all right, we re here in san bernardino as part of the continuing coverage of the mass shooting here. 14 people murdered, 17 more injured, many fighting for their lives in local hospitals. the analysis on the investigation is obviously about motive but specifically what went into this. it looks like it was planned by every way you would focus on the analysis. maybe it was set off by what happened at this holiday party. certainly, there was plenty that happened before it. we have new information on it right now. cnn can report that the male suspect in this case, who was killed by police after the murders here, had traveled to saudi arabia at least twice. we can report that in 2013, he went there for hajj, you know what this is, that s the muslim spiritual trip, he went there and did that. but what else may have happened during that time? there s other reports going out
you didn t want to betray the trust of what you had known and been told but now that we re reporting it we can get some better context on this. if there s evidence this guy was radicalized, that goes to why the authorities are looking at who else knew and how did he learn to do what he did with that bomb. was he a lone wolf, self-radicalized? we know that online hate magazines generated by bad guy groups often teach you how to do things, like how to use toys and cell phones as detonators. maybe that s why it didn t work, because he was teaching himself. you say they were looking in that house for a reason and they found things. the investigators have been working all night long. they know a lot more today than they did yesterday about what their motive was, who these people were and who they may have had contact with. so i think we re going to hear in the press conference coming up here some very specific things that will tell us more about what the motive was and, as tragic as this
know the police have the ability to act as warriors when they need to. there s the bigger issue, what the president s task force talked about. the notion of guardians which is the highest level that a society gives to the group of people who protect them. it speaks to more than just running and shooting and cooking and booking and all the things we might think about in the warrior side of policing. it s more about being responsive and fair and impartial in our policing and that s where the guardian piece comes in. it s a huge shift from warrior to guardian where guardians can act in a warrior mode like they did yesterday. we re getting information that suggests these two knew what they were doing. the idea you pick up an ar-15 and start shooting it, that is naive. you need to know how to use a weapon like that. it s not simple. the local leaders are moving up right now. as soon as they get ready to speak, we ll stop. but one last point on this. what we saw yesterday, you don t learn
call now to request your free decision guide. and learn more about the kinds of plans that will be here for you now - and down the road. i have a lifetime of experience. so i know how important that is. part of cnn s continuing coverage of the mass shooting here. 14 people had their lives stolen from them by two shooting suspects. a man and a woman. 17 others are still fighting for their life with different degrees of injuries in local hospitals. we re awaiting a presser from the san bernadi diardino police, the sheriff and the fbi. there are many agencies, federal agencies, involved in this. want to bring in former chief jim bueerman here. it is interesting and instructive how not only the local police work so quickly but
either that or it speaks to a change in tactics. i think we should be very concerned about what these folks did. it has significant implication for policing in the united states. how so? so we ve got this discussion going on about the difference between a guardian and a warrior mentality. yesterday, you saw police officers acting clearly in that warrior mind-set. they were taking rounds and they re going to give it right back. but we live in a democratic society. we want democratic policing. we want to build trust and confidence in the police across our communities. and doing that in a way that doesn t offend people. at the same time we re trying to protect the community from incidents like this is going to be very complicated. especially if the self if this turns out to be an incident of self-radicalism and those people have changed tactics where they re not going to blow themselves up, but they re going to hit and run like they did here, i think this creates huge problems for
