This is a developing news story, more to follow.
Astonishing that it takes longer than 10s to neutralize an active shooter on a military base...

I’m guessing that the Sun UK got confused between EDT and PDT, but states that the ‘shooter’ is in custody of SB sheriff deputies, as it says in custody at 11am which is 3 hours from now.

Unarmed soldiers on base, seems very stupid to me...
Whatever historical reason there may have been for it, is lost now. We are at war with Islam, and we are soon going to have a hot Civil War.
Shelter in place.....on a military base!
I just talked to my son who is stationed at 29 Palms.
He heard about it, but seems to think it’s no big deal.
Could have just been a negligent discharge. He did not say he had to shelter in place.
The general discussion in his unit is the media could be making a big deal out of nothing, but they don’t know.
So the suspect is in custody, but they haven’t released any info on who it is? No name or race/ethnicity? It’s been 3 hours since they’ve had them in custody. Why the delay in releasing info?
I just heard from my son.
It was a suicide with a gun. No active shooter situation.
