A hotline has been established to help families looking for loved ones after the mass shooting at the Borderline Bar & Grill in Thousand Oaks, California killed 12 people and injured dozens more on college country-dancing night. The Ventura County Fire Department said families can call (805) 465-6650. Many of the worried friends and loved ones gathered—wearing only pajamas and sweats, while sobbing with fear—at the Thousand Oaks Teen Center. The facility will serve as a reunification center and help sheriff’s deputies gather information about those who are missing.
