At least one active shooter in San Bernardino, California on Wednesday has reportedly left multiple victims including some fatalities, but little is known about the extent of the injuries, the motive behind the attack, or the number of assailants.
The San Bernardino Fire Department said on Twitter that its units are responding to "reports of 20 victim shooting incident" and currently working to "clear the scene."
According to NPR, the incident is "unfolding at the Inland Regional Center, which is part of the California Department of Developmental Services and serves people with developmental disabilities."
"For the past 44 years, Inland Regional Center's qualified and supportive employees strive daily to serve more than 31,000 individuals with developmental disabilities in San Bernardino and Riverside counties," the facility's website states. "As the largest of the regional centers in the State of California, Inland Regional Center is a nonprofit, private community-based agency that is proud to help obtain services and support for our constituents."
Authorities have shut down roads near the area. CBS Los Angeles has live updates on the unfolding situation here while reports and updates are being posted to Twitter:
We are at a crossroads
This country and this world are at a monumental crossroads. In a few short weeks, US voters will have an opportunity to beat back the forces of fascism and confront the billionaires who are rigging the economy, our media system, and our democracy, making it increasingly impossible for ordinary people to get by. We’re not just talking about the election. We’re talking about what must be done once these fascist elements are vanquished from power. We need a bolder set of solutions than what either major party has so far been willing to offer and a working-class movement ready to fight like hell for it. Trump didn't emerge from nowhere. The conditions that fueled MAGA authoritarianism were created by decades of radical neoliberal economic policies and a corrupt political system dominated by corporate interests. They slashed taxes on the super-rich, promising that the benefits would trickle down. They said giveaways to the corporate titans would make life more affordable for the rest of us. It was all bullshit. And when a bitter, betrayed populace searches for someone to blame, right-wing demagogues have little trouble finding scapegoats. People know when they're being lied to, but you won't hear any of this from the corporate media. Only independent journalism—powered and funded by people who believe in building a better world—can deliver truly trustworthy daily news. Our Fall Campaign is underway, and we need your help. To power our newsroom through the rest of the year, we need to raise $125,000 by midnight on October 31. So if you share our vision, please contribute whatever you can to sustain our work. |
