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.

    You need to learn some geography too. It's not the guns. The USA has oceans on both sides making it harder to invade for most countries. Even the Germans had a bit of difficulty invading Britain over such a "small stretch of water" (and it wasn't easy for the allies for the other way around: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invasion_of_Normandy [wikipedia.org] ).

    There's a big difference between having a sea/ocean vs just land.

    When those in Canada decided to invade the USA they managed to get all the way through and burn Washington: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burning_of_Washington [wikipedia.org]

    The Nazis went quite deep into Russia despite the Russians having lots of guns at that time. Which is probably why Russia is still has problems and paranoia about "buffer zones": https://www.stratfor.com/analysis/geopolitics-russia-permanent-struggle [stratfor.com]
