Same story, family tragedy

What a fvckin idiot.  An illegal gun, wrapped in a pair of old pajamas and the left on top of a fridge. Then he shows the 6 year old where it is......

Trace all these guns back to source and prosecute anyone (as accessories to murder) along the line who violated protocol

The NRA and Republicans are the ones standing in the way of such common sense traceability.

Indeed. You hit the nail on the head.

One thing that people don't seem to realize , and its staring them in the face, is the connection between gun control and US foreign policy. The same mentality reigns.

Donald Trump, nothing but a p***k, taking advantage of the horror in paris to preach no need for gun control to americans. What a pathetic example of a human being.

Does he with the orange bird's nest on his head know that, according to Slate.com, over 80,000 Americans have died from guns since Sandy Hook.  So, does he want even more French to die, that ass.

Another tragic shooting in California.

Police are attending a shooting in California, with reports of 20 victims.

The San Bernardino Fire Department tweeted that it was responding to a "20 victim shooting incident" and it was working to clear the scene.

It is still a "very active scene" and police are trying to secure the building, said a spokeswoman from the San Bernardino Police Department.

There may be up to three gunmen she said, and the shooters were heavily armed and possibly wearing body armour.

She did not confirm the number of victims.

A local reporter tweeted that people are being evacuated from the Inland Regional Center, a non-profit medical and health organisation.

One report saying 15 dead and 25 injured. Still going on. Up to 3 shooters in a building in San Bernadino.

Why is there this never ending supply of crackpots who want to become infamous?

I have no idea who the shooters are, or the victims, but this is a terrible way to go.

RIP.

Reports saying it was a disgruntled county worker.

The building he opened fire on was a centre for people with learning disabilities.

As this news came through on the internet, I was in the middle of watching the debate ongoing in Parliament on going to war
in Syria against ISIS. Passionate speeches for going to war, no matter what the cost, human or financially.

Yet in the US, thousands are been killed in shootings every year, and the country is awash with guns.

Sadly, the NRA hold too much power in Washington, and too many US citizens are against gun control.

Until both sides change, this thread will; go on and on for years with news stories just like this and the ones before.

May those killed rest in peace
next stop, September 10, for number 4......

Reports saying that multiple shooters involved.

Tweets of police scanners saying number 1 suspect is a Farooq Saeed

Info which of course should be taken with caution.

Obama issued strongly worded statement after last week's Colorado shooting. There's not much more for him to say after this one.

Multiple shooters in 'tactical gear'. Police detonated some device as well apparently.
Doesn t sound like the usual local nut job.

Are people in the media required to think before they put up a tweet from their news station?
