San Bernardino Shooting 'May Or May Not Be' Terrorist Attack, FBI Said, 'No-Lone Shooter Fires At The Disabled,' Say Analysts
In the latest domestic shooting Wednesday, 14 people have been killed and 17 wounded in a mass shooting dubbed the "San Bernardino shooting terrorist attack." Two suspects are thought to be killed. Although terrorism has been identified as a possible motive behind the incident, a clear motive has not been established.
Authorities in San Bernardino are investigating a home for information; they believe the residence holds more clues to the shooting.
Gunmen with a "mission" opened fire at a center for assisting people with developmental disabilities, according to police. The shooting reportedly began at 11 am at the Inland Regional Center, San Bernardino shooting-terrorist attack.
The armed shooters, who were thought to be wearing armor proof clothing were "prepared to do what they did as if they were on a mission," said San Bernardino Police Chief Jarrod Burguan, reported ABC News.
"We have no information at this point to indicate that this is terrorist related in the traditional sense that people may be thinking. Obviously at minimum we have a domestic terrorist type situation that occurred here.” The FBI have also not ruled out the "possibility" of terrorism.
However, some analysts think that it could also be a staged government false flag operation to highlight the evils of gun ownership during election campaigns and justification for President Obama to criminalize gun ownership.

In an update, the FBI said that the incident "may or may not" be a terrorist incident. The telegraph also reported that guns used in the shooting were legally purchased.
President Obama, who was in Paris for a summit, said that a pattern of mass shootings is becoming commonplace in the U.S. A few weeks ago, Paris fell victim to a staged attack where more than 120 people were killed.
He also said that once the motives of the shooters are identified, a clearer picture will emerge for a plan of action. The President has spoken 15 times on similar occasions when he said he hoped these incidents would spark a debate to stop the violence, according to ABC News.
