The American Freedom Defense Initiative said it specifically picked the venue, a school district-owned facility, because it hosted an event denouncing Islamophobia in January.
The Sunday night event invited cartoonists to send in caricatures of Mohammed. The group said it received more than 350 submissions. The winning entry would get $10,000.
There were about 200 people at the event, police said.
"Most of the people who were there were from out of state," Athas said.
Security was tight. The school district brought in extra officers, and the group itself hired several more. Security costs, the group said, were upwards of $30,000.
Only those who purchased tickets ahead of time were admitted. They had to go through metal detectors.
"We were prepared for something like this," Harn said.

It kinda seems like the whole thing was bait intentionally set up to create this scenario. Geert Wilders is icing on the cake. Well mission accomplished, I think.
