San Bernardino Police Officer: 'I'll Take A Bullet Before You Do'

The officer was evacuating people from the Inland Regional Center, the site of a mass shooting.

Leading people to safety at a social services center in San Bernardino, California, on Wednesday, a police officer reassured them: "I'll take a bullet before you do."

Gabi Flores, a customer services coordinator at the Inland Regional Center, shared video of the evacuation with KPCC, an NPR station in Southern California.

"Try to relax, everyone, try to relax," the officer tells employees shaken by the mass shooting. "I'll take a bullet before you do, that's for damn sure. Just be cool, OK?"

At least 14 people were killed and 17 wounded during the shooting at the San Bernardino facility, which serves individuals with developmental disabilities  and has a staff of nearly 670 people.
