A picture of a grizzly bear, California’s official state animal hugging the state flag has gone viral as part of #PrayForSanBernadino.
Following the shooting, the Rockefeller Center annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony in New York City saw an avalanche of tighter security. Large parts of Midtown Manhattan were shut down. Everyone entering the area was checked and anyone with an umbrella or book bag couldn't get through to see the lighting.
At the Los Angeles Lakers / Washington Wizards basketball game thousands of fans bowed their heads for a moment of silence as the lights were turned down.
President Obama was about to give CBS a prescheduled interview news of the shooting broke.
He told CBS News: “We should never think that this is just something that just happens in the ordinary course of events because it doesn't happen with the same frequency in other countries."
He also said that America’s pattern of mass shootings “has no parallel anywhere else in the world.”
