Law enforcement officials on Monday identified one of the two gunmen who opened fire on Sunday at a Muhammed cartoon contest near Dallas as a Phoenix resident named Elton Simpson, the New York Times reported.
The FBI was searching an apartment in Phoenix that they believe is connected to Simpson and the second gunman, according to the Times.
ABC News first reported that officials identified Simpson as one of the the suspects in the shooting.
Two gunmen were killed after they opened fire on a Muhammed cartoon contest at the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland, Texas. One security officer was injured in the shooting, and was released from the hospital on Sunday night.
“Elton Simpson”? That doesn’t sound Arabic at all.
Sounds like the police did excellent prep and were great under fire.
I’m surprised they weren’t pulled for Jade Helm defense by state officials…
Bingo!
That is his American name like Kareem Abdul Jabbar/Lew Alcindor.
A special big Thank You! goes out from the ISIL recruiting staff to the organizers of this inflammatory event. I hope the cowardly bastards enjoy their fame and fortune now that they have done their very best to assure another thousand or so U.S. soldiers die in the Middle East.
