Obama on San Bernardino: We Have Pattern of Shootings ‘That Has No Parallel Anywhere Else’

President Obama reacted to the San Bernardino shooting this afternoon in an interview with CBS’ Norah O’Donnell.

It was only yesterday that the president said, “I mean, I say this every time we’ve got one of these mass shootings; this just doesn’t happen in other countries.”
