DALLAS, United States: Two gunmen opened fire on Sunday at an art exhibit in Garland, Texas, featuring depictions of the Prophet Mohammad and were themselves shot dead by police, the city said in a statement.

The shooting, an echo of past attacks or threats in other Western countries on art depicting the Prophet, was reported shortly before 7pm at the Curtis Culwell Center.
