Both suspects were killed by police. A Garland school district police officer was injured by a shot to the leg, and was released from hospital. (wikipedia) The FBI in December 2015 said that one of two gunman  had exchanged 109 electronic messages with "an overseas terrorist" that morning, but the messages were encrypted. Both suspects were wearing heavy-duty tactical vests.

Islamic State claimed responsibility for the plot. ISIS supporters had called for threats: ABC News says ISIS followers were calling for attacks leading up to the Garland event. "The brothers from the Charlie Hebdo attack did their part. It's time for brothers in the US to do their part," one supporter wrote. "Brothers in Garland Texas Please go to there with your weapons, bombs or with your knives. Threaten your enemies and the enemies of Allaah," another wrote last week.

  • FBI involvement (Kincaid) FBI involvement in the attempted assassination of Pamela Geller in Garland, Texas (an FBI undercover agent was among the Jihadists).  The Garland case is very troubling. The FBI has been sued. "The FBI helped the terrorists obtain a weapon that was used in the attack by lifting a hold during a background check, incited the terrorist to attack the Garland event, and even sent an agent to accompany the terrorists as they carried out the attack," a court filing in the case says. The Washington Examiner adds:  The filing also alleged that former FBI Director Jim Comey lied in a "post-attack cover-up" about the bureau's knowledge of how the attack unfolded and what Comey and the bureau knew about what was likely to transpire.

Nadir Hamid Soofi: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know  According to his Facebook page, Soofi spent a considerable amount of time with his little brother. He’s a graduate of the University of Utah and the International School of Islamabad in Pakistan. His page also shows multiple posts featuring Palestinian and anti-police propaganda. Frequently, he posts the phrase “Eid Mubarak” meaning celebration to the blessed. Soofi was the owner of Effinity Solutions, a carpet cleaning business in Phoenix. In July 2013, he called himself a “newbie to the carpet cleaning industry.”  Garland cops stopped short of calling the attack a terrorist incident.

His Facebook page, which hasn’t been updated since Oct. 4th of 2014, has a lot of stuff on it about the plight of the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, but nothing that seems too “radicalized” to me. of course, that info will suit the likes of Pam Geller just fine.

    Garland, Texas, Shooting Suspect Identified As Elton Simpson (UPDATED)

  • The Garland Shooting Is a Win for ISIS and Islamophobes, and a Loss for Everyone Else
    Huffington Post‎ -need to get the word out there that the mainstream American-Muslim approach to the cartoon drawing event in Garland was to reiterate their support for free speech, and to urge Muslims to ignore it. At the same time we need to make sure that Muslims around the world understand that Geller's was a very small event, and that the American Freedom Defense Initiative is a fringe organization, understood by mainstream religious and political leaders as promoting hate speech, and not at all representative of the mainstream American perspective on respect of religion and culture.

    Garland Shooting Suspect’s Father: ‘My Son Made a Bad Choice’

    By Randy Kreider @RandyKreider

    The father of one of the suspected gunman in the Garland, Texas shooting told ABC News today that his son “made a bad choice.” “We are Americans and we believe in America,” Dunston Simpson said....View on web Dunston Simpson said his son worked at a dentist’s office but was “on vacation” for the last few weeks and that the two last spoke three weeks ago. But they “had not much to talk about, because we had some very serious differences.” Still, the elder Simpson said that while he was a strict father, Elton was "always a good kid." Lawyer says he was not a threat: Kristina Sitton, who represented Simpson in the 2010 trial, said her former client had been on a no-fly list and that the FBI had attempted to get Simpson to cooperate with them, even after his conviction. She saw him, she said, as "harmless." Converting to Islam seemed like a good thing for him. He had been going down a bad path and then he found Islam... never struck me as someone who would do this sort of thing... I've seen some pretty bad guys and he seemed pretty normal.
