amass the weapons. thank you so much. coming up snoo no warning signs, no flags. the family members describe them as continue to cover this breaking news on this new-found isis connection ahead. plus the smell of gunpowder was still in air. one of the officers to describe at a mass shooting a surreal . also we re learning more about the victims. 14 lives cut short by this horror. mothers, a new father planning a trip to disneyland, a young woman with a contagious smile. we ll have ther parties straight ahead.
an attack of terrorism. we didn t have that until this story started breaking, not only the direct connection for a pledge of support for al baghdadi. the timing is significant, if you re posting that during an event, you re indicating that was at least some of your motivation for conducteding the event. early on you re saying, how can that be linked to isis? somehow, some way, clearly it does. this changes the game for me. just to go to the investigation angel, again, this was prapd gleaned from looking at the cell phones that were crushed. we know a hard drive was missing. what do investigators do now to continue to look at these threads? they re obviously yielding stunning information. without a doubt. i m sure the fbi has a computer team that is far above any on this earth. they can go through this hard drive and be able to pick out a little information. a lot of people think, when you wipe a hard drive that all the
speak the regime who are actually fighting isis, the syrian people. we cannot sit and watch and complain about what can we do about daesh or isis, we need to support those picking up the fight with isis. we. how do you fight that fight here? that fight does appear to be in the united states now. let s put things in perspective. if this case is true, it would be one of many one of a handful of cases. out of 6 million american muslims, i m not worried about it. there s no appeal for isis and it s destructive ideology within the muslim communities. the federal government is concerned about it, the fbi is concerned about, it the cia, our intelligence officials are concerned about it. and it is their job to be concerned. one case is too many, no doubt about it. one case is too many.

attackers to launch some kind of attack in the united states. isis is trying to instigate these attacks in any way it can, through social media. one of their top leaders issued a fatwa, losing there s isis have also, as jim was saying, they re also drilling into their followers, the idea you ve got to claim it in some way for the so-called caliphate. there have been a number of instances where that has taken place, especially in paper where they report, they were trying to open up the room. in february, with a facebook just a few minutes before. a couple of other examples as well. so this would allow isis to take ownership. doesn t it seem like some insult to injury that they would
