14 dead 14 injured and 3 shooters on the loose still. Is this the norm now, watching many people getting shot to bits once a week.

Barack Obama has remarked on the shooting during a previously planned interview with CBS News, saying: “It does appear that there are going to be some casualties, and obviously our hearts go out to the victims and the families.”

He continued: “We have a pattern now of mass shootings in this country which has no parallel anywhere in the world.”

Obama went on to say that “there are steps” that Congress can take to reduce gun violence in the US, even if the government cannot eliminate shootings entirely.

The US can “take [steps] to improve the odds that they don’t happen as frequently,” he said.

“We should never think that this is something that just happens in the ordinary course of events.”

The San Bernardino shooting is the second mass shooting today and the 355th this year.

Unreal.

What is this word "septics"? Northern word? Canadian word? Never really heard it before this forum?

Really? I thought it was well known Shard lol

Edited to add that I don't live in Canada. I first heard it used in Scotland many many years ago

It almost isn't. The thing is, after Sandy Hook, there's really no excuse for the USA not to get its house in order. And still, they don't want to. I think Oink's post is not necessarily ironic in the mind of many Americans.

This incident seems to be a bit different than the regular shootings, as it is multiple attackers.
