Suspects named in San Bernardino, Calif. mass shooting

Co-worker Patrick Baccari told the paper that Farook traveled to Saudi Arabia and returned married to Malik, whom he met online.

The dead suspects “had several [magazines] full of ammunition fashioned to their body so they were ready for a gunfight should that occur”, Davis of the ATF said. The suspects had assault rifles and handguns. Police say the attackers came prepared with long guns. NBC news has reported that one of the suspects has been identified as Syed Farook but this is as yet unconfirmed.

“I have no idea why he would do that”.

Hussam Ayloush, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Los Angeles, organized a press conference late on Wednesday evening to address the shooting.

A third person who was caught running near the scene was detained, but police are not sure whether he was connected to shooting. But they don’t know whether he was involved in the attack.

Loma Linda University Medical Center is expecting an unknown number of patients from the shooting, spokeswoman Briana Pastorino said. Fourteen people were killed.

Firefighters set up a triage area near the Inland Regional Center on the South Waterman Avenue, where they were treating the wounded on the street and loading others into waiting ambulances.

Shorty afterward, gunfire erupted at the Inland Regional Center where the employees filled a conference room. Around 600 people are employed at the site, which provides community care facilities for 30,000 people in the local community.

Most of the victims were “centrally located in one area of the facility”, saidBurguan. Later police came and took people out of their offices.

Farook was born in the U.S., Burguan said, and had been working with the county for five years.

Burguan told reporters it was not yet clear if those involved in the dispute were the people who opened fire. Authorities said that no motive had been determined and that terrorism hadn’t been ruled out.
