Given the number of military-equipped gangs in California, specifically in San Bernardino? I'm surprised they don't all drive Abrams.

another mass shooting? it must be Wednesday.
Can we just make a common thread "mass shootings in the US" it would save space, rather than having two threads going on at the same time.
cue Obama to say what a tragedy it is, cue the NRA to blame mentally unstable people. outrage by the american people, elected officials throw their hands up and shrug saying there's nothing we can do. and done.

LEO are really quiet about this.
I hope this is not a ISIS inspired attack to go with the Paris one.
Edit
Was a fire fight at the stop. Has the feel they were going to die they were going out shooting.
Seems "two" is still on the loose

I find it sad that so much gun violence occurs, that you can't know if it's a terrorist attack, or just more americans shooting up the place.

This has more of a Boston bomber type vibe to it. Gunfire instead of explosives but the rest of it seems to be going down a similar path.

At least one perp dead on street, and one in the SUV. SUV has SWAT trying to figure out if there are explosives, don't know if perp in it is dead or wounded. Heard 'pipe bombs' mentioned as having been found.

Local TV is reporting 1 suspect deceased on the street, one suspect not moving but with a gun in the SUV, and a search for a possible third suspect that may have fled.

Not that it makes any difference, but why a hospital for the mentally disabled? I mean, in the co springs shooting, while it's monstrous to shoot up a planned parenthood (or anywhere else), I can see the motive - some people don't approve of abortions.
Do note I'm not condoning the co springs shooting in any way, shape, or form, but I can understand that someone could be insane and angry enough to target a PP for its abortion services.
But why a mentally disabled hospital? I guess because it would be an easy target?
I mean, the newtown shooting was pretty senseless, and similarly undefended, but that guy was nuts, as I recall (like the co springs shooter). But from the description, this was a coordinated and planned effort by multiple shooters.
I guess what I'm getting at is - if they're sane enough to plan, coordinate, execute, and, hell, even agree on such a action, why a hospital for the developmentally disabled?

Spread some of the awesome sauce please (source).
These are the comments I recall Obama making after Paris.
"This is an attack on all of humanity and the universal values we share," Obama said in a statement delivered in the White House Briefing Room. "We stand prepared and ready to provide whatever assistance the people of France need to respond."
Obama added, "This is a heartbreaking situation, and obviously those of us here in the United States know what it's like and we've gone through these kinds of episodes ourselves."

Then again, this is breaking news. It's just as likely to be a 9mm pistol as it is an actual Kalashnikov rifle.
Given what we know, I highly doubt this is workplace violence. That usually ends up with the perp committing suicide or suicide by cop at the scene. They don't usually flee.

How many of those shootings were simple robberies or gang shootouts which escalated? The defining # of victims for a mass shooting is pretty low and can easily encompass things like that.
