According to The New York Times, one of the shooters in the Wednesday attack in San Bernardino had previously declared her allegiance to the Islamic State (IS) in a Facebook post.  
Tashfeen Malik and Syed Rizwan Farook, a married couple, opened fire at a conference room in San Bernardino, killing 14 and wounding 21.  The attack took place at the Inland Regional Center, where social workers help people with developmental disabilities find jobs, transportation, and housing. 
A conference room located on the property but unconnected to the other buildings had been rented by the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health to host a holiday party, and the room was left open to allow people in and out.  Farook was employed by the department.
“It is horrific to see what is happening. I have a family friend who uses this building  and they were planning on going to the site today. We are just thankful that they happened to not go,” said Brian Garibay (sophomore, Communications).  Garibay grew up in San Bernardino and now attends CSU Fullerton. 
“Crime is nothing unfamiliar for San Bernardino but this is definitely a situation unlike others… It is very different to see a horrific event like this when it personally affects you.  Residents of San Bernardino are coming together and showing a lot of support for each other and the victims,” said Garibay.
San Bernardino is a city approximately 60 miles east of Los Angeles, with a population of 214,000.
“Students are concerned considering the close distance to campus. However, our university police has secured every entrance and are actively patrolling campus. Our campus will be closed from 6pm until Thursday morning,” said Bryce Davis (senior, Political Science, Applied Economics), ASI President at CSU San Bernardino.
In the event of a shooting or other emergency on campus, Stan State has implemented a campus safety protocol, promoted by the University Police Department.
Manuel Luna-Castelo (senior, Kinesiology) hales from San Bernardino but now attends CSU Stanislaus (Stan State).  “Knowing my brother goes to school 15 minutes from there, my family is there, and I have a good amount of friends in the local colleges gets my nerves on edge, especially being 350 miles away.  I’ve reached friends who work in the city, and as a whole this event has affected everyone.  It’s simply devastating and surreal.”
“The fact that this is the 355th mass shooting of the year is appalling. There’s obviously a devastating trend that’s happening and it shows how broken our society is and how desperately we need change,” said Diana Harrison (junior, English) at Stan State.  
Several hours after the 11 am attack, police discovered Malik and Farook’s black SUV in a residential neighborhood and pursued the vehicle, resulting in a shootout that killed both suspects and injured one officer.  
  Community members are left shocked not only by the devastation of their loss but by the fact that a quiet, productive graduate of CSU San Bernardino and his new wife would leave behind their six-month-old daughter and commit mass murder.  
What may have originally seemed to be an extreme case of workplace violence is now being investigated by the FBI as an act of terrorism that was intended to be even larger in its scope of destruction.  According to The Los Angeles Times, the couple possessed thousands of rounds of ammunition, approximately one dozen pipe bombs, and the tools and materials to create even more explosive devices.       
Three of the victims are listed as being hospitalized and in serious condition, and twelve victims are listed as being in critical condition.
This is the deadliest mass shooting in the United States since the Sandy Hook Elementary attack in December 2012, which left 26 adults and children dead.
