It started as a Social Services office, from what i heard. Anyone verify?
Yes its a social services office and also has an adult education building that helps the disabled
So, a vulnerable government agency in which no one carries guns for their job. Interesting.
Yes, I google maped the address then looked up the building
Why would anyone shoot up this place?

Services Provided By Regional Centers
Regional centers provide diagnosis and assessment of eligibility and help plan, access, coordinate and monitor the services and supports that are needed because of a developmental disability. There is no charge for the diagnosis and eligibility assessment.
Once eligibility is determined, a case manager or service coordinator is assigned to help develop a plan for services, tell you where services are available, and help you get the services. Most services and supports are free regardless of age or income.
There is a requirement for parents to share the cost of 24-hour out-of-home placements for children under age 18. This share depends on the parents’ ability to pay. For further information, see Parental Fee Program. There may also be a co-payment requirement for other selected services. For further information, see Family Cost Participation Program.
Some of the services and supports provided by the regional centers include:
Information and referral
Assessment and diagnosis
Counseling
Lifelong individualized planning and service coordination
Purchase of necessary services included in the individual program plan
Resource development
Outreach
Assistance in finding and using community and other resources
Advocacy for the protection of legal, civil and service rights
Early intervention services for at risk infants and their families
Genetic counseling
Family support
Planning, placement, and monitoring for 24-hour out-of-home care

Information about Programs and Services
The Department of Developmental Services is responsible for designing and coordinating a wide array of services for California residents with developmental disabilities. Regional centers help plan, access, coordinate and monitor these services and supports.
A Person-Centered Planning approach is used in making decisions regarding where a person with developmental disabilities will live and the kinds of services and supports that may be needed. In person-centered planning, everyone who uses regional center services has a planning team that includes the person utilizing the services, family members, regional center staff and anyone else who is asked to be there by the individual. The team joins together to make sure that the services that people are getting are supporting their choices in where they want to live, how and with whom they choose to spend the day, and hopes and dreams for the future.
