Yeah his lady and another guy but it seems like the other guy might have split before things went south. Supposedly the guy had an altercation then came back with the two others and weapons.

I've heard that, but I've also heard that they were at a party, got in an argument, left, and returned with guns. Which is to say: I don't think we know the full story yet.

San Bernardino Shooting: NY Daily News Slams GOP 'Cowards' Who 'Hide Behind Meaningless Platitudes'

One of the top newspapers in America just took top Republican politicians to task for their "prayers" but lack of action on guns.

Thursday's front page of the New York Daily News slams Republicans who oppose gun control and think "prayers" are enough.

"God Isn't Fixing This, the headline reads, surrounded by the tweets of four Republicans – Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Lindsey Graham, and Paul Ryan – all of whom used the word "prayers" to recognize today's attack in San Bernardino, which is still ongoing, and so far has left 14 people dead.

"As latest batch of innocent Americans are left lying in pools of blood, cowards who could truly end gun scourge continue to hide behind meaningless platitudes," the subhead reads.

The Daily News story closely reflects one The New Civil Rights Movement published hours ago, "Twitter Explodes Against Pro-Gun Politicians Offering 'Thoughts And Prayers' On Shooting."

In our story, we note that "possibly for the first time ever, many people are unabashedly attacking politicians and demanding immediate action on gun control during an active shooting event."

We show about two dozen strongly worded tweets, mostly targeted at GOP politicians who, like the Daily News shows, offered "thoughts and prayers" for the victims, yet refuse to take any action to stem the rising tide of gun violence.

Oh man, Fox news is having a field day with the fact that the dead guys name is "muslim" sounding and apparently so is the woman's, even though they haven't officially released hers yet.

my ass. If they had body armor and assault rifles, I wonder if they were planning something else and decided "fuck it, we'll just shoot up this place instead."

That's a very aggressive headline. I love it. First nice thing I may have ever said about the daily news.
