A miffed President Obama said even the White House didn't yet know a motive for yesterday's mass shooting in San Bernardino, California.

'It is possible that this is terrorist-related, but we don't know, it's also possible that this was workplace-related,' Obama told reporters today in the Oval Office.

'We do know the two individuals who were killed were equipped with weapons and appeared to have access to additional weaponry at their homes,' Obama continued. 'But we don't know why they did it. We don't know, at this point, the extend of their plans, we do not know their motivations.'

The president used his brief statement to again call for tighter gun restrictions in light of the shooting, which killed 14 and was the deadliest since the 2012 Sandy Hook massacre.

'I do think as the investigation moves forward, it's going to be important for all of us, including our legislatures, to see what we can do to make sure that when individuals decide that they want to do somebody harm, we're making it a little harder for them to do it,' Obama said.

'Because right now, it's just too easy,' he added.
