Reports are coming in that at least 14 people have died and at least 14 others were wounded when one to three assailants opened fire at a facility that serves people with developmental disabilities.
There are more questions than answers (as there always is when an event like this unfolds). This doesn’t seem to fit the pattern of a lone guy on a suicidal mission. Initial reports are of multiple shooters “armed with long guns,” Police Chief Jarrod Burguan told reporters. “These were people that came prepared. … They were armed with long guns, not hand guns.”
Here are are some additional updates and POV’s from Twitter:
“This isn’t like normal mass shootings”. That the term ‘normal mass shootings’ even exists is the worst part of this. #SanBernadino

Politicians everywhere are so similar.Everyone’s ‘heart’ ‘breaks’ each time there is a #shooting, few willing to do something substantive — Raza Ahmad Rumi (@Razarumi) December 2, 2015
