BREAKING: NBC News Confirms Suspect In San Bernardino Shooting Named “Syed Farook”…Update:Father Says Farook ‘Very Religious Muslim’…Update: 3 Devices Found At Various Locations, People Observed Suspicious Activity, But Didn’t Report For Fear Of ‘Profiling’…Update: Joint Terrorism Task Force Called In
At least 14 people were killed and two suspects were dead Wednesday after up to three people on a mission that authorities described as “possibly terrorism” barged into a holiday party in a California conference room and unleashed a bloodbath.
The shooter or shooters fled in a black SUV after the shooting about at 11 a.m. (2 p.m. ET), police said. A bomb squad was still examining a suspicious device believed to be an explosive at the scene late Wednesday afternoon, San Bernardino Police Chief Jarrod Burguan said.
The dead suspects were dressed in “assault-style clothing” and were carrying assault-style weapons and handguns, Burguan said.
One of the suspects in Wednesday’s mass shooting in San Bernardino, Calif. has been identified as Syed Farook, according to reports.
Farook was linked to the horrific slaughter that took place at the Inland Regional Center, according to NBC News.
After police announced that two suspects — a male and a female — were dead following a car chase and shoot out with police, a search began at a nearby Redlands apartment linked to the suspects.
A man who identified himself as Farook’s father told the Daily News his son worked as a health technician inspecting restaurants and hotels.
“I haven’t heard anything. He worked in a county office,” Farook’s dad told The News. “He’s married and has a kid. We’re estranged because my wife got the divorce, and they are together. She doesn’t want to see me.”
Farook said he hasn’t seen his son in some time.
“He was very religious. He would go to work, come back, go to pray, come back. He’s Muslim.”
