The attack happened in San Bernardino at a training center for disabled people.
San Bernardino police chief Jarrod Burguan spoke to reporters after the incident. He said it is believed that three gunmen were involved. He said the shooters apparently fled the area. The numbers of casualities may changeand it is not known if the shooting was a terrorist attack.
Burguan said there was a massive response to the shooting. He saidseveral local and state security forces took part.
Earlier reports said the shooters may have been dressed in military clothing. A police spokeswoman told the Los Angeles Times that the attackers wereheavily armed and possibly wore body armor.
A bomb squad reportedly was deployed to try to disarm a possibleexplosive device.
