14 dead in San Bernardino shooting; terrorism link is unclear (Christmas Party Targeted )
Los Angeles Times ^ | 12/2/15 | Richard A. Serrano, Veronica Rocha , Joseph Serna and Paloma EsquivelContact Reporters

The assailants who attacked a San Bernardino office building Wednesday morning killed at least 14 people and left another 14 wounded, the city's police chief said.

They may have opened fire on a holiday party being held by county employees, federal law enforcement sources and a witness told the Los Angeles Times.

A person who was inside the building also told The Times that the shooting may have happened during a holiday party, but declined to be identified or comment further.

The shooting took place in a building that is open to the public, Nelson said.

Federal law enforcement sources, who requested anonymity because the investigation is active and ongoing, told The Times that the group holding the party, rather than the center, may have been targeted.

Ski masks are a dead giveaway that they're Scandinavian.

Couldn’t be Scandinavians. Vikings favor axes and broadswords.

The first reports were that they were caucasian. Maybe this is morphing depending on opinion rather than fact.

One thing that looks suspicious is that this appears to be a targeted attack. There is no high profile business to be targeted. This was a Christmas party for third party county employees taking place. That is a pretty unique event and it could be known to the shooters. The location is also close to two separate freeways (the I-215 and the I-10).

CNN is showing a black SUV that is all shot up, and police surrounding the area. If it’s the suspects and their vehicle Shep SMITH will probably bitch because it took so long and the police didn’t tell him personally what they were doing. SMITH is a disgrace.

The location being given is the intersection of San Bernadino Avenue and Cooly Avenue.

In the article they are interviewing a surviving witness. The witness said they came in and started shouting. What did they shout? Hi? My bet is the reporter knows what was shouted, but it doesn't fit the narrative.....

It’s being reported that they have a suspect down. I’m not sure where, but it must be in the area of San Bernandino Ave and Cooly Ave.

Breaking on CNN is that one suspect is dead and the police are in a standoff with others.

Could it be they were after one specific person there for a specific reason, and killed a bunch of people to cover the motive?

Sounds like the typical Clinton modus operandus when they order a hit.

I grew up in San Bernardino and have family there, including a brother who is mentally retarded. Luckily, he was never a client there so he’s fine. I have another friend whose son is autistic and goes there for treatment. She was just railing on FB about the bureaucracy she faces at that facility and how she wouldn’t be surprised if it was a disgruntled employee or family member of a client who was the shooter. She was also a big proponent of Obama Care, so I pointed out to her that that was the future of healthcare in America if we allow single payer to be implemented.

Who says they shouted anything? This doesn’t smell right for a terrorist attack to me. These guys seem like pros on a mission. I’m guessing they were after someone specific and shot up everyone else to cover the motive. We may know more if they have captured or killed them or most of them.

The windshield wipers on the suspect vehicle are on intermittent.

It wouldn’t surprise me if further investigation finds one of the victims had dealings with organized crime. We should have more of an idea when they ID the dead perps.
