San Bernardino shooters participated in target practice
A short time later both were killed in a shootout with police.
“That target practice in one occasion was done within days of this event”, he told reporters.
Galletta said last week’s shooting was horrific, but it won’t change how Riverside Magnum Range does business.
Cardona, the county spokeswoman, said the active-shooter training was held in November or December of 2014 at the conference room that the health department rented for this year’s party. Fourteen people were killed. Galletta says the person told him that was probably because it was new.
The Farook family attorneys describe Malik as a reserved housewife who hewed to traditional behavior.
While radical Islamic groups at times have mobilized women as suicide bombers, and extremist women may exhort their men to attacks, it is extremely rare in conservative Muslim societies for female jihadists to take part in actual combat, as Malik did.
D’Angelo said that Enrique Marquez purchased two other weapons, the assault rifles.
Twenty-one people were hurt, in addition to the 14 dead.
Asked whether in hindsight he or others in the shop should have been suspicious of Farook, Galletta said: “How are you able to determine what somebody’s intents are?” Meantime, Syed Rizwan Farook’s sister was at juvenile dependency court Monday morning, where she is trying to get custody of her brother and Malik’s 6-month-old child.
Marquez has not been charged.
Former college classmates of Malik and others who knew her in Pakistan said that in recent years she began dressing more conservatively – including wearing a traditional Muslim scarf that covered almost her entire face – and became more fervent in her faith. At least six people remained hospitalized, two in critical condition.
The FBI searched Marquez’s home on Saturday.
It was unclear how he was identified so quickly, given that witnesses said the attackers wore black ski masks.
The tapes reveal the back-and-forth between officers in the field and calm-talking dispatchers.
The FBI said last week that authorities are investigating the mass shooting as an “act of terrorism,” noting that Farook’s Pakistani-born wife, Tashfeen Malik, 29, was believed to have pledged allegiance on Facebook to the leader of the militant group Islamic State.
Mr Cruz said: “If I am elected President, I will direct the Department of Defense to destroy ISIS”.
The couple killed 14 people there Wednesday.
The couple opened fire with assault rifles Wednesday on a holiday luncheon for Farook’s colleagues.
“Unfortunately the room just didn’t provide a whole lot of protection”, said Corwin Porter, assistant county health director.
This item has been corrected to show Tashfeen Malik’s name was misspelled Mali.
David Bowdich, FBI assistant director in charge of the investigation, said authorities believe that both shooters were “radicalized” but that so far there is no evidence that the killers were part of an global plot.
“We do have evidence that both of these subjects participated in target practice”, he said, confirming they had visited shooting ranges in the local area. Bowdich said he wasn’t sure if investigators were done talking to her.
The limited salary of a county employee has aroused suspicion that the cache of weapons found in the couple’s Redlands apartment – including pipe bombs and ammunition – may have been purchased with funds from a foreign source, McCaul said.
