Texas shooting suspect had ties to Islamic jihad

An Arizona man with links to Islamic jihad and his roommate were identified Monday as the attackers killed by police outside a suburban Dallas gathering that featured cartoon depictions of the prophet Mohammed. Federal authorities who declined to be identified because they were not authorized to discuss the case identified the suspects killed outside the exhibit in Garland, Texas, as Elton Simpson
and Nadir Soofi. “The two gunmen who were involved in the shooting in Dallas ... were determined to be from Phoenix,” Assistant Special Agent in Charge John Lannarelli said as federal investigators searched the pair’s north Phoenix apartment. The pair were fatally shot Sunday night by a traffic officer — an act that probably saved the lives of many, police said. One of the attackers had been convicted of terrorism-related charges in 2011 after telling an FBI informant he wanted to kill non-Muslims. Garland police spokesman Joe Harn said the officer who killed both attackers was a traffic cop who “did what he was trained to do.” A security guard, who was not armed, was shot in the leg. “Under the fire he was put un-
der, he did a very good job and probably saved lives,” Harn said of the officer who fired his duty pistol. “We think their strategy was to get into the event center, but they were not able to get past the outer perimeter.” The Muhammad Art Exhibit event at the Curtis Culwell Center was coming to a close Sunday night when the suspects drove up to a parking lot entrance blocked by a patrol car. Wearing body armor, the suspects got out of their car and started shooting with assault rifles, Harn said. Simpson, 30, is believed to be the man who tweeted several ominous messages before the shooting using the hashtag #texasattack. Simpson was indicted in January 2010 for lying to the FBI in a terrorism investigation when he told federal inves-
tigators he had not discussed traveling to Somalia to engage in “violent jihad,” federal court papers show. He was convicted a year later and sentenced to three years probation. The attorney who defended him, Kristina Sitton, said he “never seemed dangerous.” In a statement, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said the attack “serves as a reminder that free and protected speech, no matter how offensive to some, never justifies violence.” A group called the American Freedom Defense Initiative hosted the Muhammad Art Exhibit and $10,000 cartoon contest. A keynote speaker was Dutch politician Geert Wilders, leader of the right-wing Party of Freedom, who has advocated a ban on the Quran.
Mexican officials: CEO died of head trauma, blood loss Reports say Goldberg injured on treadmill Marco della Cava USA TODAY
Dave Goldberg, husband of Facebook chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg, died from accidental blunt force trauma while exercising, according to Mexican officials. The tech veteran was vacationing in Mexico with his wife and two children and died Friday at age 47. Quoting an unnamed official SAN FRANCISCO
with the prosecutor’s office in the Mexican state of Nayarit, The New York Times reported Monday that Goldberg died of head trauma and blood loss while working out on a treadmill at the Four Seasons Resort in Punta Mita, just north of the vacation town of Puerto Vallarta. Officials at the Four Seasons Resort declined to confirm the report or whether Goldberg was staying there. Goldberg was a beloved Silicon Valley veteran and CEO of SurveyMonkey, which he had grown from a small shop to a venturebacked start-up valued at $2 billion. The impact of his sudden

The panel, hosted by USA TODAY tech reporter Jefferson Graham, now will also focus on remembering Goldberg. It remains unknown who will succeed Goldberg at the helm of SurveyMonkey. And Facebook has yet to indicate Sandberg’s immediate plans. Goldberg married Sandberg in 2004. Neither SurveyMonkey nor Facebook responded to requests for comment.
