The Curtis Culwell Center attack was carried out by two men from Arizona who attacked officers with gunfire at the entrance to an exhibit featuring cartoon images of Muhammad at the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland, Texas on May 3, 2015. The attackers shot a Garland Independent School District (GISD) security officer in the ankle. Shortly after the attackers pulled up and opened fire, both were promptly shot and killed by a Garland police officer. The FBI had been monitoring the two attackers for years and an undercover agent was right behind them, filming with his camera, when the first shots were fired. The agent was himself arrested and later released.
