San Bernardino: Two suspects killed after mass shooting

 

Multiple fatalities and injuries in San Bernardino, Calif., shooting as police seek active shooters.

Up to 14 people died and up to 17 were injured in a mass shooting Wednesday in San Bernardino, Calif., and police later shot and killed one male and one female suspect in the attack.
The mass shooting occurred at Inland Regional Center, which serves people with developmental disabilities in the community about 50 miles east of Los Angeles, SBPD Chief Jarrod Burguan said in a televised news conference. Workers were apparently gathered for a party or some other function when the shooting started.
The suspects used long guns and “acted like they were on a mission” during the attack, Burguan said. The suspects escaped the shooting site in a dark-colored SUV.

Officers followed a tip to a residence in nearby Redlands, Calif., and saw a vehicle believed to be driven by the suspects leaving the residence, Burguan said. A pursuit ensued that ended in a shootout that killed two suspects, an unidentified man and woman, and injured one officer who was expected to survive.
“They were dressed in kind of assault-style clothing,” Burguan said of the deceased suspects in a second news conference Wednesday, adding that they were both armed with assault weapons and handguns.
A third person seen running from the area was eventually detained after a search.
David Bowdich, who heads the local FBI office, said that he could not yet term the attack “terrorism.”
“It is a possibility, but we do not know that yet,” Bowdich said at the news conference.
The FBI was assisting with the investigation at three locations: The Inland Regional Center, the site of the police-involved shooting, and the residence in Redlands.
“This is truly a tragedy in our country,” Bowdich said.
