‘I’ll take a bullet before you,’ cop tells terrified crowd

The increase in security follows Wednesday’s hours-long shooting rampage at the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino.

An officer ushering people to safety from the building in San Bernardino reassured the frightened group with an unforgettable comment. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton took a different tack: “I refuse to accept this as normal”.

In the wake of the tragedy of the San Bernardino shootings, stories and videos like that of the police officer willing to take a bullet for evacuees make people believe in each other again. The two killers, a husband and wife, died during a police shootout on Wednesday evening.

Despite the terrifying situation unfolding, a cop can be heard reassuring the panicked group, “Try to relax, try to relax”. Police have also killed two suspects – a man and a woman – and detained a third. For the people at the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino there was much fear and not enough hope as attackers opened fire Wednesday.

But the last seven days have been a reminder that there are many more heroes than rogues among the nation’s police officers. Both Farook and Malik died at the scene. One suspect lay dead in the street, and officers didn’t know at that point if others were out there.

It shows officers giving survivors directions on how and where to evacuate the building.

Authorities are trying to determine a motive for the attack at the social services center for the disabled where Farook’s colleagues with the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health were renting space for a celebration.
