Two gunmen are shot dead outside an anti-Islam art show in Texas

Two gunmen have been shot dead in a shooting incident in Texas.

The men had opened fire outside the Curtis Culwell Center in the city of Garland where an anti-Islam art exhibition was being held. It included images of the Prophet Mohammad.

A policeman was injured.

Art depicting the Prophet has sometimes angered Muslims and provoked threats from radicals.

In January Islamist gunmen attacked the Paris offices of the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in revenge for its cartoons of the Prophet killing 12 people.

There is no word as to the identity of the Texas gunmen.
