A Note From Tammy Swofford, Who Covered The Mohammed Art Exhibition in Garland, Texas

AOW,
Thank you for being my life line, phone buddy - for this long night.

City of Irving SWAT helped Garland cover this event.

The two men were on foot at the point they were stopped with lethal force.

We were moved in convoy from the event center with escort due to fear of a "second wave" type attack. I am not going to give out the information on where we were staged for our second secure location.

I shared a taxi with Pamela Geller's photographer for the event and am out a hundred bucks for that lil' venture. Hopefully tomorrow all attendees can return and pick up our vehicles. It is still an active crime scene.

Geert Wilders was a marvelous speaker on Freedom of Expression. I did not realize he was so eloquent. 

I was part of a much larger media configuration: CNN, CBS, Brietbart and Daily Beast were part of the crowd which I mingled with tonight.

It is 12:25 a.m. I am tired and hungry.

But I do not regret attending this event, albeit the results could have been much worse. Approximately a dozen individuals were heading to their cars when the attack was initiated. One older lady was quite overcome with emotion. Overall, we held up fairly well.
