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.

    > According to a study by Newsweek magazine,

    Too bad the guy can't be arsed to actually provide a link to the study. All he does is link to the newsweek website's home page. If he were serious he'd have sources to back up his claims rather than make the critical thinkers work to prove him right. Frankly, if he can't be arsed to show his work, I can't be arsed to trust him.

    I gave you a touche point, but I wish I could take it back. Yeah, there was one lazy attribution to Newsweek (accompanied by the relevant issue date in plain text), but most of the assertions are taken from Kleck and Gertz, as published in the Northwestern University School of Law, Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology, vol. 86, issue 1, 1995, article titled Armed Resistance to Crime: The Prevalence and Nature of Self-Defense with a Gun [guncite.com].

    Cut them some slack on the attribution, please.
