Mass Shooting in California, 20 victims

Postby Fartsniffage » Wed Dec 02, 2015 12:52 pm

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-34987697

Police are attending a shooting in California, with reports of 20 victims.

The San Bernardino Fire Department tweeted that it was responding to a "20 victim shooting incident" and it was working to clear the scene.
It is still a "very active scene" and police are trying to secure the building, said a spokeswoman from the San Bernardino Police Department.
There may be up to three gunmen she said, and the shooters were heavily armed and possibly wearing body armour.
She did not confirm the number of victims.

A local reporter tweeted that people are being evacuated from the Inland Regional Center, a non-profit medical and health organisation.
People are being seen wheeled away on stretchers with medics and police officers in attendance.
Representatives from the FBI and the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms are on the scene.
No arrests have been made yet.
An ABC affiliate tweeted that there are 12 fatalities, but police have not confirmed that number.


Another mass shooting in the US, breaking news so details are a bit sketchy. I'll update the OP as more becomes available.

3 shooters wearing body armour really seems to point at some kind of terrorism type event in my mind but this is all super early stuff.

What the hell is going on over there?

Thoughts go out to all police and victims.

Something like this. People are angry, they're trying to resolve that anger by killing or maiming people they view as the cause of their anger.

It's as old as humanity, we just happen to have more opportunity per capita to use guns to accomplish the killing and maiming.

NBC is reporting the gunmen are surrendering and being apprehended by police.

That is truly saddening. I have some friends over in California, what a terrible thing to happen there. At this point on, it could be anyone. Although previous events would incite me to think it's the act of a few madmen, recent events and the "heavily armored" part makes me think of the Paris attack, in which case it'd be something way more serious.

NBC reporting there could be anywhere from 1 to 3 gunmen, dressed in military garb. Body armor, most likely kevlar. Don't know where it was sourced from.

Update: Surrounding citizens being lead to staging area, police and highway patrol redirecting family members away from the scene.

Update 2: 22 victims being triaged by emergency personnell. No reported deaths, most wounds are leg and upper body wounds.

No indication of who it was and no groups have claimed responsibility.

Most guns there are from mexican cartels, not bought by citizens in-state. Cali gun laws are quite stringent.
