This was a terrorist incident, i think it is fair to describe this as a staged assault, based on the Public Information police have released already. There have been incredible reaction from across the United States, but also in San Bernadino, california where the shooting happened we spoke to some people early today with people about what happened in their city. Watch. I think its time for us just to unite and come together. And we cant any longer just hear about these things happening and not feel a call to action. There is something that we have do. We have to make sure that social services are being offered to people with mental diseases. We have to headach make shower e erasing discrimination not just in our Police Forces but cities and neighborhoods, just get back to being a community of people. That pastor spoke to us, to al jazeera from a Police Station which has actually become significant in terms of the efforts by police in the San Bernadino area to try to collect information that may provide leads to the black s. U. V. That police are looking for. Joining us with more on that is al jazeeras jennifer london who joins us by phone from San Bernadino where the latest. Jennifer. Reporter david, you said it when you said there is a massive manhunt underway for what is believed to be three gunmen who entered the Inland Regional Center earlier today and opened fire. We know from police that, as you said, 14 people are dead. At least 14 are wounded. We dont know if the if the casualty numbers will increase at this time. We dont know the extent of the injuries of those that are wounded. We know that they have been taken to local area hospitals. Police say that they dont really have any information on the shooters. Other than they were armed. The police said they came looking like they were on a mission. They had long guns as opposed to handguns, witnesses say they were wearing ski masks and had protective vests on. Police say they dont know what their motive is. They believe they fled the scene in a black s. U. V. And we know at least one location close to where the shooting occurred police, its a gas station, went in to that facility and asked for any Surveillance Footage that might show the street, so perhaps they could catch a glimpse of this karas it was fleeing. Police say because these suspects have not been caught, courts, county buildings are on lockdown. Law enforcement has been dispatch today schools and offices. They have said at a minimum this is a domestic terrorist incident. Describe what you are seeing from your Vantage Point in an bernadino right now. As of an hour police described as aspects and agents and equipment inside this Inland Regional Center looking at some, what might have been backpacks or device that his they fear could have been explosive devices has that been cleaned up and they are satisfied there is nothing left that needs to be done in there as far as any potential threats . Reporter the prim iter where the shooting occurred has been widened. What i mean is they have asked people around the scene, and that includes the media, to basically move away. So they have asked the media to move away to a staging area which is where we are now. We know from the police and Sheriffs Press Conference that happened less than an hour ago they were still trying to clear out the building. There were reports that there was something something that looked suspicion us that could possibly be an explosive device, they were looking at that. At this time they said they had not recovered any weapons. But, again, the police, all the Law Enforcement stressing here this is an ongoing situation and there are a lot of moving parts and, you know, information is changing almost minute by minute. And by the way, we are going to have another press conference from Law Enforcement officials in san perso bernadino with the latestal we expect they may update the number of fatalities which currently stands at 14. In addition, there is a lot of concerns in Southern California as we speak with jennifer london about this possible vehicle, a black s. U. V. And what police may be able to know about that particular vehicle. Whether they have been able to collect anymore information from the scene or surveillance tapes that might give them new information about who might have carried this out. Jennifer, do you have a sense first of all, the mood in Southern California. This isnt just some sort of random mass shooting its the kind of sort of thing where everybody must be sort of gripped by the idea, okay, somewhere in Southern California might be these people who are involved in a massacre. Reporter well, and you are right when you say its not a random mass shooting because the police say that it looks as if this building was targeted. Because of eyewitnesses reporting the way the men were dressed. They went directly to this building. The suspects i should say. The way they were dressed. They went directly to this building with a sense of purpose as its been described. Armed, heavily armed. And they had a get away car and they were able to evade police. And the San BernadinoSheriffs Department was among the the Fire Department was among the First Responders treating those wounded lying in the street bleeding from being shot. And police, local and state immediately descended on the scene to try and lock it down, yet somehow these three suspects were able to get away which is another indication police are saying that it was not random. That it was planned. And it was well thought out. And thus they have this get away car. And when you talk about Mass Shootings, of course everybody in Southern California were devastated by what was happening in paris. But yet that also seems very far away. And yet when it hits home for the people here in san bernadine on and in Southern California ad in fact the entire country people are in disbelief i would never have thought it would happen in paris, i would never thought it would happen eight movie near the colorado or a school. But i never thought it would happen here in San Bernadino. And because at this time there is simply no motive and so little known about the suspect its creating perhaps a greater sense of fear because of what is not known. And, in fact, its such a great point in terms of people thinking about paris, the great different, of course, from paris and the United States is that there are a lot more Counter Intelligence assets already in place in the United States to try to pick up organized attacks before they take place. And so part of what the federal government will be doing now, and has been doing for the past couple of hours is going through their are all their signals and intelligence assets and the media and trying to determine on the internet media to try to determine well, is it possible that there was some sign that this was going to happen or has there been some sort of chatter. Jennifer, i wonder because we have heard it a couple of times over the past few hours about how well equipped the San Bernadino swat teams tour deal with these sort of environments and unfortunately it seems like they got there too late to have any sort of exchange with the shooters involved, but assuming that Law Enforcement is able to identify who might have been involved in this and, there would be another advantage or another time when they might try to storm a particular facility somewhere in Southern California, how well integrated have Law Enforcement agencies become in Southern California in this sort of post 9 11 era . Reporter there is a lot more collaboration, there is a lot more inter agencies working together. When this shooting occurred, it was the local San Bernadino police and city fire that responded immediately. But very shortly after you had atf agents from the Los Angeles Field Office in San Bernadino. You had agents from the Fbi Field Office in los angeles in San Bernadino. We are now hearing that there will be in addition to the state authorities, federal authorities are involved in this. And there is there is a sense that in this post 9 11 world where Mass Shootings are becoming more and more frequent, that the agencies have come up with plans for this very thing and how they interact. So there is not, you know, a miscommunication between the state agency and a local agency and who is in charge and you know, the there is a lot more interconnectedness if you will among the First Responders and state agencies and federal agencies. Jennifer london reporting from los angeles. Jennifer, thank you very much. I want to see if we can figure out what may be going on here in the live picture. It looks like, and lou ill defer to you, but it it looks like perhaps an officer getting out of a bomb proof sort of outfit that they would wear if they were checking out i. D i. D. Es, there is an officer on the ground getting out of some equipment or perhaps maybe discovered on the ground there . Yeah. I am trying to discern what is going on there. There is some activity separate and apart from the incident today. And the officer on the ground he half sustained an injury. He doesnt seem to be moving. They do not seem to be removing any gear from his person and they are apparently on their radios. I guess it could be practice perhaps in terms of canvassing the area of San Bernadino, maybe there was some indication that the s. U. V. Might have been there or maybe there was some piece of evidence related to it that they have found . But, again, that is not that is in a different that live picture is a very different thats not the area where this inland regional certainty took place. Thats what i was saying. I was noting in you scrutinize this a little bit. There is apparently a Traffic Accident that took place at this intersection if you continue to view this, there seems to be materials where radio cars, where marked radio cars were that had debris that was disbursed along the roadway. And i dont know what the connection is between that and the officer thats in the other frame where he has a number of Police Officers standing around him. I would glean from this that hes possibly sustained an injury, it does not appear they are removing any type of equipment. It also looks like this is familiar for people used to watching Police Chases, so this may be totally unrelated to all of this. But, again, we are sort of in this heightened sensitivity time now where any sort of Police Vehicle moving quickly down the road, and, again, there is a Police Vehicle moving quickly there. Makes you think, okay, police are perhaps chasing something or onto something. And, again, this is a different part of San Bernadino than where the shooting took place, so look, this is a reality of Southern California, that you have so many news organizations with helicopter that his can pick up Police Chases or Police Activity and that may be simply what this is, but nonetheless a lot of people, including the media a edge about whatever they may be seeing. And at least it would look like there is a vehicle there thats moving pretty quickly for whatever reason has caught the attention of a local news helicopter. Which is following them to try to figure out what this is. And because this is San Bernadino, there is a lot of sensitivity to this. But for all we know this is just somebody who may be going home or returning from work, so lets move on, well keep an eye on the aerial images come in and if anything particularly strange jumps out at us well of course get back to it, but joining us via skype from philadelphia a retired washington, d. C. Police officer. I want to get your sense about where you think all of this is going and this happened, 14 people killed, 14 injured, three shooters, Police Believe the shooters fled the scene in a black s. U. V. The facility that was shot is a social services building. 60 miles east of los angeles. You put all this together and what jumps out in your mind . Well, as you eluded, to i am a former d. C. Police officer. We dealt with the d. C. Sniper case and there was a lot of information that flowed in and a number of information turned out to be false. So what police need to do on the scene is to weed out exactly what is going on, what occurred, and the steps forward. So did they leave in a black s. U. V. , did they not . They need to did he sever that. This is a methodical attempt. This is another act on domestic soil of an active shooter incidents. So this is an unfortunate series of events, but what the police need to do is slow things down, take methodical steps, and create that investigation timeline of exactly what occurred so they can figure out why, who, what, where, when, why. I want to interrupt you, on one of the feeds we are getting now. This is live coming in from abc seven from Los Angeles Police have pulled out have pulled over a black s. U. V. In San Bernadino. You can see it there in the foreground, there is a Police Officer there is a marked cruiser off to the side. You can see Police Moving up through a yard to try to get a closer look. And, again, this is at least this is not near where the police where the shooting happened earlier, this is some distance a wears, but there have been for the last few howard, there has been an all points bulletin for police to be on the look out for a black s. U. V. And whatever it is that the police are seeing now, has them concerned. Because when they have zoomed in, you have seen Police Officers crouched behind the door of their vehicle. The armed police crewser cruised there are people moving in and there is great deal of concern and people moving away. Question is, what is this police what is this vehicle. It would look like that this is a vehicle that has been perhaps abandoned. And it also would look like there are lots of park marks on the windshield which could be a bunch of different things, but clearly look likes there has been a shootout involve that go black s. U. V. The glass has been shot out the question is was going on. This is coming in live from San Bernadino, california think i am and our control room we are getting reports of one suspect down. This is according to abc. One suspect down. This would appear, then, to be perhaps the a black s. U. V. That caught police attention. And clearly there is some sort of standoff going on now. Again, an s. U. V. There in San Bernadino, california, this was a vehicle that police were looking for. You can see this playing out live. As police are in the front yard of a nearby vehicle. And there a Police Officer holding a weapon train odd that black s. U. V. So this is unfolding as we speak. And the reason this is so significant is earlier today police said that they were looking for a black s. U. V. That they believe was the get away car. A black gmc yukon that they believe was the get away car. When you look up closely and joe, i will defer to you it looked like the windows were shot out. The glass has been shattered in that vehicle. It appears as if there were some gunshots direc directed tos the windshield and possibly the left front tire looks lie it may be a little low. The thing that i find interesting is that the Law Enforcement agents that are in proximity to this vehicle or not converge on the grounds vehicle either from the front side or rear. I will have to say one thing, this incident occurred approximately 3 1 2 hours ago. I would be shocked if this vehicle was still in proximity of the shooting. And the one thing do i want to mention, and i have familiar a air at this with this area because i have had a home and office in los angeles for about 26 years, there are many freeways that they could sure. Hop onto there. There is the 60, the pamona, a number of freeways, the 10 freeway. There are a number of major arteries that woo lend them the ability to escape this scene. We have to first figure out is this even connected to i think did he want earlier in the day or is this a separate incident involving a individual that may be involved in a robbery in the community, for example. There are just reports, again just reports not confirmed that a suspect has been hit by police gunfire. It is not clear if thats related to the live scene we are watching unfold now. But police deeply concerned about the black s. U. V. That they are their guns and weapons trained on right now. And lets assume, joe, that there is somebody perhaps
