And thats going to take time and cooperation between police on the ground and federal agents. Theyreag looking at those communications and as you know, twoow cell phones and a hard drive damaged by the couple.

Take a listen. Ill tell you that something that although we train for it, youre never actually prepared for it. My goal was to assemble an entry team and engage the a aive shooter. This mindset and type of training became indoctrinated in us after the columbine incident and that was the goal. As we made our way to the east side, evident that the reports we were getting were 100 true. There were victims that w we obviously deceased outside of the Conference Room and i relaid that information to the other responding officers and again requested assistance. It was unspeakable the carnage of people injured and unfortunataty alreadydead. And the pure panic on the face of thosee individuals that were still in need and needing to be safe. And when wee entered, there was fresh gunas powder and the smell of gun powder in the air leading me to believe that there was in fact n there were in fact shooters still. It was extremely loud. The fire alarms were going off. There were people who were obviously injured and obviously in great amounts of pain and that was evident in the moans and the wails that we were hearing in the room. It was very loud in the room and we had fire sprinklers going off in the roomnd that was adding to further chaos.

Everybody k kw what their job was and that was to bring calm toal chaos. Reporter moving now to investigators who are digging into syed farooks background and perhaps understand a motive. Pete williams with more on that. Reporter investigators say theyre analyzing a trove of evidence found in farooksouse ininourereands, including c cl phones and computers. They found indications that he was communicating by phone and social media with people in the u. S. And overseas during the in radical jihad. Another important discovery, an explosive device left behind at the shooting scene. Three pipi bombs tied together with a remote detinator and inside the suv was the Remote Control itself, made from a remote for a model car. That same design was used to set off the boston m mathon bombs and investigators are lookingt whether that same design was available somewhere else from a nonterrorist source. U. S. Officials are also looking at his overseas travel. Twice to saudi arabia where he said he met his wife and to pakistan where shes from. , weont know whether this is workplace rage or something larger or a combination of both. Reporter they also say the they found 4500 rounds of ammunition and pipe bombs in the redlands house. And the v was a rental picked up three or four days ago. Theres nothing impulsive ul boit this about this shooting at all. Reporter so with all that fire power, did they have other attacks in mind . We dont know yet the extent of their plans.

I had an opportunity to speak with the director of the Islamic Center of riverside and thats where the shooter and his wife were members of the congregation at one time. I asked what he knew about syed farook p farook. We know him as a quiet guy, a nice guy, a peaceful guy. He spoke in a soft manner and very much into himself. But he never had any sort of argument. He never had a dispute with us he came as a regular worshipper and for him to do Something Like this is beyond me. Unexplainable. I dont think anybody would sit down and explain why did he do that right now and im sure even his own parents would be very much shocked and saddened by whats happened. And shiba, he also told me, the way that farook worshipped, he would come in on the opposite side of the mosque, avoiding the rest of the individuals, saying that he was very antisocial as a result.
