Yeah I think the better term is Domestic Terrorism, it's clear this was highly organised and carried out with high-powered weapons with an escape already planned out with it. From the heli's it looks like AR-15's yet again. Assault rifle's you can legally own, absolute madness, 14 people have lost their life so far to an absolutely ridiculous law allowing average joe's to own military grade weapons!
- Update: Bear ARV's placed at vulnerable points throughout the area for precautionary reasons. Next official police update will be on the hour unless something significant happens.

Pursuit in progress, SUV apparently located and police are in pursuit. Could have the wrong guy and he has other reasons for running.
- Source once again is the police radio feed.
- Edit: Shots fired from SUV. One arrested (Not sure if related). Shots still being fired from the SUV.

Bearcat SWAT vehicle just joined the pursuit, it appears this might be the suspects.
- Stand off in progress, multiple swat units and police officers in a stand off with the now stopped SUV
- Wow. the SUV is riddled with bullets, 2 suspects down (1 definitely down just laying in the street), one left (unclear where yet)
Swat approaching vehicle now. Second suspect reportedly down in the vehicle with Assault rifle on his person, Police are taking no chances with the SUV whether it's empty or not. Pipe bomb threat reported at separate address. SWAT ready to clear SUV with equipment.
- Thankfully there's no more Civilian deaths, wounded up to 17.
- Houses near 'Pipe Bomb' evacuated (Not sure if related to active shootings)
- 2nd suspect (presumably dead) pulled from SUV.
- 25-30 police vehicles on site, think that confirms this is the shooters from earlier.
- Police confirm 2 suspects down, one possibly outstanding. The officer down isn't life threatening.
- Swat surrounding houses in pursuit of possible third suspect. Hopefully this is the start of the end of this horrible incident.
It was a targeted attack at a Social services centre, despicable attack, disgusting human being, I hope they at least get one to get him a slow death penalty.
- Just seen a graphic shot from the chopper that shows the deceased suspect, it was speculated that at least one is female, the reporter is speculating both deceased suspects are female, the image I just saw from the chopper appears to show this too.
