Fatalities confirmed in San Bernardino shooting; police search for black SUV

Source: Los Angeles Times

Police are now searching for a black sport utility vehicle that fled the scene of a mass shooting that left up to 20 people injured inside of a San Bernardino social services office on Wednesday morning, federal law enforcement sources told the Los Angeles Times.

A San Bernardino police spokeswoman also confirmed there "are fatalities," but was unsure of how many people had been killed.

At least three suspected shooters fled the building after gunfire erupted, according to the sources, who requested anonymity because the investigation is active and ongoing.

It is unclear whether the people inside the vehicle are witnesses or suspects.

20. I remember flying into the DC area at the very height of the shootings.

There was a shooting the morning before my flight left.

While I was there, I was super paranoid about every white van I saw (not knowing the shooters were actually driving a blue sedan).

There were no shootings when I was there; however, I remember when I was flying out during the evening, I looked down at the area around Northern Virginia and thinking that the shooters were probably down there somewhere but I felt powerless knowing I couldn't stop them.

Then as soon as I got in late that night, I saw reports of another shooting. In Northern Virginia. Around that same time that I was flying out. It was eerie.

sources and a witness told the Los Angeles Times...

The shooters, wearing camouflage and masks, left up to 20 people injured and several dead after gunfire erupted around 11 a.m...A San Bernardino police spokeswoman also confirmed there "are fatalities," but was unsure of how many people had been killed.

I was hoping there weren't as many as twelve, but I guess they're just frog-boiling us. On the other hand, the reported circumstances of the shooting suggest that the patients weren't the target and the suspects were familiar with the office routine.

Brought to you by the GOP and NRA. White men with guns encouraged by Fox News and hate radio. It seems like this has become a weekly occurrence. Just last Friday we set a new record for single day gun sales! This is madness!
The President will now take action I believe, I hope he can take steps to end this terror. I believe there should be a moratorium on gun and ammunition sales until Congress gets its collective head out of the ass of the NRA and passes common sense reforms to make sure this doesn't happen over and over.

After Newtown I always feared the next massacre would be more vulnerable people,
it's as if we can't be certain of how to protect them any longer. Obama has stressed
again, this is not happening with this frequency anywhere else. Maybe we have
finally reached the tipping point.

Woman news reader says something about the PP shooter, hairdo news reader guy says that hasn't been confirmed that he was antiabortion. Then hairdo guy says President Obama is politicizing this shooting when they were getting ready to show a clip of the president commenting on it.

I'm only 30 and I've accepted that this is simply part of American culture.
This is just the way it is.
Is this really the best we can do as a country?
This is pathetic.
