Both gunmen were reportedly shot and killed by police after they shot at an officer. The officer was later released from the hospital. Police had yet to release a motive in the shooting as of Sunday night.

The free speech event was planned by Pamela Geller, president of the American Freedom Defense Initiative, and included a contest for cartoon depictions of the Prophet Muhammad.

Gellar said the event was intended to promote free speech in the wake of violent attacks over depictions of Muhammad.
