QuoteAuthorities in San Bernardino, California, responded Wednesday to reports of an active shooter or more than one shooter.

There were reports from the sheriff's department that there were one to three suspects. The fire department said it was responding to a "20 victim shooting incident."

[Latest developments, posted at 3:08 p.m. ET]

• A woman who works at a building where the shootings occurred texted her father, Terry Pettit: "Shooting at my work. People shot." Pettit told CNN affiliate KABC his daughter, who was locked in her office, told him 10 to 20 people were shot.

• CNN affiliate KABC reported that the shooting took place at Inland Regional Center, a facility for people with developmental disabilities.

Inland Regional Center's Facebook page says it employs nearly 670 staff at its facilities in San Bernardino and Riverside counties, providing services to more than 30,200 people.

It aims to "work on a personal, one-on-one basis with people with developmental disabilities to make their lives better as they define it."

No information is yet available on how many people were at the facility at the time of the shooting.

Live reporting from an LA News Station.

I was going to say that they were reporting responsibly until one of the reporters said something like "this could be a terrorist attack not unlike the recent attacks in Paris or it could be a normal type of shooting..."

I think the fact that there were multiple shooters involved makes this a terrorist act.

I usually hate speculation, but something has occurred to me. If reports are correct, the shooting may have taken place at an event for county employees. The first thing that makes me think of is anti-government types. But we'll see. It's all very disturbing.

pretty weird.  Usually anti-govt folks attack fed gov't places and if it was workplace violence, usually that is just one person.

You never know. It's all speculation, of course. We'll just have to wait and see, I guess. I suppose we've had to deal with enough shootings by now to know that most the 'information' that we get tends to be inaccurate at best.

The other day a soccer game was cancelled in Germany. It was reported that they found an ambulance filled with explosives. Turns out it was just a bomb threat and the story about the ambulance disappeared from the web. I guess that's a hazard of today's age of social media and access to real-time information.

Yeah, the anti-gov people usually work alone, except in the case of the OKC bombing. I think it's still unconfirmed if it was 1,2 or 3 shooters. They're reporting they got away, just horrible.

News reports say that the police stopped a black SUV and after arguing with police about a line of questioning, a gun battle ensued.

One shooter is dead, one seriously injured and one got away.

Police have set up a perimeter around the area.

Sounds like all criminals involved are dead or captured. It's still ear, but news is reporting 1 female was involved. A bit unusual.

Unfortunately that probably indicates what kind of group this was.

What was reported tonight, something like 366 shootings this year over 330 days or something like that and the President has a "few ways to slow it down". What an insult to the families of those killed, he now has a plan? Where was he earlier?
