Texas Shooting Suspect Was On Authorities' Radar For Years: "According to the AP, Simpson was arrested in 2010, a day before he was scheduled to fly to South Africa. He was convicted in 2011 of lying to an FBI agent about whether he had discussed traveling to Somalia.
At a morning press conference on Monday, Garland Officer Joe Harn said the two men drove up to the event and started firing at police. An officer returned fire and killed both attackers, according to Harn.
"We were able to stop those men before they were able to penetrate the area and shoot anyone else," Harn said.
Police also searched the men's car but found no explosives or other weapons, according to Harn.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott said Monday that he has instructed state officials to investigate any potential ties between the shooters and terrorist groups."
