Quote:SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. — Gunmen burst into a social services center Wednesday and opened fire, killing at least 14 people and setting off an intense manhunt and a gunfight that resulted in the death of two suspects, authorities said.

Police Chief Jarrod Burguan said the killers walked into the meeting room at the Inland Regional Center, began shooting and quickly fled in a dark-colored SUV. Hours later, officers rushed to a home, where two suspects fled in an SUV.

"One male and one female were killed," Burguan said. He said one officer was wounded in the shootout, but that the injuries were not life-threatening.

"There was a third person seen running away, that person has been detained," Burguan said. He said it was not clear if the person was involved in the massacre. He also said there still might be a suspect at-large.

Burguan said at least 14 people were killed and 17 wounded in the shooting rampage at the center. Officers searching the building later found an explosive device that had not detonated. No motive had been determined, he said. County buildings in the area were shut down.

"The information we have is they came prepared to do what they did, as if they were on a mission," Burguan said, adding that they were "equipped to get away."

Witnesses said the shooters were armed with long guns, wearing ski masks and military-style vests. Agents from the FBI, ATF and U.S. Marshal's Service had joined the investigation

"Obviously we have a domestic terrorism situation," Burguan said, adding that police have not determined a motive for the rampage.

Many of the injured were taken from the building on stretchers and strapped into gurneys. Loma Linda University Medical Center and Arrowhead Regional Medical Center said they received multiple patients from the shooting.

Marybeth Field, president and CEO of the Inland Regional Center, said the incident took place in a conference area that a county group had rented. She said about 25 employees work in the building, which provides services for people with developmental disabilities.

What in the collective hell is wrong with our country? I thought we were better than those savages that live in countries without laws?

How many more innocent lives have to be lost?
