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.

  Add to that: owning a gun is pretty useless without adequate training. And that doesn't just mean training in how to fire the gun itself. If protecting the country from foreign invaders and an oppressive Federal government were the real objectives then the solution would be to form state-run militias with a chain of command and financial support that did not extend into Federal institutions at all. That said:

  We haven't. Ever. (We did the invading...)

  You might like to talk to some Canadians about that some time. Ask them why the Whitehouse is white...
