Just saw this and my stomach is turning. These mass shootings are so terrifying. I hate thinking of people being somewhere they feel safe and comfortable and then being faced with this kind of violence. Praying for the best possible outcome, whatever that may be.

could you please link to a local station?
 
News team is closer to this shooting than they usually are during this type of incident. News can't see the swat team people or fire, etc., but they can see some people who are walking away. People are getting texts from people inside.
 
Witness saw two people shot in the parking lot. Then the gunmen (man?) went into the building. The witness drove away.
 
Interviewee said that the temple isn't very busy at the time the shooting happened.

Witness described just one shooter, according to the person being interviewed, who is not the witness.

There has been no official word of anything about the shooting or aftermath.
 
News station says they've got lots of unofficial information, but they don't have any official information. They hear that there are still hostages.
 
FOX.com has it now.

There are reports of multiple shooters,but aren't there always?
