I honestly believe that was the shooting to start the end of all shootings. A lot of people have changed their views on guns ever since what happened. Here's hoping that it has a positive effect in the end. ^_^

Yeah, I suppose that too. Changes are being made but there will be more. No doubt about it. I know that's morbid thinking but it's the truth. But, like you said, let's hope that this is going to be the start of the end :)

When will this end?

 

Police are searching for up to three gunmen who killed at least 14 people at a social services centre in San Bernardino, California.

 

Officers said there were also 17 wounded in the attack at the Inland Regional Center, which helps adults with disabilities.

 

The gunmen, wearing military-style clothing, entered the building and opened fire before fleeing in a black SUV.

 

Witnesses said people locked themselves in offices as the gunfire rang out.

 

Four hours after the attack, police surrounded a dark SUV with its windows shot out on a residential street in the city.

 

Police have not confirmed whether the incident is related to the shooting, but an officer said one person had been killed at that scene.

 

The attack took place in a conference area where the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health was holding a social event, said Maybeth Field, the centre's president.

 

FBI officials said they do not yet know if it was a terrorist attack but local police said it might have been domestic terrorism.

 

"I think what they are getting at there, following the Paris attacks, is that they do not have any direct suggestion at this stage that this is an Islamist-style terrorist attack," said the BBC's James Cook who is at the scene. "Rather, if it is a terrorist attack it is perhaps some kind if home-grown terrorist attack here in the US."

 

He said that buses filled with people were being driven away from the scene, while the surrounding buildings remained closed with workers still sheltering inside.

 

One man received a text from his daughter that said she was hiding inside the building, where she works.

 

Terry Petit told reporters his daughter wrote to him: "People shot. In the office waiting for cops. Pray for us. I am locked in an office."

 

President Barack Obama has responded to the shooting.

 

"One thing we do know is that we have a pattern of mass shootings in this country that has no parallel anywhere in the world," he said.

 

"There are some steps that we could take, not to eliminate all incidents, but to make sure they happen less frequently."

 

The shooting happened less than a week after a shooting at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado left three people dead and nine people wounded.
