Another day, another senseless tragedy in America saw at least 14 people killed and left at least 17 wounded yesterday, in San Bernardino, California. Police believe that two alleged shooters opened fire around 11 a.m. at the Inland Regional Center. They were armed with assault rifles and came in with a clear mission. After walking into a meeting room and shooting up the room, the two would flee the scene and hours later the police found what they believed to be the getaway car nearby in the city of Redlands, California.
Police later identified the suspects as Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik. The police went to a residence in Redlands, when a black SUV would speed off, starting a police chase that ended with a gunfight. The two suspects were found dead in the vehicle, strapped with two assault rifles and two-semi automatic handguns. In addition to the two deceased suspects, a third suspect was seen running from the scene at the Inland Regional Center and has been detained by the police.

Investigators are still trying to determine a motive, but have not ruled out terrorism.
San Bernardino Police Chief Jarrod Burguan said the following.
“We have no information at this point to indicate that this is terrorist related in the traditional sense that people may be thinking. Obviously at minimum we have a domestic terrorist type situation that occurred here,” Burguan said.
Here’s some 911 audio from yesterday’s tragedy.
More info will come out on this situation, but our prayers go out to all those impacted by this senseless tragedy.
How many senseless killings must there be before anyone who knows or may have seen a warning sign coming & could’ve possibly stop this from happening. The holidays have become gruesome within the last 5yrs.
