An art exhibit became a scene of violence yesterday in Dallas. A provocative contest to depict the prophet Muhammad drew people in a show of free speech, but two armed gunmen attacked the event shooting an unarmed security guard. They were then shot and killed by police. Police say the men drove up to the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland as the contest was about to end. A bomb squad called in as well after reports of a device inside the car. We’ve got Fox team coverage.
