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

From the BBC:

Fire officials in San Bernardino said it was responding to a "20 victim shooting incident" and it was working to clear the scene.

ABC News reports that there are 12 people dead but police have not confirmed that number.

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

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

    Oh - first thing wrong with that "study" - they're including every murder in which 4 people are killed. That includes domestic violence, and about 70% of the "mass murders" are domestic violence. While abhorrent, these acts are most definitely NOT the "mass murder" situations commonly referred to in these headlines. Domestic violence is targeted at specific individuals, first and foremost.

    Coincidentally they excluded 70% of the mass murders because they weren't in public spaces.

    You proven yourself out matched before you even got started. Such is the arrogance of ignorance.
