Our family has for some time worked with the Inland Regional Center where the shooting happened today; last week my wife was in the very room where the shooting began. Everyone we know there is fine, but a great number of people weren't so lucky.
I was at work keeping tabs on what was going on with my cell phone when I got a message on my scan gun to go to the back of the building immediately - the suspects from the shooting were just down the street, pinned in by police vehicles and the gun battle began; people who were outside the building on break heard the shooting and ran inside yelling. The 2000+ employees on hand for the holiday shopping season all hung out in one area for a few hours and were then sent home, with the caveat that one suspect was still on the loose, so lots of helicopters and police cars were everywhere. I got home fine and everyone is accounted for and well, but what a day..
