After the San Bernardino, shooting that left 14 dead and 21 injured, the police held a news conference Thursday where they revealed the conditions officers faced when they entered the Inland Regional Centre.
According to CBC News, Lieutenant Mike Madden, one of the first officers to arrive on the scene, said it he was unprepared for the scene even though he had been trained in dealing with mass shootings.
Officers stated that their priority was to locate the shooters and stabilize the situation, before assisting the many panic-stricken victims.
