What's the story

On Sunday night, an active shooter gunned 10 people including children at an apartment complex in San Bernardino, California. It is reported three of the victims are extremely critical.

The motive of the attack is not yet known.

Captain Richard Lawhead of the San Bernardino Police Department said multiple weapons were fired. He added all victims are alive.

The gunman is still at large.

Neighbors recall they heard gunshots from a distance

Lawhead revealed the police department got a call about shooting at 1277 East Lynwood Drive at around 10:45 PM.

"We believe that there was an exchange of gunfire," he said.

A resident of a nearby complex said she heard 14-20 gunshots fired in rapid successions. Another neighbor also said he heard gunshots from his house, which is a block away.

Information

Despite several shootings, authorities yet to toughen gun control laws

Though there has been a mass outcry over lax gun laws, the administration hasn't done much yet. The National Rifle Association spearheads the gun lobby and actively attributes such incidents to mental health. Meanwhile, Congress is still mulling loosening gun control restrictions.
