    Its San Bernardino's turn today. Reports of between one and three shooters. Its at the stage now that I don't think gun controls will be of any use in the US.

    Good thing the militia is well regulated. I can only imagine the amount of deaths there'd be if they just didn't regulate the militia at all. They'd end up killing each other rather than securing the free state.

    If they armed everyone and trained them to use the guns, this won't ever happen again.

    I glanced at Reddit and reports are confused but generally include 3 shooters with rifles, wearing vests. Seems to be at a facility for people with learning disabilities but people are also suggesting it is close to a Planned Parenthood. The bomb squad is there attending to a device. The police on the scanner seem to be discussing hostages or people who are otherwise trapped in a building. Pretty desperate situation.

    Could be christian terrorists again. Didn't they shoot up an abortion clinic a few days back?

    The most shocking thing to me is how numb I am to the whole thing. If this happened anywhere else in the world it would be a 'holy sh*t' moment. But because it's America and has become so regular over there it's just another one on the list.

    Sad but true unfortunately, this seems to be a regular occurrence in the US.

    Sounds like a terrorist effort if there's three of them.

    It has nothing to do with planned parenthood, there just happens to be one nearby.

    3 shooters and possible explosive devices sounds a bit more organized than the usual 'lone wolf' scenario seen in the US

    true, lone wolf is much more typical.

    Three shooters confirmed by the authorities. Seemingly it's a centre that deals with people of development disabilities that is being attacked.

    But if everyone was Armed this would never have happened. More guns solves gun Crime.

    More guns prevents gun violence, gotta love America and their logic regarding guns.. Something really needs to change or this will go on and on and on.

    Cops have mentioned that one of the suspects was run through PD (Police Department?) system last week. What I find crazy is that this keeps happening; it was the same in France, where one of the terrorists was known already to the authorities.

    Reports of "man down".

    Code 4 (No further assistance needed) on detained person.

    Apparently some police units are having trouble getting to the scene because of vehicular and pedestrian traffic. Put on the news a few minutes ago and the overhead shot was showing a road totally blocked with seemingly abandoned cars. What is wrong with people?!

    Suspects described as middle eastern or Hispanic males.

    What do you really expect people to do when they are in the area with three people shooting at random people? I mean, if it were me, I'd get out of my car and run the hell away.

    There have been 350+ mass shooting in the US so far this year. I got this crazy feeling that these mass shootings would stop if we took away everyone's guns, maybe that's just me though.
