14 celeb reactions to the San Bernardino shooting

Get mad

The 352nd mass shooting in the US this year is causing a storm of outrage on Twitter – we take a look at some of the most high-profile reactions

Last night, when news broke that three gunmen had stormed a service centre in the Californian city for San Bernardino, it was just the latest in a string of mass shootings in the US. With 14 people decased, 17 wounded and two suspects killed after a police confrontation, live updates on the story are still unfolding, as the rest of the world watches on in horror.

"The one thing we do know is that we have a pattern now of mass shootings in this country that has no parallel anywhere else in the world," said President Barack Obama. "For those that are concerned about terrorism - some may be aware of the fact that we have a no-fly list where people who can't get on planes, but those same people who we don't allow to fly could go into a store right now in the United States and buy a firearm and there's nothing that we can do to stop them. That's a law that needs to be changed."

Once news broke of the shooting, it didn't take long for anti-gun lobbyists, public figures and celebrities to start expressing their horror on Twitter. Here, we've collected just a few of them:

We, as Americans, all of us, must make it a priority to get at the root of this violent problem in our country and stop it. #SanBernadino

Heading to Manassas, Virginia, for a rally. Will have a moment of silence for the victims of the California shootings. So sad!

Thinking of the world today, praying the media doesn't reward killers with notoriety. Inspire peace. Use your power for harmony, not ratings
