In this episode, you will hear first-hand accounts of the terrorist attack at the San Bernardino Regional Center in the Inland Empire by radical terrorists. Retired San Bernardino Sergeant Eric Bennet, who was at the scene, will take us on a journey

describing the horrific incident. The SWAT team was finishing up an "active-shooter" training exercise when they got the call that a real-life massacre was taking place at a San Bernardino County government building. A San Bernardino detective

a patrol officer, a motorcycle officer, and a staff lieutenant on his lunch break had already entered the building with only handguns to rescue people they believed were still under threat by shooters armed with AR-15 rifles on December 2, 2015.

The killing started when a masked man dressed in black tactical attire swung open the door and sprayed bullets. A second shooter entered, clad similarly, and began firing an assault weapon calmly and deliberately. One bullet hit a pipe of the sprinkler

system in the ceiling, sending a spray of water, the report said. "Three male county workers tried to stop the shooters by rushing one of the gunmen, but all three were shot," the report said. "The shooters walked between tables throughout the room,

firing shots at anybody who moved or made a sound, after firing more than 100 .223-cal.

liber rounds, the shooters hastily disappeared in a black SUV.”
