UCLA was on lockdown Wednesday after a shooting in an engineering lab. There were at least two victims, the university said, but their conditions were not immediately clear. A campus-wide lockdown was put in place, according to a tweet from the UCLA newsroom. It was not clear if a gunman was still on the loose. The shooting in Engineering Building #4 put nearby Ronald Reagan Medical Center on lockdown as well. A nurse there said the hospital had not yet received any patients from the shooting. Both the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were responding to the incident at the request of the LAPD, but officials told NBC News they had no independent information yet.

"Rob Kall gives readers an important wake up call to the bottom up power that they have to protect their rights, powers, and freedoms. His advice applies to all aspects of life, including politics, economics, journalism, entertainment, and psychology and wellness. Kall's book explains the differences between the top-down leadership approach of dominating, fear based, disconnected authoritarianism and the bottom-up connection consciousness that emphasizes values, justice, fairness, equity, and kindness. This book helps readers see the whole elephant as opposed to the disconnected parts. Kall gives great advice as to intensifying, expanding, prolonging, and deepening connections. With his professional background, Rob Kall is the perfect person to write this book. This is a very well-researched book that includes dozens of insightful interviews with top-notch experts. Kall shows how bottom-up small acts can produce massive results. He emphasizes that since we can't avoid this emerging bottom-up connection revolution, we need to learn how to navigate and embrace it. This bottom-up leadership will result in power to the people. This is a fascinating and insightful book, especially in this new era of digital hunting and gathering."
