Carlos pea its easy to star an actioioteam at your schooll so you, too, can get in on the action. If you were a hippie in the 60s, you need to know. Its the dawning of the age oaquarius. Yeah, and Something Else thats cool. What . Osteoporosis is preventable. All osteos preventable . Right on if you dig your bones, protect them. I know one of the Big Questions that will come up repeatedly is is this terrorism . And i am still not willing to say that we know that for sure. We are definitely making some movements that it is a possibility. We are making some adjustments to our investigation. It is a possibility. But we dont know that yet. And were not willing to go down that road yet. David, the relationship between the two dead suspects . Unknown at this point. How old approximately are they . I do not even know that. This is what about the third suspect . Therwas talk of a third d suspect. There is a third suspect. And i dont know the disposition of that suspect. I i ul defer that question to e chief. What i will tell you on any indications of terrorism are this investigation, and i told a few of you already, we will go where the evidence takes us. Road. Its also possible it does not. Were just not sure yet. And when we e e fairly sure we will let you know. David, do you have a motive is this possibly terrorism . There are a number of potential theres a few potential things, but we just dont know. And im not willing to go down that road. This is a very fluid active investigation. We are still gathering facts. All the heads of agencies that we have here. We are still gathering some of these facts ourselves because this scene is strewn throughout the city and into another city. And its incredibly fluid. And thats just the way these things wellget there when we get there. Any information about the identity of the third suspect, description, age, anything . I should have included that in my when i talked a moment ago. So as i said, we had an officerininlved shooting on sanan bernardino avenue between Mountain View and richardson. There were two people in the vehicle. Both of those people are deceased. There was a third person that was seen running away. Involveded we have that person detained. I dont have any information on who that person is yet, and we certainly do not know if they were involved. Its possible that they were not. In addition to that and the reason we put things out on social meded that we asked for people to shelter in place in those neighborhoods is because there were some folks that called in and had reported that they heard folks they heard somebody jumping fences and they reported some of that activity in the neighborhood. We dont know if that was possibly responding officers, but we took a cautious approach. We locked down the neighborhood. We asked people to shelter in place. And we searched that neighborhood extensively. As of a couple minutes ago we just got word that that search has bebe wrapped up, no additional folks have been contacted or seen there, so we feel that that area is safe and we can lift that shelter in place order there. Do you have any information on why this location . We do not have a motive approximate age of the suspects. We do notot i do not have that right now. Keep in mind that i said there were some things that were causing the officers to take a very, very cautious approach in so we just are not that far into the investigation yet. [ inaudible ]. Is that possible . Im sorry . Possibility these suspects may have had suicide vests or something similar . I dont know. I have not heard suicide vest, no. Do yoyobelieve this situatiti safe, or there are still more shooters potentially out there . We feel confident about the neighborhood where the ficerinvolved shoototg took place that we have secured that and theres nobody outstanding there. Reasonably confident on that. On the broader scale of the investigation, as i i id, early on we had information thererwere potentially three shooters. We are still at a point where we are tracking down that information, were going to try to continue to identify if there was a third person involved or potentially even more people that might have deen involved in the planning but were still pretty early on that part of the investigation. [ inaudible ]. Holiday party i cant listen to all of them. Theres a report out that at angry, went out, came back with two other people, guns, and started firing. Any truth to that . So there are i have heard that they were in a meeting or Holiday Party type event at the inland regional center. Somebody did leave, but we have no ia if that is the pern that came back. So thats a possibility then . Somody did leave. There was some type of dispute or something when somebody l lt that party, but we have no idea if those are the people that came back. Do you have any idea what kind of weapons were recovered at the site of the shootout. They were assault style weapons. Yeah, that type of weapon, yes. Are there explosives near that black suv currently . There was a report that they potentially threw what was identified as a pipe bomb. I think weve rendered that device safe. It was not an explosive. I think were still working on the vehicle and making sure that thth is safe. Can you give us anything on their appearance, ethnicity, anything, age . Just the way it was described to me as and i said this in the first press conference. They came dressed and equipped and i think the people we have at the scene thahaare deceased are dressed in that way. Theyre dressed in dark kind of Tactical Gear is the best way ill put it. Ethnicity, anything like that . I dont know. since you served the search warrant, is it your understandndg i didnt say we served a search warrant. Okay. We understand you served a search warrant, were bein told. So is it your understanding they were holed up in the general ea then the whole titi, they never left . No, no. There was information onhe early part of the investigation as we started to develop information, there was one particular focus area. A couple. But one particular focus area we went to, and it was one of those followup focus areas that led to the house in redlands that led to the pursuit that led to the active shooting. Did they live there . Was that their house . The address was connected to i dont know who the suspects are, nor do i know if that is where they lived. Do you believe that the Police Killed ththtwo people at e they were carrying assault ak47 . I dont know the specific caliber or make or model of the gun. Chief, the arrests hold on. Real quick. The people in the suv. There were two people in the suv. Both of f em are deceased. During this gunfire between the suspects and police i dont know. [ inaudible ]. Dont know. Okay. Were going to try to do another press conference sometime around 8 30, 9 00. Hopefully well have more information for you at that time. Thank you. We have been watching the late News Conference by Jarrod Burguan, who is the police chief in San Bernardino. To recap a few of the highlights, Police Acting on a tip were led to that vehicle, the suv. Two people, two suspects were killed in the suv. The police chief said they were armed with assault rifles and a third person who was running from thehecene has been detained, but police are not saying he is the third suspect that they have been searching for. President obama today was being interviewed by Norah Odonnell of cbs this mororng when he he got word of the shooting. Mr. President , it appears theres been another mass shooting in california. What do you know . Well, we dont know that much yet. Its still an active situation. Fbi is on the ground offering assistance to local officials as they need it. It does appear that there are going to be some casualties. And you know, obviously our hearts go out to the victims and the families. The one thing we do know is that we have a pattern now of Mass Shootings in this country that has no parallel anywhere else in the world. And there are some steps we could take not to eliminate every one of these Mass Shootings but to improve the frequently. Common sense gun safety laws, stronger background checks, and for those who are concerned about terrorism, some may be aware of the fact that we have a nofly list where people cant get on planes with you those same people who we dont allow to fly can go into a store right now in the United States and buy a firearm and theres nothing that we can do to stop them. Thats a law that needs to be changed. And so my hohe is that were able to contain this particular shooting, and we dontet know what the motives of e shooters are but what we do know is there are steps we can take to make americans safer and that we partisan basis at every level of government to make these rare as opposed to normal. We should never think that this is something thajust happens in the obdinary course of events because it dsnt happen with the same frequency in other countries. The preredent today with Norah Odonnell. We have an interview with an eyewitness to the massacre in that for you when we come back. [cough, cough]mike . Janet . Cough if you can hear me.

One of the Witnesses Today is sally abdelmageed, who works at the inland regional center, the building where the attack took place. She saw the attackers enter the building, and we spoke to her by phone. I heard shots fired, and it was from an automatic weapon. Very unusualal why would we hear shots . As we look out the window, a second set of shots goes off, and its pop, pop, pop, pop. And we saw a man fall to the floor. Then we just look and we saw three men dressed in all black military attire with vests on, Holding Assault rifles. And they soon as they opened up the doors to building 3, and one of them opened up the door he starts to shoot all over into the room. Thats the room we typically have conferences and we just heard more gunshots go off. I got out my phone. I reached for my phone. I called 911. And i hid under my desk. I didnt see any more. I just heard more gunshots go off as i was talking to dispatch. We went into my managers office, locked the door, barricaded it. We heard running and things happening upstairs. About 30 minutes lat someone came to the door and knock on the door but we didnt obviously answer and another 15 minutes later someone came and took us into a secure room. Ms. Abdelmageed, can you describe to me in as much detail as you can, what did the gunman look like . He had a black hat on and from my view all i could see was just a black hat and black longsleeve shirt, possibly gloves on. He had black cargo pants on, the kinds with zippers on the side and the big puffy pockets. He had a huge assault rifle. He had extrammo. Heas coming ready for he was coming ready for something. To reload. I dont know. He had magazines. I couldnt see what else. I saw i just saw three dressed exactly the same. Youre certain you saw three men . Yes. It looked like their skin color was white. They looked like they were athletic build, and they appeared to be tall. And of course weve just learned th one of the suspects was actually a woman. Well have the latest on the San Bernardinonoassacre and the search for a suspect when we chest pain, like theres a ton of weight on your chest. Severe shortness of breath. Unexplned nausea.

I was discharged from the army, and ive been working with the Wounded Warrior project since 2007. Warriors, you dont have to be severely wounded to be with the unded warrior project. We do have a lot of guys that have posttraumatic stress disorder. Being able to share your story, i guess it kind of helps you wrap your mind around what did happen over there. My name is norbie, and yes, i do suffer fro posttraraatic stress disorderer heres the latest onhe mass shooting in San Bernardino, california. Two suspects are dead. One man, one woman. They were killed in a shootout with police, who had chased down their suv, that vehicle in the middle of f e shot there. A third person is in custody, though police say he may not be involved. One officer was lightly wounded. Tonight lice are searching a home in neighboring redlands, california and searching the inland regional center, the site of the shooting, searching both of tse places for bombs. The killers, dressed in military gear, shot more than 30 people. At least 14 are dead. 17 others are wounded. 10 of them critically. The attack happened during holiday luncheon a aended by workers from the county departmeme of health. Terrorism has not been ruled out. Homeland security y rrespondent jeje pegues is following the investigation. Jeff . Scott, some of the leads that investigators are getting to this point have come because of a name that surfaced really early on in the minutes after this shooting. W enforcement sources, multiple Law Enforcement sources confirm for cbs news that one of the possible suspects mentioned is syed farook. He worked for the department of health. Again, this is a name that has been confirmed by multiple Law Enforcement sources as a possible suspect in this shooting. Also were getting new information about what was found in the vehicle. Remember, there was this black vehiclclthat was described a a leaving the scene of the shooting. According to Law Enforcement sources, an ar15 style rifle was found in that vehicle along with two pistols as well. Investigators are right now in addition, as the vehicle was fleeing, the suspects inside, according to Law Enforcement officials, threw a piece of metal from the vehicle. It was a piece of metal pipe is how it was described to us. It was thrown from the suv. Ast turns out, it was not an explosive device. There was some concern that that piece of metal was some sort of pipe bomb type device. But that was not the case. Again, two of the suspects are dead. That according to investigators who released that information just minutes ago. A male and a female. Investigatorare still looking into the possibility that a third suspect was involved as well. Scott . Jeff pegues, thank you very much. Our cbs News Coverage of the massacre will continue on our 24hour digital news network, cbsn, which is available on all devices at cbsnews. Com. Around the world, good night. Announcer this is the cbs overnight news. Welcome to the overnight news. Im don dahler. Theres no word whether the latest mass shshtings in california are the work of terrorists or anyone connected with the islamic state. But overseas the United States militarys getting a powerful new ally in the battle against the terror group. The British Parliament voted to allow the Royal Air Force to begin strikes against isis targets in syria. The vote came after a raucous tenhour debate. But in the end Prime Minister David Cameron convinced the lawmakers. In moving this motion im not pretending that the answers are simple. The situation in syria is incredibly complex. Im not overstating the contribution that our incredible servicemen and women can make. Neither am i ignoring the risks of military action. Nor am i pretending that military action is any more than im absolutely clear that we must pursue a comprehensive strategy that also includes political, diplomatic, and humanitarian action. And i know that the longterm solution in syria as in iraq must ultimately be a government that represents all of its people and one that can work with us to defeat the evil organization of isil for good. But mr. Speaker, notwithstanding all of this in a moment. Notwithstanding all of this, there is a simple question at the heart of the debate today. We face a fundamental threat to our security. Isil have brutally murdered british hostages. Theyve inspired the worst terrorist attack against british people since 77 on the beaches of tunisia, and theyve plotted atrocity after atrocity on the streets here at home. Charlie dagata has more from london. Reporter Prime Minister David Cameron made it clear where he stands on the issue saying anyone who votes against air strikes in syria is a this all comes as the u. S. Is about to dramatically step up efforts on the ground. British tornado fighter jets like these will join the u. S. Led air campaign against isis targets in syria within days. But it is on the ground that the United States is about to take the fight to isis. The pentagon has announced that about 200 special Operations Forces will be deployed to the Northern Iraq city of erbil. From there they will conduct raids in both iraq and syria. Defense secretary ash carter told congress the new forces will help gather intelligence and hunt down isis leaders. This is an important capability because it takes advantage of what were good at and it puts everybody on notice. Reporter in a bid to save face and aimed at the iraqis themselves, iraqs Prime Minister Haider Al Abadi said his forces were capable of defeating isis without the help of foreign combat troops. Secretary of state john kerry briefed. We will continue to work very, very closely with our iraqi partners on exactly who would be deployed, where they would be deployed. Reporter the Iraqi Military appears poised to face a critical test. The takeback of the city of ramadi. Tv announcements have warned civilians in ramadi to evacuate their homes immediately. While isis militants are reportedly threatening to kill anybody who tries. A success in ramadi may help prove that months of air strikes along with capable Ground Forces are having an impact on isis militants. But in an interview with Czech Television syrian president Bashar Al Assad said air strikes from the u. S. And its Coalition Allies were having the opposite effect. Isis has extended the recruits from around the world has increased. The battle against isis is an investigation by George Washington university found that 56 suspects tied to isis have been arrested this year. Thats the most terrorists since the 9 11 attacks. Most of the fbi investigations are taking place in new york and minnesota. Jeff pegues reports. Reporter of the 71 people charged so far with isisrelated activities, most are men and 25 years old or younger, and they come from an array of ethnic groups and socioeconomic and Educational Statuses. No common profile. Spread throughout the country. Reporter lorenzo vedino is one of the reports authors. So theres no cookie cutter i. D. Of who these people are . Could not be more heterogeneous. And thats a problem for Law Enforcement. Profiling absolutely does not work. Reporter no other case perhaps is more representative of that than the arrest of a mississippi couple in august. Mohammed dakhlalla and jalen young were arrested after the fbi noticed their proisis twitter posts. After the last year fbi director that his agents have their work cut out for them. There isnt a particular demographic. As to location or to age. The syrian travelers early on ranged Something Like 18 to 63. Socalled isisu. S. Echo chamber continues to attract followers continues to attract followers on twitter with posts like this one mujahadin are true real men. 300 identified isis sympathizers involved in the isis twitter scene were monitored during the study and nearly 1 3 of the tracked accounts are purportedly operated by women. A lot of whats said online is just talk. But the report concludes that at some point a subset of americans inside the domestic isis bubble will move from chatter to action. One day after he fired the local Police Superintendent chicago mayor rahm emanuel is facing calls for him to step down as well. Into a police killing. A white officer shot a black teenager 16 times. It took 13 months for the video of the shooting to be released and for the officer to be charged with murder. Critics now want an investigation into both emanuel and the local prosecutor. Dean reynolds reports. Reporter Police Superintendent Garry Mccarthy has been under pressure since protests followed the release of this Police Dash Cam video showing Choice Police officer Jason Van Dyke shooting 17yearold Laquan Mcdonald 16 times last october. Many, including local politicians, called for mccarthy to resign, and tuesday mayor emanuel followed through. He has become an issue rather than dealing with the issue. Reporter the mayor also announced the creation of a new Police Accountability task force. 16 shots reporter but a group of faith and Community Leaders demonstrating outside the independent Police Auditor instead. The mayor calling for a special task force is kind of like the fox watching the hen house reporter emanuel faces criticism over his administrations handling of police controversies. The city released the mcdonald shooting video only after a judge ordered it be made public. Critics say emanuel withheld release of the tape for political reasons, concerned it could affect his reelection bid. Now the mother of another young black man also shot by police here last year is fighting to have the dash cam video of that shooting released. 25yearold Ronald Johnson was killed by an officer last october. Police say he pointed a gun at them. Johnsons mother and her attorney say they have already seen the video. The dash cam video, which im not allowed to show you today, clearly shows that he was not carrying a weapon nor did he ever turn and point anything. Reporter now, the attorney for johnsons mother says that dash cam video could be released by court order as soon as december 10th. Be right back. Looking for 24 7 digestive support .

Olay regenerist renews from within, plumping surface cells for a dramatic transformation without the need for fillers with olay, you age less so you can be ageless the next republican president ial debate is less than two weeks away, and a new cbs News New York times poll shows the race for the nomination is getting tighter. Donald trump remains the frontrunner with 27 , but marco rubio and ted cruz are closing the gap, now at 17 and 16 . And ben carson is fading. Nancy cordes reports. Reporter trumps recent comments about muslims and a disabled reporter clearly have not hurt him. In fact, hes up three points since last month. Nearly half of his supporters say they have made up their minds, which is Something Else that separates him from the rest of the field. Theyre weak generally. You want to know the truth. But i wont say that. Reporter at a nighttime rally in New Hampshire trump pack and repeated his debunked claim that he saw thousands of muslims celebrating in new jersey on 9 11. And i saw it and a lot of people saw it. Reporter as proof he cited a newspaper article as well as clips from new york station wcbs and from mtv in 2001. None of which showed a large celebration. There has been no jubilee in the streets. There hahat been, you know, neighbor out in the neighborhoods having fun or thinking this was a great or glorious idea. Reporter in dubuque, iowa former Florida Governor jeb bush accused trump of saying things he knows arent accurate for shock value. Hes gone too far and hes showing a lack of seriousness as being capable of being president. Reporter bush is stuck at 5 in the latest quinnipiac poll while senators marco rubio and ted cruz are both up three points from last month. Nonetheless, bush set his sights on democratic frontrunner comments she made to charlie rose about fighting isis. In terms of thousands of combat troops like some on the republican side are recommending, i think that should be a nonstarter. Reporter bush said hed leave all options on the table. Ts is all political for her. This should be viewed as a National Security threat because thats exactly what it is. If you start by creating preconditions for americas leadership, youre not going to have followers. Its plain and simple. Reporter the Clinton Campaign tells cbs news she does support sending in more special Operations Forces, just not tens of thousands of american troops. Clinton is up seven points in the latest quinnipiac poll and now leads Bernie Sanders among democratic voters, christine, by a margin of 21. Despite her lead in the polls, Hillary Clinton is facing new questions about her close ties to wall street. Especially when she was secretety of state. Charlie rose asked her about that. The fact is i saw a lot of people when i was secretary of state and i worked really hard to increase exports from american businesses. I saw a lot of union leaders. I saw as many people as i could fit in the day who needed something from their government. Fred smith would call me up from fedex anansay the chinese governments taking away our permits, weve been in china for decades doing feferal express. Or corning, a compmpy that i knew well from my time in the senate. Theyre trying to put a tariff on us that is going to drive us out of business. You know, i worked really hard to get more jobs for americans. D that meant representing big business and Small Business and everybody in between. Have you suffered from the fact that they say youre too close to wall street . Has at hurt your image i iyour judgment, running for president . I dont think so. I have stood for a lot of regulation on big banks and on the Financial Services sector. I also represented new york and represented everybody from the Dairy Farmers to from wall street to the Dairy Farmers. Yeah. Everody. So yes, do inow people . And did i help r ruild after yes, i did. But that and did you take money from them . Yeah. But that has nothing to do with my positions. Anybody who thinks they can influence me on that ground doesnt know me very well. Why do you want to be president . Youve h h a remacable life. Youve been in the white house. There it is. There it is. Right. Well, im not doing it to move back, in although its a wonderful place. So why are you doing it . Is it about history . Is it the first woman . No. That would all be an extra added part of it. But for me i really love this country and i think this will be one of those watershed elections where were either going to get the economy to work for everybody or we are going to see increasing inequality and unfairness in a way that we havent seen since the 1920s. But you know a lot of people think the biggest problem for america is washington. Thats theheroblem. And thats part of reflected in some of the politics that we see. Thats true. Set it up. They set up this separation of powers and they made it really difficult to get things done. And some years its really hard. And were in o o of these periods where we have a minority within the other party that doesnt believe in compromise, doesnt believe in reaching consensus. But theyre attacking them. M. Thats not the w w to do it. N n because part of what you have to do is make it clear to everyone else who is in that t rty that there is room for negotiation. Police in juneau, alaska still dont know what caused the death of greg fisk who had just been elected mayor. His body was found in his home. Maria villarreal has the latest from the alaskan capital. Reporter Juneau Police tell us there were injuries found on greg fisks body when it was found here at his home by his son. But they dont have a cause of death ananthe Investigation Police arrived at juneau mayor greg fisks home after receiving a 911 call from his son. They found the body of the 70yearold inside the front room of the house with injuriey that the police say could be characterized as signs of trauma. I really, really love this town. I think its a very special place. R rorter fisks death comes less than two months after he defeated the citys incumbent mayor in a landslide. As word of fisks death spread on monday, so did rumors that he may haha been assaulted. Juneau is a small town. Its about 33,000 people here. And there are no roads in or out of the city. When gossip starts spreading, its easy for things to spread quickly. Reporter bob king was a longtime friend and neighbor of the mayor. There was a recent murder here in town that had people on edge. Death like this people do get nervous and the like. And these questions are come up. Reporter in a statement Juneau Police called the assault claims speculation and said an autopsy would be performed to determine the cause of death. They alslstell cbs news there e was no forced entry, no gunshot wound, no suspicion of suicide, and nothing to indicate drugs or drug use were volved. I do think its unlikely, however, that foul play was involved just because he was a very popular guy. He was an outgoing person. The fact that he won an election by such a wide margin. Reporter fisk lived alone and was discovered by his son ian, who was checking on his father after the mayor missed several meetings on monday. In a statement ian thanked the Juneau Community for its support and also denied suggestitis of foul play, saying, at this titi we have nonoeason to speculate as to the cause of his death and are awaiting the results of his hey buddy, lets get these dayquil liquid gels and go. But these liquid gels are new. Mucinex fast max. Its the same difference. These are multisymptom. Well so are these. This one is max strength and fights mucus. That one doesnt. Uh. Think fast you dropped something. Oh. Ill put it back on the shelf. New from mucinex fast max. The only cold and flu liquid gel thats maxstrength and fights mucus. Start the relief. Ditch the misery. Lets end this. Phil oh no. under his breath hey man hey peter. unenthusiastic oh. Haa ha joanne . Is that you . Its me. You dont look a day over 70. Am i right . Jingle jingle. If youre peter pan, you stay young forever. Its what you do. If you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance, you switch to geicic you make me feel so youngng. Its what you do. You make me feel if youre finally done with your turkey leftovers from thanksgiving, you may want to try something different. Squirrel. Believe it or not, theres 100 different ways to cook a squirrel. They even have a contest in arkansas. Reporter weekend cooking competitions are a pretty common sight south of the masondixon line. But there was something very uncommon about the one held on a recent saturday in bentonville, arkansas. The food itself. Welcome to the 2015 World Champion squirrel cookoff. Reporter thats right. Squirrel. Whether you find them adorable or think of them as rats with cuter tails, you probably never considered eating them. That is, unless youre from the south. Get to cooking whoo [ cheers ] you dont have to promote that its organic, that its grassfed, anything of that nature. It just is. I mean, this is tree to table. Reporter joe wilson is the guy behind the cookoff. He sayaycooking squirrel is s tradition that goes back generations. Its extremely important that the heritage of our community. I started this thing about five years ago to promote the sustainable use of wild game as a dinner, as a table fare. Reporter in the cookoff 36 colorfully named teams had two hours to produce a dish and a side dish. And all the squirrel being served had to be caught by the chefs themselves or their friends. Since buying or selling wild game meat is actually illegal. Contest favorites brothers blaine and Brandon Estes have won the competition twice in its fiveyear history. This year they were competing with squirrel sliders and a sqsqrrel bisque. Yeah. That sounds pretty fancy. Sounds like we know what were talking about. You dont usually hear those words in the same sentence, squirrel bisque. No. Reporter heres the thing abououcooking squirrel, ththgh. Evev if youre a twotime World Champion, youre going to get some pushback. My wife wouldnt cook this. No. And you know, our mom is a great wouldnt cook squirrel. No. If you shoot it, you have to eat it. Oh, yeah, and d u have to cook it too. Reporter and that seems to be a big part of the messaging here, that this is an example of good animal stewardship, of eating what you hunt, even if its a rodent. Heaveve reporter weve now arrived at the part of the story where we are legally obligated to ask the question, on the minds of those still watching the program. How does squirrel taste . May i . Yeah, go ahead. Thanks. Is it seasoned . Its just plain boiled. Thats good. Reporter it was my first taste of squirrel but not my last. Inexplicably, id agreed to serve as one of the contests judges. A decision i was beginning to regret. So 80 of meat inside the dish should be squirrel. If im allergic to squirrel, is that a problem . [ laughter ] was under way, though, i had to admit most of the dishes tasted really good and showed amazing creativity. Wow. Look at ththplace mat. Its like im in a moroccan restaurant. Reporter of course 20 or so dishes later and i was the one starting to feel squirrelly. Wow. Awesome. Reporter as these iron chefs tested my not so iron stomach, there was one silver lining. This year i think we were pretty light on squirrel desserts. But in the past, you know, weve had squirrel ice cream. Weve had squirrel brains with creaeacheese in a puff pastry. Im happy that this was a light year for that and i was one of the judges. The dessert category can be fairly rough.

Reporter i am at the scene of the first shooting, scott at the inland regional center, but there is a second scene, and thats where that suv was confronted. Inside two armed gunmen. Well, perhaps i should correct myself. One of them was a woman. So both of those spects were killed. Possibly a third spokt is still on the loose. Now, police do say they have anotr suspect in custody right now, but it is unclear if that person is connected to the crime. L of this today occurring, all of this occurring today with little warning, with actually no warning, and Authorities Say the suspects were armed and prepared for battle. Police say the masked gunmen were wearing body armor when they entered the building just after 11 00 a. M. And started shooting. I turned onn from walking outside and pa, pa, pa. Right here. Then they said theyre on the loose. I was right behinthe building. And i heard all the shots. Ultiple shots. Shots going off like crazy. Just one right after the other. And as i came out, we had seen a black suv flying down the ststet. R rorter terry petit got a text from his daughter inside. Shooting at my work. People shot. In the office waiting for cops. Pray for us. I am locked in my office. Thats it. Reporter whaha did your wifife see . The guy outside dressed all in black with a big gun just shooting at the window. Reporter luis gutierrezh spoke with his wife on the phone while she was trappedinside. Reporter whats your take on all this, man . This is your wife. This is my life, man. She helps our kids with autism. I dont know why anyone would do anything right there. But reporter at least 18 peoplq injured in the shooting were sent to areaa hospitals while police set up a triage area on the street. Most of the people that were wounded, most of the victims were all centrally located in one area of the facility. Reporter Jarrod Burguan is chief of the San Bernardino police department. They came to do what they did as if they were on a mission. Reporter the fbi andatf were called in and police e e ill looking for the suspects who fled the scene in a darkcolored suv. Debbie alvarado rushed to find her daughter michelle, whod been shot. I called her, she texted me and she said she was cold. She was shot in her side. And that they were they were pretending to be dead. Reporter hundreds of people were evacuated. A total of 670 work insidede assistant fbi d dector david bowdich. I will tell you right now we done know if this is a terrorist cident. Reporter and we do not have a motive for this crime as well. But we do have soso new information, scott. According to several Law Enforcement sources, syed farook, hes an inspector with the San Bernardino health partment, worked in the building where these shootings occurred. Tonight, scott, hes being called a possible suspect. Carter, thanks very much. And the suv of course was the scene of the shootout earlier. A short time ago san bebeardino police and t t fbi gave reporters the very latest information. Good evening, folks. So tis is the second officia on this. Imot going to go through all of the details that we went through in the first press conference. But i will say this. Since that time we are still working on the building hereet the inlnld r rional nter. As officers were searching the building we had mentioned in the there were some suscious devices. One of those devices is believed to potentially bee an explosive device. So theyre taking a very cautious, very slow approach to processing that building and rendering that safe. So i would imagine were going to be here for several hours as the bomb scad continues to work that part. On the investigative side we have followed up on some tips. That took us to a residence in the city of redlands. When officerer were setting up on that r ridence to watch it, there was a vehicle that was seen leaving that was suspected of possibly being involved. There ended up being a pursuit of that vehicle and eventually that pursuit came back to San Bernardino avenue between Mountain View and richardson here in e city of San Bernardino where the suspect vehicle stopped and thererwas an officer officerinvolved shooting. We had multiple officers that were involved in the shooting. We have two suspects that are dead at the scene. One is a male. We had one Police Officer that was wounded. He has injuries that are not considered to be lifethreatening. And he is at a local hospital and is expected to be okay. Of the suspectthat were that are dead at the scenene is a male, one is a female. They were dressed in kind of assaultstyle clothing, i think is probably the best way to term it. They are bothrmed with assault rifles. They are both armed with handguns. And theres also kind of some sensitive stuff around the vehicle. Were not real sure. Were e king a very cautious approach toealing with the vehicle in case there is more explosives there. With that im going to turn it over to dave bowdich with the fbi talk about some parts of the investigation. Thank you, chief. So first off, my name is io the kesikes, please. My names david bowdich. Assistant director in charge of the fbi [ buzzing ] [ tree crashes ] [ wind howling ] i know one of the Big Questions that will come up repeatedly is is this terrorism . And i am still not willing to say that we know that for sure. We are definitely making some movements that it is a possibility. We are making some adjustments to our investigation. It is a possibility. But we dont know that yet. And were not willing to go down that road yet. David, the relationship between the two dead suspects . Unknown at this point. How old approximately are they . I do not even know that. This is what about the third suspect . There was talk of a third suspect. There is a third suspect. And i dont know the disposition of that suspect. I would defer that question to the chief. What i will tell you on any indications of terrorism are this investigation, and i told a few of you already, we will go its possible it goes down that road. Its also popoible it does not. Were just not sure yet. And when we are fairly sure we will let you know. David, do you have a motive is this possibly terrorism . There are a number of potential theres a few potential things, but we just dont know. And im not willing to go down that road. Th is a very fluid active investigation. We are stillathering cts. All the headad of agencies that we have here. We are still gathering some of these facts ourselves because this scene is strewn throughout the city and into another city. And its incredibly fluid. And thats just the way these things well get there when we get there. Any information about the identity of the third suspect, description, name, anything . I should have included thatt in my whehei talked aoment ago. So as i said, we had an officerinvolved shooting on San Bernardino avenue between Mountain View and richardson. There were two people in the vehicle. Both of thosos people are deceased. There was a third person that we do not know if they were involved. We have that person detained. I dont have any information on who that person is yet, and w certainly dodoot know if they were involved. Its possible that they were not. In addition to that and the reason we put things out on social media that we asked for people to shelter in place in those neighborhoods is because there were some folks that called in and had reported that they heard folks they heard somebody jumping fences and they reported some of that activity in the neighborhood. We dont know if that was possibly responding officers, but we took a cautiousproach. We locked dodo the neighborhood. We asked people to shelter in place. And we searched that neighborhood extensively. As of a couple minutes ago we just got word that that search has been wrapped up, no additional folks have been contacacd or seen there, so we feel that that area is safe and we can lift that shelter in place order there. Do you have any information on why this location . We do not hava motive. Approximate age of the suspects. We done i do not have that right now. Keep in mind that i said there were some things that were very, very cautious approach in apapoaching those suspects. So we e st are not that far into the investigation yet. [ inaudible ]. Im sorry . Possibility these suspects may have had suicide vests or something sisilar . I dont know. W. I have not heard suicide vest, no. Do you believe this situation is all clear, that people are safe, or there are still more shooters potentially out there . We feel confident about the neighborhood where the officerinvolved shoototg took place that we have secured that and theres nobody outstanding there. Reasonably cfident on that. On the broader scale of the investigation. As i said, early on wead information there were potentially three shooters. We are still at a point where we are tracking down that information, were going to try to continue to identify if there was a third person involved or potentially even more people that might have been involved in the planning but were still pretty early on that part of the investigation. Holiday party i cant listen to all of them. Thes a report out thatt the Holiday Party somebody left with two other people, guns, and started firing. Any truth to that . So there are i have heard that they were in a meeting or Holiday Party type event at the inland regional centnt. Somebody did lelee, but we haha no idea if that is the person that came back. So thats a possibility then . Somebody did leave. There was some type of dispute or something w wn somebody left that party, but we have no idea if those are the people that came back. Do you have any idea you said long guns initially. They were assault style weapons. Yeah, that type of weapon, yes. Are there explosives near that black suv currently . ,there was a report that they potentially threw what wasas identified as a pipebomb. I think weve rendered that device safe. It was not an explosive. I think were still working on the vehicle and making sure that that is safe. Can you give us anything on description n these suspects, just the way it was described to me as and i said this in the first press conference. They came dressed and equipped and i think the people we have at the scene that are deceased are dressed in that way. Theyre dressed in dark kind of Tactical Gear. Ethnicity, anything like that . I dont know. Since you served theearch warrant, is it your understanding i didnt say we served a search warrant. Okay. We understand you served a search warrant,ere being told. So is it your understanding they were holed up in the general area then the whole time, they never left . No, no. There was information as part of the investigation as we started to develop information, there was one particular focus area. A couple. But one particular focus area it was one of those followup focus ars that led to the house in redlands that led to the pursuit that led to the a aive shooting. Did they live there . Was that their house . The address was connected to the followup we had. Are, nor do i know if that is where they lived. [ inaudible ]. They were carrying assault style weapons. Ak47 i dont know the specific caliber or make or model of the gun. The people in the suv. There w we two people in the suv. Both of them are deceased. During this gunfire between the suspects and police . I dont know. [ inaudible ]. Dont know. Okay. Were going to t t too another press conference sometime around 8 30, 9 00. Hopefully well have more information for you at that time. Thank you. We have been watching the late News Conference byy Jarrod Burguan, who is the police chief in San Bernardino. To recap a few of the highlights, Police Acting on a tip were led to that vehicle, the suv. Two people, two suspects were killed in the suv. The police chief said they were armed with assault rifles and pistols. From the scene has been detained, but police are not saying he is the third suspect that they have been seaeahing for. President obama today was being interviewed by Norah Odonnell of cbs this morning when he he got word of the shooting. Mr. President , it appears theres been another mass shshting in californrn. What do you know . Well, we dont know that much yet. Its still an active situation. Fbi is on the ground offering assistance t local officials as they need it. It does appear that there are going to be some casualties. And you know, obviously our hearts go out to the victims and the families. The one thing we do know is that we have a pattern now of Mass Shootings in this country that has no parallel anywhere else in the world. And there are some steps we could take not to eliminate every one of these mass odds that they dont happen as frequently. Common sense gun safety laws, stronger background checks, and for those who are concerned about terrorism, some may be aware of the fact that we have a nofly list where people cant get on planes with you those same people who we dont allow toly can go into a store right now in the united ates and buy a fireaea and theres nothing that we can do to stop them. Thats a law that needs to be changed. And so my hope is that wee able to o ntain this particular shooting, and we dont yet know what the motives of the shooters are but what we dl know is there are steps s can t te t t make americans safer and that we should come together on a bipartisan basis at every level as opposed to normal. We should never think that this is something that just happens in the ordinary course of events because it doesnt happen with the same frequency in other countries.

One of the Witnesses Today is sally abdelmajid, who works at the inland regional center, the building where the attack took place. She saw the attackers enter the building, and we spoke to her by phone. I heard shotsts fired, andndt was from an automatic weapon. Very unusual. Why would we hear shots . As we look out the window, a second set of shots goes off, and its pop, p, pop, pop. And we saw a man fall to the floor. Then we just look and we saw three men dressed in all black military attire with vests on, Holding Assault rifles. Andheyoon as they opened up the doors to building 3, and one of them opened up the door he starts to shoot all over into the room. Thats the room we typically have conferences and we just heard more gunshots go off. I got out my phone. I reached for my phone. I called 911. And i hid under my desk. I didnt see any more. I just heard more gunshots go off as i was talking to dispatch. We went into my managers office, locked the door, barricaded it. We heard running and things happening upstairs. About 3 minutes later someone came to the door and knocked on the door but we didnt obviously answer and another 15 minutes later someone came and took us into a secure room. Ms. Abdelmageed, can you describe to me in as much detail as you can, what did the gunman look like . He had a black hat on a a from my view all i could see was just a black hat and black longsleeve shirt, possibly gloves on. He had black cargo pantson, the kinds with zippers on the side and the big puffy pockets. He had a huge assault rifle. He had extra ammo. He was coming ready for he was coming ready for something. To reload. I dont know. He had magazines. I couldnt see what else. I saw i just saw three dressed exactly the same. Youre certain you saw three men . Yes. It looked like their skin color was white.

The attack happened durg a holiday luncheon attended by workers from the county department of health. The motive is not known. Ou Homeland Security correspondent jeff pegues is following the investigation. Jeff . Scott, some of the leads that investigators are getting to this point have come because of a name that surfaced really early onn in the minutes after this shooting. Law enforcement sources, multiple Law Enforcement sources confirm for cbs news that one of the possible suspects mentioned is syed farook. He worked for the department of health. Again, this is a name that has been confirmed by multiple Law Enforcement sources as a possible suspect in thi shooting. Also were getting new information about what was found in the vehicle. Remember, there was this black vehicle that was described as leaving the sce of the shooting. According to Law Enforcement sources, an ar15 style rifle was found in that vehicle along with two pistols as well. Investigators are right now in addition, as the vehicle was fleeing, the suspects inside, according to Law Enforcement officials, threw a piece of metal from the vehicle. It was a piece of metal pipe is how it was described to us. It was thrown from the suv. As it turns out, it was not an exexosive device. There was some concern that that piece of metal was some sort of pipe bomb type device. But that was not the case. Again, two of the suspects a dead. That according to invesesgators who released that information just minutes ago. A male and a female. Investigators are still looking into the possibility that a third suspect was involved as well.

Theres no word whether the latest Mass Shootings in california are the work of terrorists or anyone connected with the islamic state. But overseas t United States militarys getting a powerful new ally in the battle against the terror group. The British Parliament voted to allow the Royal Air Force to begin strikes against isis targets in syria. The vote came after a raucous tenhour debate. But in the end Prime Minister David Cameron convinced the lawmakers. In moving this motion im not pretending that the answers are simple. The situation in syria is incredibly complex. Im nono overstating the contribution that our incredible servicemen and women can make. Neither am i ignoring the risks of military action. Nor am i pretending that one part of the answer. Im absolutely clear that we must pursue a comprehensive strategy that also includes political, diplomatic, and huhunitarian action. D i know that the longterm solution in syria as in iraq must ultimately be a government that represents all of its pople. And one that can work with us to defeat the evil o oanization of isil for good. But mr. Speaker, notwithstanding all of this in a moment. Notwithstanding all of this, there is a simple question at the heart of the debate today. We face a fundantal threat t t our security. Isil have brutally murdered british hostages. Theyve inspired the worst terrorist attack against british people since 77 on the baepz off tunisia, and theyve plotted atrocity after atrocity on the streets here at home.

Defense secretary ash carter told congress the new forces will help gather intelligence and hunt down isis leaders. This is an important capapality because it takes advantage of what were good at and it puts everybody on notice. Reporter in a bid to save face and aimed at the iraqis themselves, iraqs Prime Minister Haider Al Abadi said his forces were capable of defeating isis without the help of foreign combat troops. Said the iraqis wereully briefed. We will continue to work very, very closely with our iraqi partners on exact lyly who would be deployed, where they would be deployoy. Repororr the iraqi m mitary appears poised to face a critical test. The takeback of the city of ramadi. Tv announcers have warned civilians in ramadi to evacuate their homes immediately. While isis militants are reportedly threatening to kill anybody who tries. A success in ramadi may help prove that months of air strikes along with capable Ground Forces are having an impact on isis militants. But in an interview with Czech Television syrian president Bashar Al Assad said air strikes from the u. S. And i i Coalition Allies wereaving the opposite effect. Isis has extended the recruits from around the world has increased. Reporter the battle against isis is also taking play here in the United States.

Mujahadin are true real men. 300 identified isis sympathizers involved in the twitter scene were monitored during the study and nearly 1 3 of the tracked accounts are purportedly operated by women.

Nonetheless, bush set his sights on democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton, and these comments she made to charlie rose about fighting isis. In terms of thousands of combat troops like some on the republican side are recommending, i think that reporter bush said hed leave all options on the tae. This is all politicalor r. This should be viewed as a National Security threat because thats exactly what it is. If you start by creating preconditions for americas leadership, youre not going to have followers. Its plain and simple. Reporter the Clinton Campaign tells cbs news she does support sending in more special Operations Forces, just not tens of thousands of american troops. Clinton is up seven points in the latest quinnipiac poll and now leads Bernie Sanders among democratic voters, christine, by a margin of 21. Despite her lead in the polls, Hillary Clinton is facing new questions about her close ties to wall street. Especially when she was secretary of state. Charlie rose asked her about that. The fact is i saw a lot of people when i was secretary of state and i worked really harar to increase exports from american businesses. I saw a lot of business people, i saw a lot of union leaders. Fit in the day who needed something from their government. Fred smith would call me up from fedex and say the chinese governments taking away our permits, weve been in chinaor decades doing federal express. Or corning, a company that i knew well from my time in the senate. Theyre trying to put a tariff on us that is going to drive us out of business. Or you know, i worked really hard to get more jobs for americans. And that meant representing big business and Small Business and everybody in between. Have you suffered from the fact that theyay youre too close to wall street . Has that hurt your image in your judgment, running for president . I dont think so. I have stood for a lot of regulation on big banks and on the Financial Services sector. I also represented new york and represented everybody from the Dairy Farmers to from wall street to the Dairy Farmers. Yeah. Everybody. And did i help rebuild after 9 11 . Yes, i did. And did you take money from them . Yeah. But that has nothing to do with my positions. Anybody who thinks they can influence me on that ground doesnt know mvery well. Why do you want to be president . Youve had a remacable life. Youveveeen in the white hohoe. There it is. There it is. Right. Well, im not doing it to move back, in although its a wonderful place. So why are you doing it . Because i really is it about history . Is it the first woman . No. That would all be an extra added part of it. But for me i really love this country and i think this will be one of those watershed elections where were either going to get the economy to work for everybody or we are going to see increasing inequality and unfairness in a way that we havent seen sinin the 1920s. But you know a lot of people think the biggest problem for america is washington. Thats the problem. And thats part of reflected in some of the politics that we see. But look at the way our founders set it up. They set up this separation of powers and they made it really difficult to get things done. And some years its really hard. And were in one of these periods where we have a minority within the other party that doesnt believe in compromise, doesnt bleeb in reachchg consensus. Bututheyre attack them. Thats not the way to do it. No. Because part of what you have to do is make it clear to everyone else who is in that party that there is room f f negotiation. Police in juneau, alaska still dont know what caused the death of greg fisk who had just been elected mayor. His body was found in hisis home. Maria villarreal has the latest from the alaskan capital. Reporter Juneau Police tell us there were injuries found on greg fisks body wheheit was found here at his home by his son. But they dont have a cause of poce arrived at juneau mayor greg fifis home after receiving a 911 call from his son. They found the body of the 70yearold inside the front room of the house withinjuries that the police say could be characterized as sig of auma. I really, really love this town. I think its a very special place. Reporter fisks death comes less than two months after he defeated the citys incumbent mar in a landslide. As word of fiskss death spread on monday, so did rumors that he may have been assaulted. Juneau is a small town. Its about 33,000 people here. And there are no roads in or out of the city. When gossip starts spreading, its easy for things to spread quickly. Reporter bob king was a longtime friend a a neighbor of the mayor. There was a recent murder here in town that had people on edge. When you have an unattended nervous and the like. And these questions come up. Reporter in a statement Juneau Police called the assault claims speculation and said an autopsy would be performed to determine the cause of death. They also tell cbs news there was no forced entry, no gunshot wound, no suspicion of suicide, and nothing to indicate drugs or drug use were invovoed. I do think its unlikely, however, that foul play was involved just because he was a very popular guy. He was an outgoing person. The fact that he won an election by such a wide margin. And was d dcovered by his son ian, who was checking on his father after the mayor missed several meetings on monday. In a statement ian thanked the Juneau Community for its support and alal denied suggestions of foul play, saying, at this time we have no reason to speculate as to the cause of his death and are awaiting the results of his will be right back.

They even have a contest in arkansas. Reporter weekend cooking competitions are a pretty common sight south of the masondixon line. But there was something ver uncommon about the one heldd on a recent saturday in bentonville, arkansas. The food itself. Welcome to the 2015 World Champion squirrel cookoff. Reporter thats right. Squirrel. Whether you find them adorable or think of them as rats with cuter tails, you probably never considered e eing them. That is, unless youre from the south. Get to cooking whoo [ cheers ] you dont have to promote that its organic, at its grasssd, anything of that nature. It just is. I mean, this is tree to table. Reporter joe wilson is the guy behind the cookoff. He says cooking squirrel is a tradition that goes back generations. Its extremely important that we hold on to the culture and the heritage of our community. Years ago to promote the sustainable use of wild game as a dinner, as a table fair. Reporter in the cookoff 36 colorfully named teams had two hours to produce a dish and a side dish. And all the squirrel being served had to be caught by the chefs themselves or their friends. Since buying or selling wild game meaea is actually illegal. Contest favorites brothers blaine and Brandon Estes have won the competition twice in its fiveyear history. This year they w we competiti with squirrel sliders and a squirrel bisque. Yeah. That sounds pretty fancy. Sounds like we know what were talking about. You dont usually hear those words in the same sentence, squirrel bisque. No. Reporter heres the thing about cooking squirrel, though. Even if youre a twotime World Champion, youre going to get some pushback. My wife wouldnt cook this. No. And you know, ourur mom is a grere wouldnt cook squirrel. No. If you shoot it, you have to eat it. Oh, yeah, and you have to cook it too. Repororr and that seems to be a big part of the messaging here, that this is an example of good animal stewardship, of eating what you hunt, even if its a rodent. Heaven. Reporter wee now arrived at the part of the story where we are legally obligated to ask the question, on the minds of those still watching the program. How does squirrel taste . May i . Yeah, go ahead. Thanks. Is it seasoned . Its just plain boiled. Thats good. Reporter it was my first taste of squirrel but not my last. Inexplicably, id agreed to serve as one of the contests judges. A decision i was beginning to regret. So 80 of meat inside the dish should be squirrel. If im allergic to squirrel, is that a problem . [ laughter ] reporter once the judging was under way, though, i had to really good and showed amazing creativity. Wow. Look at the place mat. Its like im in a moroccan restaurant. Reporter of course 20 or so dishes latat and i was the o o starting to feel squirrelly. Wow. Awesome. Reporter as these iron chefs tested my not so iron stomach, there was one silver lining. This year i think we were pretty light on squirrel desserts. But in the past, you know, weve had squirrel ice cream. Weve had squirrel brainsith cream cheese in a puff pastry. Im happy that this was a light year for that and i was one of the judges. The dessert category can be fairly rough. Reporter the days winning dish tururd out to bequirrel empanadas with cilantro lime dipping sauce. It seems fitting for a contest thats embraced by some and maligned by others that the winning dish was empanadas,s, something thatasnt even imagine how your doctor feels. As a urologist, i have performed 9,421 and a half prostate exams. So why do i do it . Because i get paid. Und. On this side of the glove i know prostate exams can save lives. So, if you are a man over 50, talk to you doctor to see if a a ostate exam is right for you. If we can do it, so can you.
