Preliminary information from Chief Burguan indicated that there may be at least four people shot, which may or may not include the shooter, and the SBCFD reported that triage and a victim count was underway.

Police asked everyone to please stay out of the area.

San Bernardino was recently the location of a mass shooting in December 2015, when two shooters opened fire at a Department of Public Health work event in the Inland Regional Center, killing 14 and injuring more than 20 people. North Park Elementary School is about 20 minutes away from the Inland Regional Center. 2016 was the deadliest year the city has seen since 1995, the Los Angeles Times reported.
