It's sad to hear of another shooting, hopefully no one dies and the suspect(s) are soon captured. However, it wouldn't surprise me if I'm wrong.

Initial reports are at least 12 dead so far.

One witness described a suspect in fleeing SUV as a "regular white dude". Hopefully we'll find out more soon.

EDIT: Two suspects dead, one unaccounted for

EDIT 2: One deceased suspect may have been female

I would say this should serve as a lesson to certain members of this forum and the broader conservative movement, but that would just be a waste of time.

There were just as many people immediately jumping on the "far-right Christian terrorists" bandwagon on twitter, Reddit, etc.

I'm not yet convinced that this is related to any type of terrorism at all, honestly.

Lead suspect American Citizen. Peter King has said that it is a foreign name most likely Arabic.

Even if true, that doesn't inherently mean it was terrorism. However, that would explain the ambiguity we've heard from the FBI.

Farook appears to be a health department employee. Police are searching his house now.

Farook's neighbors report the Farooks had recently moved in, received an unusually large number of packages recently, and were doing lots of work in their garage late at night, but they didn't report it as they didn't want to appear racist/profiling.

So it looks like the suspects have been preparing for this attack for awhile.

Given the sheer amount of guns, ammunition, tactical armor, and pipe bombs involved, I think that's safe to say.

It does sound premeditated --he didn't rush home after an argument at the party and load everything up.  I guess the big question is how they obtained all that stuff and if someone helped them or can you just order all that stuff online?
With the market for survivalist supplies what it is, I imagine a lot of military grade equipment can be ordered online, no questions asked.

You can literally buy almost anything online, but that doesn't mean it was bought/shipped legally.

So this makes 355 mass shootings this year, in case no one has posted the tally yet.

That's 100% dependent on how you count these things.

Is this now the watershed "homegrown Islamic terrorist" incident?
