It's interesting that gun deaths in America receive more coverage and outrage on here than the civilians killed as a consequence of conflicts.

Police are attending a shooting at a social services facility for disabled people in California.

Fire officials in San Bernardino said 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 police spokeswoman.

There may be up to three gunmen, she said, and they were heavily armed and possibly wearing body armour.

She did not confirm the number of victims.
 
It's a bit unusual this one. Three people operating together. They've got away.
 
A truely shameful post.

Still short on detail, as far as I can gather; but it doesn't seem to have stopped some.
They are saying that they think there is a police chase with the suspects right now. Not sure how much your news is covering it. They are showing video of a suv the cops have just shot up in a housing area.

It's a bit of a night, Ellewoods. We have our key focus of the parliamentary vote to support bombing in Syria (passed, unfortunately), then up pops your shooting, a very sad state of affairs. Does it seem like there is some sort of a coincidence of killing around health/well-being centers (sic) ?

There are a lot of problems at health/well being centers which is why they normally have a heavy police presence. Infact that area has 1 mass shooting drill a month just to prepare for this which was actually today as well. I have never heard of anything happening like this though with so many shooters and actually trying to get away.
