Party for holiday employees. The suspects are 26yearold syed farook, and a woman he was in a relationship with, either his girlfriend or wife, 27 cash phone yearold Tashfeen Malik. The question is why. Mr. Farook is a county employee, environmental specialist in the Public Health 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. Thats the information we were following up on when we encountered him back near this residence in redlands which led to the pursue and the officerinvolved shooting. And its now confirmed he is one of the deceased. He was at the party. He left the party. He came back and opened fire. The initial reports had three gunmen in the attack, a third person was held for questioning, but police are fairly certain there were just two shooters, both of whom are now dead. The bomb squad finally disposed of a few explosive devices found at the shooting scene. They finished that up just a few hours ago. Want to bring in cnns john vause live this morning in San Bernardino. Whats the latest . We had a lot of details overnight from authorities here, from Law Enforcement officials about what happened. Syed farook was a county employee, had the confrontation at the christmas party. Officials say he left angry, and thats when he came back with his wife, girlfriend, shot and killed 14 people. They left in an suv. We heard that from a number of witnesses. That black suv. Because they had his name, syed farook, that led them to this location in red lands. This is where they have a townhouse linked to farook. Theyve been searching that, trying to get access to that with robots. Nobody has gone in there yet because of concerns of explosives. Theres no tangible proof at this point that there are explosives or boobytraps inside the down house. Police are concerned because they found explosives inside that Community Center. Which they had detonated and had been trying to clear. Out of an abundance of caution, they evacuated a number of homes around this townhouse, told other resident heres to stay in place. They cleared out an area that they consider safe. They are taking their time getting into the apartment. They are now confident there were just the two shooters involved, syed farook and his wife or girlfriend, Tashfeen Malik. As we say, this is an active investigation. Theres the crime scene, theres the townhouse here in redlands and farooks office. Theyre now trying to find out who else might be involved. And theyre looking for a motive. At this point theyre not calling it terrorism but not willing to rule that out. Everyone wants to know why, that includes farooks family. In the last couple of hours, we did hear from his brotherinlaw, he told reporters that he didnt see this coming. Nobody in the family saw this coming. I have no idea. I have no idea why he would do that. Why would he do Something Like this . I have absolutely no idea. Im in shock myself. I cannot express how sad i am for, you know, what happened today. I mean, i my condolences to the people who lost their lives. Very sad that people lost their lives and the victims out there. I wish speedy recovery to them. Im in shock that Something Like this could happen. Again, we come back to that question of why. Why did farook and his partner go on this killing spree. What was the motive . What authorities are hoping for, once they get access to the townhouse and look at farooks office, they may be able to piece all of this together and come up with an idea as to why 14 people were killed here. 17 others wounded. Many of them remain in critical condition. John . Interesting this morning, were hearing this couple left their child. They had after 6monthold child, and they left the child with the kids grandmother in the morning before leaving, they said, to go to a doctors appointment. Exactly. This is coming from a spokesperson from an Islamic Center in the area saying that the couple dropped off the little girl. The grandmother at the time didnt think anything was out of the ordinary. She was minding the baby, the child. And then when she started hearing these reports on television of a shooting at the Inland Regional Center, she knew that farook worked there, she became concerned. She repeatedly tried to call, there was no answer on the cell phones. Thats when she became concerned. Apparently the first she learned of it, were told, is when she was contacted by a reporter asking if she was related to syed farook. Much like the brotherinlaw we just heard from, she was left stunned by the news. Four weapons, we understand, john, involved at this point. All bought legally, two long guns, two handguns . Yeah, this is another angle of the investigation, which officials here have been following up. The guns were all purchased legally. Two linked directly to syed farook. Two of them linked to somebody else who we are told officials are trying to track down, talk to them and find out how the guns were purchased legally, how they were used in this mass shooting. So, whats interesting about this, it was obviously well planned out. This took some time. There are possible explosive devices involved. But at the same time there might have been some trigger at this party . What are investigators saying about those two elements of this that seem sort of opposed but somehow linked . Well, we heard from San Bernardinos police chief who said this went way beyond a spur of the moment thing. There was a lot of planning involved. The theory is was this preplanned, was that argument at the Holiday Party the trigger which set this chain of events into motion or was it planned to happen all along . At this point they dont know. There are interesting details about the explosives they found inside the Community Center, apparently there was a bag of rudimentary explosives and a Remote Control car which authorities believe they were going to use somehow to detonate remotely. They did find a Remote Control for that vehicle, and those explosives in the black suv, which they used to leave the scene. So the working theory is either they were going to detonate those explosives and they were simply out of range and that part of the plan didnt work, or they changed their mind, didnt go through with that part of the plan. There was a lot of planning. They will be looking to see if anyone else was involved in the planning in all of this. Wow. Third person was detained for questioning, not believed to be a shooter at this point. John vause in San Bernardino, surprising it could have been even worse with those mrexplosis found at the scene. A lot more information to come. Its a profoundly traumatic day for those trapped inside the Inland Regional Center as the gunmen stalked the building. This woman was barricaded inside a room with 50 others. Became all so real when we had to lock ourselves in the conference room. Not get out until Law Enforcement said it was okay to leave the building. From there we had to come out with our hands up, be escorted away to the golf course and stay there for hours. Hours. Seeing clothing of deceased ones in the street. People crying. Coworkers crying. Us wanting to get to our children, families and loved one ones. That was the shooting itself. About four hours later was the shootout when officers closed in on the suspects in the suv. You can hear it all unfold on the radio traffic. You can hear how calm the dispatchers were coordinating this effort with gunfire in the backgroun background. Last seen towards gould. Do we have a clothing description. Male, dark skinned is all i have on this frequency. We dont need more people here unless its a s. W. A. T. Team. 902 what is your location . San bernardino and shedden. One guy down. One guy in the back of a car. We have a suspect vehicles car. Were going ahead and extract him. Wait for the bear cat. Copy. Right now we have one down outside the car. One down inside the car. From what we understand, one is on the run. For hours difficult for people to know what was going on, what kind of danger they were in. And emotional reunions happening at a Community Center nearby where many of the 700 Inland Regional Center evacuees were taken. Many were on the edge getting updates from loved ones as the shooting unfolded, many of them by text. She said the guy came into her office and started shooting. They locked themselves in her office. They seen bodies on the floor and she said right now ambulance are taking people out in stretchers. She was able to get out the building already. Theres still people inside. She told me she thought it was a drill. They had been practiced drills. They were shuttled into a room. Police showed up. Thank god there werent more casualties. Did she text or call . Shes outside with the Fire Department earlier. Did she text you . She text me right now what did she say about what she saw or heard. She wasnt too clear. She was shaken up. Emergency situation at my work, active shooter onsite. Were all locked in offices on the floor. Please pray for us. As a parent, as a father, thats the worst thing you can have come across your phone. A long, awful day for the people of San Bernardino, california right now. I imagine many still up watching this trying to figure out whats going on. The latest. Two suspects dead at this point. 14 people dead. 17 injured. Well have the latest on the breaking news of this massacre from San Bernardino, california. President obama weighed in and plus new information about possible travels that the gunmen took. News coverage of a mass shooting in San Bernardino, california. The investigation into the attack is still unfolding, but heres what we know. Police say around 11 00 a. M. , two suspects, syed farook and Tashfeen Malik burst into a holiday luncheon at the Inland Regional Center and started shooting. 14 people were killed. 17 injured. Police say they have no clear picture of the shootings motive, only that farook worked in the Health Department with many in the luncheon, for about five years. Farook left that event abruptly. That led police to go by farooks townhouse when he sped off in a black suv, police gave chase. Both he and malik, who may have been his wife or girlfriend, died in a shootout with Law Enforcement. Police say they are just beginning to process the Inland Regional Center crime scene and remove the bodies of the victims. I indicated early on we have victims at the scene. Up until within the last couple of hours, we have been working on what we felt were explosive devices left at the scene. We confirmed we believe those were explosive devices. I think about an hour or two ago, the bomb squad disposed of those particular items, so we are just now getting in there and starting to process the crime scene per se. I dont have the identification on any of the victims at this point. They found a bag at the crime scene with some kind of Remote Controlled explosive device that did not go off. Theyre investigating that. President obama was asked about the shooting in an interview. He told cbs news that San Bernardino continues a pattern of gun violence in this country that he says is unique in the world. The president called for a bipartisan political effort to stop or at least reduce such attacks. Theres some steps we could take. Not to eliminate every one of these Mass Shootings but to improve the odds that they dont happen as frequently. Commonsense gun safety laws, stronger background checks. And for those who are concerned about terrorism, you know, some may be aware of the fact that we have a nofly list where people cant get on planes but those same people who we dont allow to fly could go into a store right now in the United States and buy a firearm and there is nothing we can to the stop them.
