#Several law enforcement agencies converged on the scene in San Bernardino and were searching for the suspects. Triage units were being set up in the area.
#Some people were seen being wheeled away on gurneys after gunfire erupted at the Inland Regional Center. Others walked quickly from a building with their hands in the air and were searched by officers before being reunited with loved ones.
#Police were working to secure the scene in the inland region about 60 miles east of Los Angeles, Sgt. Vicky Cervantes said. No arrests have been made.
#Terry Petit said his daughter works at the center, and he got a text from her saying she was hiding in the building after hearing gunshots.
#Petit choked back tears as he read the texts for reporters outside the center. He said she wrote: “People shot. In the office waiting for cops. Pray for us. I am locked in an office.”
At a Shell gas station about a block from the shooting site, store manager Ana Fuentes said there was a flood of police activity in the area.
#“There’s maybe like 150 cops going toward Hospitality Lane,” she said, as sirens echoed in the background.
#She said she hadn’t gotten any instructions to stay inside but that customers coming in told her about the shootings at Inland Regional Center.
#The center says on its website that it provides social services to people with developmental disabilities.
#The city of San Bernardino has struggled to rebound after declaring bankruptcy in 2012. The city of about 214,000 is in the two-county inland region that was hit hard by the Great Recession.
#The area where the shooting occurred is along a main city road that fronts a city golf course and recreation center.
