An alert local law enforcement officer in Garland, Texas, stopped what could have been a mass killing and a “win” for the propagandists of Islam and ISIS.

From the UKDailyMail.com:

Former terror suspect well known to the FBI is named as one of two gunmen shot dead by cops after attack on anti-Islam ‘draw Muhammad’ art contest near Dallas

by Wills Robinson and Ted Thornhill and Lydia Warren

• Two suspects were gunned down after shooting a guard in the leg outside the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland
• The FBI has named one of the gunmen as Elton Simpson, who was convicted of lying to federal agents about traveling to Africa five years ago – but a judge ruled it could not be proved that he was going to join a terror group
• Simpson’s Phoenix, Arizona home has been surrounded and a bomb squad is carrying out a search 
• The American Freedom Defense Initiative event had offered a $10,000 prize for the best caricature of the prophet; local residents had expressed their concerns about the event but organizers said they were exercising free speech
• The security guard who was shot, Bruce Joiner, was taken to hospital in stable condition and has been released 
• One traffic officer shot both men dead and has been praised by cops for potentially saving many lives 
• ISIS fighter claimed on Twitter that the shooting was carried out by two pro-ISIS individuals 

A former terror suspect has been named as one of the gunmen shot dead by police after two attackers blasted an unarmed security guard in the ankle during an anti-Islam art contest in Texas on Sunday night.

Two men armed with assault rifles and wearing body armor were killed by a quick-thinking traffic officer after opening fire outside the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland, Dallas, at around 7pm.

Was ISIS involved?  No one knows quite yet.  But ISIS propaganda claimed one of the involved Garland shooters was named “Shariah Is Light,” @atawaakul.

Just who was responsible?

Investigators also searched the car that the two gunmen drove to the scene and found luggage and further ammunition inside. Some of the belongings were destroyed as a precaution but no explosives were found inside the vehicle, Garland Police Officer Joe Harn said on Monday.

Ahead of the attack on Sunday evening, several Twitter messages were sent out, and authorities believe Simpson was behind them. The last one was shared just half an hour before the attack.

Followers of ISIS had been calling for an attack online for more than a week after learning that the competition in Garland would feature a ‘draw Muhammad’ art contest, with a prize of $10,000 for the best caricature.

After the attack, the SITE Intelligence Group reported that an Islamic State fighter claimed on Twitter that the shooting was carried out by two pro-Isis individuals.

Frankly, I believe that ISIS elements are in fact within our borders.  It would be quite stupid to think otherwise, considering our porous borders under quisling Barack Hussein Obama, lover of most things Islamic, eschewer of most things Christian.

Further, however:

The Garland Independent School district, who own the cultural center, allowed the event to go ahead despite criticism from residents and local Muslims that it was a risk to public safety. 

To that I say: major kudos to the Garland Independent School District for deciding to support the First Amendment here in the United States.  They made a decision that few other school districts would have had the balls to make: support American foundational documents and do so with bravery, clarity and honesty.

The additional take out of all of this?  It will not be the Feds nor FEMA who will “save you” as a First Responder.  It will be your local cops, plain and simple.
