say what ever we want about any one or any thing , and if they dont like it,, they can take their sensitive little ass back home and keep their Sharia law over there

      1. I know. I feel the same way. If you don’t like our country, get out. However, in a country that spends so much time and energy yammering about being “politically correct” and worried about “offending sensitivities” (gag) it just seems like they went out of their way to do just that so as to start trouble in order to create more “terrorist threat”???????

  4. I’ve said this before: sadly, we have to assume anything like this is a FALSE FLAG. Then work backwards. That’s how bad the controlled mainstream media got.

  5. ““Because of the situation and what was going on today and the history of what we’ve been told has happened at other events like this, we’re considering their car as possibly having a bomb,” said Garland police officer Joe Harn”

    Other events like this? Really? Where? What situation? Are you guys making up more fearmongering propaganda again? Typical.

    “Governor Greg Abbott released a statement on the shooting Sunday:

    “Texas officials are actively investigating to determine the cause and scope of the senseless attack in Garland, Texas. This is a crime that was quickly ended thanks to the swift action by Garland law enforcement. Our thoughts and prayers remain with all those affected tonight.””

    Yea, yea. Whatever, Wheels. We all know you knew it was going to happen way before it happened. Enough with the bullshit puppet speeches. We all know you can really walk, so get up off your chair so we can kick your ass right back in it, you treasonous bastard.

  6. Again, I ask, is it really necessary for SWAT to be wearing military fatigue? I mean come on. They want us to think they are playing in the forest or in the deserts of Iraq. They’re SWAT for cryin’ out loud. Wear your damn police uniform and leave it be.

    What? They think that they can put on military gear and as long as they slap a “Police” patch on their arm, it’s OK because it means that they are not military on the street? PUHLLEAASSSEEE!!!!!

    They really think we were born yesterday.

    And why the hell do they need SWAT for two guys? Are the police that much of cowards that they can’t catch two guys themselves with their handguns? Pathetic.

    And what’s with this bomb crap? Talk about jumping to conclusions and creating a scenario that’s completely not needed with no evidence or justification to do so, whatsoever.

    And people are proud of these guys? I’m not. I’m ashamed. They’re weak and pathetic. I’m sure that two cops in the 1980s have more balls and brains than the entire police force combined these days. It’s a disgrace.

    1. That is just more conditioning to get the cops to think more like military and to get the public used to military on the streets I think.

  7. Yes it’s all only more psy opps. I surmise that this is what they are spending alot of the ‘money’ stolen from us to fund their shenanigans.

  8. Another tipoff is: immediate articles with waaaaaaaaaaaay to much detail in them. Which is impossible. They had an article with extreme detail history on UPI about this one dead patsy (if he even existed or is even dead). So this just happens, and immediately UPI has an intricate book-like detailed article about people who knew this guy, what mosques he went to, interviews with people who knew him. This in like less than 24 hours? No f*cking way. When it’s FOR REAL, they are f#@ked up and have no details, like Eric Frein.
