The mass shooting at the Borderline Bar & Grill in Thousand Oaks by ex-marine gunman Ian Long claimed the lives of 12 people, and authorities are still unsure what may have motivated the 28-year-old to carry out the attack. As the city of just 127,000 — which is known for its low crime rate and was rated the third safest city in the country — comes to terms with the incident, President Donald Trump has weighed in with his thoughts on the shooter.

"He is a very sick puppy," Trump told gathered reporters outside the White House before he left for a meeting with world leaders in Paris to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the ending of World War 1.
