Police in Texas shot and killed two men Sunday outside a building where what organizers described as a free speech event was taking place. Officials said police reacted quickly when a car drove up to the building and two men began firing at a security officer. In the exchange of gunfire, the officer suffered wounds that were not life-threatening.
The event was held by an orgnization called the American Freedom Defense Initiative, also known as Stop the Islamization of America. It included a competition for cartoons of Islam’s Prophet Muhammad. Many Muslims consider any image of him a crime against Islam.
