No Longer Active Shooter Reported In San Bernadino, Calif.

Well I think AO certainly deserves to be part of the conversation.

The San Bernardino county sheriff has confirmed the presence of an active shooter near the 1300 block of S. Waterman in San Bernardino, CA. At least 12 people are dead, with another 20 reportedly injured.

The city’s Fire Department says on Twitter that they’ve recieved reports indicating as many as 20 people were shot. A SWAT team appears to be on the scene and emergency crews are reportedly setting up a triage center near the city’s convention center and other patients appear to be receiving treatment on a local golf course.

At least 12 people are confirmed dead and Los Angeles’ FOX 11 reports cops are currently searching for “3 white males dressed in military gear.”

Witnesses say the men had masks on and may have been wearing body armor, ABC reports. They were armed with rifles and “came into the office and started shooting,” according to WJZ.

The shooting apparently began at the Inland Regional Center, a nonprofit organization that works with developmentally disabled people. There appears to be a Planned Parenthood building located in the same area, though there are currently no indications that it’s connected to the shooting in any way.

It is still an active scene and San Bernardino police have reportedly asked news outlets not to show the building (pictured below) until the investigation has concluded.

Is he one of the shooters?!

12 dead, gunmen in stand-off with swat. Looks like another gun-free zone.

If you are going to make a thread about this at least post more information.

We don't even know where

Now is not the time to discuss gun control.

It seems like it's never the right time since these things happen weekly in the US.

What do we speculate?

Angry conservatives, mental illness, or the religion of peace?

We don't even know where or why and you're already popping off with pro-gun bs... I have high hopes for this thread...

Angry about Handicap Parking.

That info is pretty relevant to the developing situation even if it has some political nature.

If those 20 people had guns we would have 1 dead shooter instead of 12 dead victims.

LOL right? Hard to imagine that some people actually believe this!

If there were mass stabbings as often as there were mass shootings and everyone carried a knife in response. Then there would just be more stabbings than before.

Pretty simple emotional logic. That people make poor choices and having access to a deadly weapon 24/7 isn't the best thing.

I mean who among us hasn't lost count how many times we've almost boiled over because of that.

Now is not the time to discuss gun control.

For simplifying the argument.
If there were no guns in this world then all these random amounts of people simply going about their day. Then all these innocent bystanders simply going about their lives wouldn't be killed every damn month.
