The board president and CEO of a center that provides services to people with disabilities said the fatal mass shooting that happened there Wednesday occurred in a large conference room that had been rented to a healthcare provider.
Marybeth Feild, who was not inside the building at the time, said she received numerous calls from employees who told her three shooters went into the room, which holds up to 200 people, and opened fire.
... Feild said the conference room was decorated for a holiday party at the time of the shooting. She said she was working to identify the healthcare provider that had rented the room, the largest in the building.
Feild said there were no prior incidents to indicate something like the shooting would happen. She said she handles all complaints and threats made to the center. There were none before the shooting, she said.
In 2010, parents and care providers criticized the center, alleging it ignored children’s needs, the San Bernardino Sun reported. The center was accused for appearing to show favoritism regarding vendor rates.
Employees filed a civil lawsuit against the center alleging they were retaliated against for advocating for patients, the Sun reported.

Where’s dougFromUpland? this is in his backyard ...
If these turn out to be white teapartiers, get ready for a celebration in the press like you’ve never seen.
I seriously doubt this is workplace violence or disgruntled activists.
I guess the shooters aren’t happy with their obamacare plans
I saw him on the longer thread.
Ping
Link on Drudge stated “unconfirmed” talk that the men were of “middle eastern descent”. However, when you read the target link, all references to such statements are missing. Don’t know if they were ever there, but I’d suspect a media mop up job already in full swing. I’m wondering how long it’ll be before we get any sort of accurate information. I sure hope it ends in right when they find the bastard(s).
Bernie Sanders fans.
I suppose the shooters could have targeted the group and tried to frame ISIS. I just doubt it.
One doesn't expect the "board chairman and CEO" to have all the room usage data in her head, but surely a secretary could pull up the calendar and find the information in seconds.
Same MO as Paris....more or less.
Don't be surprised if there's another soft target in their crosshairs.
On the longer thread someone said the police scanner info was they were looking for someone named Farooq Saeed.
“If these turn out to be white teapartiers....”
Actual Tea Party people NEVER commit murder!!
No credible threat my a**.
Thanks
Yep. I’ve been in the area many times -— it’s about a half hour away. Bad memory from many years ago. The golf course across the street is where I lost my dad to a massive heart attack.
It's very common for the number and ethnicity of shooters to be incorrectly reported.
If this is really three shooters, and if they had an escape plan, and if they - ahead of time - chose a soft target during a scheduled meeting in an auditorium, this begins to resemble Paris.
