LA Airports, Trains and Subway Stations Are On High Alert

3 suspects of Brussels Airport Bombing

Another Terror Attack

After the Brussels terrorist twin bombings today, Los Angeles as well as other major cities across the United States have placed military and police personnel at their major airports, train and subway stations.

The United States is in the middle of a hotly contested presidential primary elections, where voters across the country are trying to select their party's official candidate for president.

The incumbent U.S. President, is currently on a historic state visit to Cuba and the bombings at Brussels couldn't have happened at the worst possible time.

Christians are celebrating their Holy Week, while Jews are celebrating Purim.

ISIS / ISIL

ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) have already claimed responsibility for the Brussels shootings and bombings and there seems to be no clear end or solution yet for these types of barbaric and coward terrorist attacks targeting innocent civilian lives. The toll for this attack, as of this writing is over 30 dead and over 200 injured.

Across the world, there is also obviously elevated security measures at major airports and public transports as more and more nations are issuing official statements of condemnation for this recent terrorist attack.

Hashtags such as America Burning, California Burning has been popping up on social media all throughout the day today.

Why? Because apparently there was a "workplace violence" incident happening at the headquarters of the Inland Regional Center located at San Bernardino County since this morning and it had spilled into the streets of the Southland.

All through out the day it was in all the TV channels of Southern California. The FBI has called it a "potential" terrorist attack. The local government, the local police and all the local agencies and local news outlets were still calling it workplace violence and active shooters until 8 pm.

Terror

Anyway, at around the same time, Fox News finally announced the name of one of the suspects and then what everyone has feared was bared. Nobody still wants to say it, but yes all indications are there that this was indeed a terror attack at SoCal.

Regardless, at this time there were 14 confirmed dead, 17 seriously injured. Suspects were described as wearing camouflage gear, kevlar, black masks and carrying high powered weapons. There was one shot up black SUV on a terror stricken residential street. Two dead suspects and one suspect either outstanding or in custody. Two bomb like (explosive) devices found and rendered inoperable. And the suspect's residence under quarantine.

Active Shooter

At times like this it is wise to read up on information put up by the Homeland Security on how to respond to active shooters and even to watch this video put out by the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department.
