investigation a little bit. there was talk of a person who left the meeting early. this was an event taking place with em proies at the inland regional center. mr. farook is a county employee. he works with his title as an environmental specialist in the public heflt department. has been employed there for five years. he was at the party. he did leave the party early under some circumstances that were described as angry or something of that nature. that s the information we were following up on when we encounters him back near this incident in red lands. as we now confirmed, h he is within of the deceased. a little bit about the response that we had. some questions that were asked earlier. from the time that we received our first 911 call of a shooting taking place inside the residents or inside the
that person is, their involvement, if any, in this incident. we do now have a clear narrative or a clearer picture of what took place here a few hours ago. isha? we certainly do have. a much clearer picture. let me ask you quickly. i know you re about half a mile away from the redlands apartment, that the authorities have been searching, using robotic devices. at this stage, do we know if they ve been able to enter the premises? any authorities? any individuals? right now, with the search, the townhouse that has continued to go on for quite some time, as we ve seen they re using the robots to move into the townhouse. at this point, there s no indication, no positive indication, there could be explosives in there. what they have told us because there were explosives at the inland regional center, where
sayeed farook. joining us now, jim cavanaugh. in terms of what i just summarized, is that basically does that comport with what you understand tonight? right, rachel, exactly. you see, what would happen is, you treat the scene of the mass murder with any package found there, as if it could be an ied or a homemade bomb. and so you just methodically, you know, if everybody s wounded, day come in with the bomb squad, they have robots and x-ray machines and they can check that out. the house at redlands that we described and you showed earlier, they forced a door with a ram on the front of the bear cat s.w.a.t. vehicle and they re going to go in there as well with robots. this is maybe, looks like the house where the shooters went to, the man and a woman who are
people who lost their life. i m sad that people lost their life and there s victims out there. i am in shock that something like this could happen. the brother-in-law of syed farook speaking a short time ago. we re wait on another police news conference. they ve been holding these regularly, bringing us new information each time the shorts have come out to talk. we will bring this to you live. in red lands, not too far away from where the inlands took place.
it speaks to preparation. now, how much training they had, that s something the investigators will determine, whether they were going to shooting ranges on the weekend and practicing. whether they were doing other types of training. the investigation will determine that. and talk to me about the situation playing out in redlands, california, where the apartment is. we know authorities are using robotic devices to scan the environment, so to speak. talk to me about the challenges and just how such an operation unfolds. the first thing that has to be done is the scene has to be made safe. that s what the robot is doing. it s making it safe for the crime scene people. our evidence response teams and the local crime scene investigators to go in and process the crime scene. this may be an overabundance of caution. but you have to make sure the scene is safe for the crime scene people to do their jobs. they re probably waiting to go look at his computer, look at literature that he has
