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.

    and on the rare occasion one is around they tend to make things worse, accidentally kill innocent bystanders, or react with fear and panic just like most everyone else.

    That's a big part of why training seems to be inversely related to how often a good guy with a gun fires their weapon. For example, a Marine with a pistol was at the Gabrielle Giffords shooting, and never even drew his weapon because he understood the risks of firing into the crowd. Whereas a wannabe vigilante shot up a parking lot trying to hit a shoplifter just a couple of weeks ago.
