if this was the target, what motive would apply? robbery seems unlikely. well coordinated attack? that tends to rule out a domestic issue/work issue.
that doesn't leave many other possible options.
the news is broadcasting a live report now. they have suspected vehicle surrounded now.

What we know so far:
- At least 14 people are dead and 14 others injured in a shooting at the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino, Calif., Wednesday afternoon.
- Up to three gunmen opened fire inside the facility — which serves people with developmental disabilities — and fled in a dark SUV, police said.
- The gunmen were armed with long guns and were wearing what appeared to be ski masks and vests, witnesses said.
- A manhunt for the suspects is under way.
- “These were people who came prepared,” San Bernardino Police Chief Jarrod Burguan told reporters. “They came in with a purpose, with an intent to do something.”
- FBI and ATF agents are working to clear the building. About 300 people have been evacuated, police said.
it's being reported that the attack was on a holiday party. 3 possible suspected gunmen.
while it very early to speculate, this is tracking like an attack. not a robbery or domestic/work issue.
