Less than a week after the last mass shooting, authorities in San Bernardino, California, are responding to another active shooter in what looks to be yet another mass shooting in America.
The San Bernardino Sun reports authorities have responded to an active shooter situation near the Inland Regional Center where city fire officials say 15 to 20 people have been wounded. According to the local ABC News affiliate, the Inland Regional Center serves people with developmental disabilities although the center’s website appears to have crashed.
Dozens of people are currently being evacuated from the center and ABC News has confirmed that there are three active shooters who have yet to be apprehended. The bomb squad is also reportedly on the scene:
Virginia Tech, Sandy Hook, San Bernardino. Most fatalities in a mass shooting since 1992. Today is now the 3rd worst mass killing since '92.
