A gunman walks into a bar. It's not the beginning of a sick joke, but the end of at least 12 lives.
The gunman, who has yet to be named, stormed into Borderline Bar & Grill in Thousand Oaks, California, and opened fire.
"It's absolutely horrific," Capt. Garo Kuredjian tells CNN affiliate KABC. "If you can imagine young people out on a Wednesday night, having a good time, at a bar they've probably been to many times. Thousand Oaks, one of the safest cities in the United States, and something like this happens. We're trying to make sense out of the senseless, it's absolutely tragic."
Though few details are currently known, faith leaders have already turned to the ready weapon of prayer.
This
morning would you lift up in prayer all of the wounded & the
families whose loved ones were killed during a shooting last night in
Thousand Oaks, CA. Reports say at least 12 people are dead. https://t.co/zCdxLYDitU
Oh Lord!
Praying for the first responders and the families of those who were killed. https://t.co/tUpcsKhbWI

We
humans have turned to zombies when horrors no longer horrify us,
prayers no longer move us from knees to feet & needs no longer move
us from greeds to selfless giving. When our sides outclass the
sufferings of our fellow humans we are the horror: the church of the
living dead.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone affected by the tragic shooting that took place in California. #CaliforniaShooting

Waking up in NYC to the terrible news in California that 12 were killed in a country bar last night. 1 officer killed in the line of duty as he ran toward the shooter to save lives. Join me in asking the Holy Spirit to pull those families close this morning. #Californiashooting
