'Tight security' at US cartoon conference in Dallas
Two gunmen have been shot dead after they opened fire outside a conference on cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad in a suburb of Dallas, US police say.
A security guard was also injured. Police sealed off the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland and evacuated participants.
The event, organised by a group critical of Islam, was offering a cash prize for a drawing of the Prophet.
Eyewitness Stephen Perkins said there had been a high level of security at the event.
