Jarrod Burguan, Chief of Police
Multiple suspects are the run after killing 14 people and wounding 14 others at a center that serves those with developmental disabilities in San Bernadino, CA.
The FBI is on the scene and can’t confirm or deny that this is a terrorist incident. Police Chief Jarrod Burguan confirmed the deaths and fatalities.
The shootings were in the conference center at the Inland Regional Center, the center’s executive director, Lavinia Johnson, told CNN. She believes the county’s Department of Public Health was having a holiday party there. Johnson said the fire alarm went off in her building, and people began to evacuate but then the order came to stay in place. Later police came and took people out of their offices.

Children were shot at Sandy Hook, and nothing changed. A center for people with people developmental disabilities was attacked, and now is the time for people to stand up and demand that action is taken to reduce the number of mass shootings.
