The customers who fled the massacre at the Borderline Bar & Grill in Ventura County, California, told reporters early Thursday morning that the establishment is “like a family.” Wrapped in emergency blankets, the survivors cried while waiting to hear which of their coworkers and friends might be among the 12 confirmed dead. “Borderline’s a family, we all know each other, we’re all friends,” an unnamed woman told a Los Angeles Times reporter. Reports say a gunman dressed in all black opened fire at the college country-dancing night and opened fire at the young crowd with a semi-automatic handgun.
