On December 2, 2015, husband and wife Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik carried out a terrorist attack by shooting and killing 14 people and injuring 21 others at the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino, California, United States. They targeted a holiday party for employees of the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health, held in an auditorium with at least 100 people, before fleeing in an SUV. Farook had attended the party as an employee.

After a regional manhunt, the two perpetrators were killed by police during an exchange of gunfire approximately four hours later. The FBI took over the investigation as a counter-terrorism investigation due to the equipment used, recent travel to the Middle East, and one of the perpetrators having contacts with Islamist extremist views. Malik was reported to have pledged allegiance to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

The attack was the second-deadliest mass shooting in California after the 1984 San Ysidro McDonald's massacre, and the deadliest in the U.S. since the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.[6][7]

Attack

Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik left their six-month-old daughter with Farook's mother the morning before the attacks, saying they were going to a doctor's appointment.[8][9] Farook, a health inspector for the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health, attended the department's holiday party at the Inland Regional Center.[10] There were over 100 people in attendance.[11][12] Coworkers reported that he had been quiet during the early parts of the event and noticed he had left the party abruptly, leaving his coat, before a group photo was taken.[13][14] There were some reports that an argument occurred before his departure.[15] In later police briefings, it was said he left "under circumstances that were described as angry".[16]

At 10:59 am PST, two perpetrators wearing black tactical outfits and armed with assault rifles opened fire on the partygoers.[17] They fired between 65 and 75 bullets and left behind an explosive device that failed to detonate.[17] Witnesses said that they recognized Farook as one of the shooters by his voice and build.[18]

Weapons and equipment used

The shooters were wearing black tactical gear, but not bulletproof vests,[19] and were armed with rifles and handguns.[20]

Investigators reported that the attackers used two .223-caliber semi-automatic rifles, two 9mm semi-automatic handguns, and an explosive device in the attack.[1][21][2] All four of the guns were purchased legally in the U.S. four years before the attack, and two of them were purchased by a person now under investigation.[22]

The rifles used were variants of the AR-15: one was manufactured by DPMS Panther Arms, the other was a Smith & Wesson M&P15.[21][22] One of the handguns was manufactured by Llama and the other by Smith & Wesson.[22] A law enforcement official that the firearms were all purchased in California.[22] The rifles were subsequently and illegally altered to make them more powerful: there was an attempted modification to enable the Smith & Wesson rifle to fire in fully automatic mode, and the DPMS weapon was modified to use a high-capacity magazine.[2] The couple had 1,400 rounds for the rifles and 200 for the handguns with them at the time of the shootout.[21]

In addition to the two firearms, the attackers left an "explosive device" (three explosive devices connected to one another) at the Inland Regional Center; this device was later detonated by a bomb squad.[1][23]

Police response

At 11:14 am, the San Bernardino Fire Department posted on Twitter about an emergency on the 1300 block of Waterman Avenue, with the police working to clear the scene.[24][25][26][27] Roads in the area were closed to traffic.[28]

Police and SWAT teams surrounded the building as people were being evacuated.[29] Police remotely detonated an unidentified device found at the scene and used a battering ram to get into the complex.[30][31] The FBI and the Los Angeles Police Department Counter-Terrorism Unit were called into action.[32] Police were on the lookout for a black SUV used by the perpetrators to flee the scene.[30][33][34][35]

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security also responded, sending a Pilatus PC-12 surveillance aircraft to the area. The plane circled the skies above San Bernardino for hours, mainly in the area where the shooting took place and in areas under investigation by police, and departed after the shootout between the perpetrators and police.[36][37]

Shootout and death of perpetrators

The shootout occurred on the south side of San Bernardino Ave. just east of Sheldon Drive; the "A" at the left indicates the location of the Inland Regional Center.

The couple were pursued in a black Ford Expedition SUV which Farook had rented several days earlier.[19] At least one fake explosive—a metal pipe stuffed with cloth made to resemble a pipe bomb—was thrown by the attackers during the pursuit by police.[1][23] After the SUV was stopped, the couple exchanged fire with police from inside their vehicle on East San Bernardino Avenue, about 1.7 miles (2.7 km) away from the scene of the mass shooting. It began around 3:00 pm, about four hours after the initial attack at the Inland Regional Center had begun. Police requested a BearCat and medical assistance.

The gunfire lasted under a minute before both perpetrators were killed.[38][39] The sheriff's department confirmed that one male and one female were killed.[40] According to the San Bernardino police chief, during the shootout, police fired 380 rounds and the couple fired 76 rounds.[19]

Police asked residents to stay indoors.[41][42]

Victims

Fourteen people were killed and 21 others injured at the Inland Regional Center,[43][44] including five adult patients who were transported to nearby Loma Linda University Medical Center[29][45] (the only Level I trauma center in the region[21]) and six patients to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center.[30][46] One police officer was injured in the gunfight by a bullet and hospitalized.[3][47][48] Another officer was injured by flying glass or shrapnel.[49]

Of the 14 deaths, 12 were county employees. Their ages ranged from 26 to 60.[50]

Perpetrators

Syed Rizwan Farook

Syed Rizwan Farook was born June 14, 1987 in Chicago, Illinois.[51][9][52] The son of Pakistani immigrants,[21] Farook grew up in Riverside, California, and attended La Sierra High School, graduating in 2004, one year early.[53][54] He attended California State University, San Bernardino, and received a bachelor's degree in environmental health in either 2009[55] or 2010.[53][54] He was a student for one semester in 2014 at California State University, Fullerton in their graduate program for environmental engineering, but never completed the program.[53] In 2006, Farook's father forced his family (including Farook) to leave the house.[56] The mother began divorce proceedings the same year, and Farook's parents finally divorced in 2015.[57]

Farook worked as a food inspector for the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health for five years before the shooting.[58][59][60] From July to December 2010, he was a seasonal employee for the county. He was hired as an environmental health specialist trainee on January 28, 2012, and became a permanent employee on February 8, 2014.[53] Coworkers described him as quiet and polite and they commented on not noticing anything unusual prior to the attack.[13][14][61][62]

According to family members and coworkers, Farook was a devout Sunni Muslim, and traveled to Saudi Arabia several times, including to complete the Hajj in 2013.[21][16] Farook attended prayers at the Islamic Center of Riverside twice a day, in the mornings and the evenings, according to an interview in The New York Times with Mustafa H. Kuko, the Center's director. According to the Times, Farook stood out as a devout member, but also "kept a bit of a distance between him and other people".[57] During that time, according to friends, he never discussed politics. About three weeks before the shooting, Farook abruptly stopped going to the mosque.[63]

Tashfeen Malik

Tashfeen Malik was a 27-year-old woman originally from Pakistan who had lived in Saudi Arabia.[64][65] A coworker of Farook said he went to Saudi Arabia in early 2014 for about a month and married her there after meeting her through the Internet.[14][39] Farook described his wife as a pharmacist; she joined him in California shortly after their wedding. They had a daughter of six months at the time of their deaths.[60][66][67] The couple traveled to the U.S. in July 2014;[68] Malik entered on a K-1 visa (fiancée visa) on a Pakistani passport.[16][21] According to a State Department spokesman, all applicants for such visas are fully screened.[69] Farook applied for permanent residency (a "green card") for Malik in September 2014, and she was granted a conditional green card in July 2015.[68] Obtaining such a green card would have required the couple to prove that the marriage was legitimate, as well as requiring Malik to provide her fingerprints and pass criminal and national security background checks using government databases.[21][68] Malik was one of a small number of female mass shooters in the U.S.; according to FBI statistics, women constituted only 3.75 percent of shooters of active shooter incidents between the years 2000 and 2013.[70][71][72]

Investigation

Police said the attack was probably not simply a reaction to an argument and was likely, at least to some degree, planned in advance.[9][15]

On December 3, the FBI took over the investigation,[73] treating the probe as a counterterrorism investigation.[21] According to the Washington Post, "A senior U.S. law enforcement official said that Farook was in contact with persons of interest with possible ties to terrorism but that these were not 'substantial' contacts."[74]

Investigators stated that Tashfeen Malik made a post on Facebook during the attack that pledged allegiance to Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.[75][76] Investigators told the New York Times that there is no evidence that ISIL directed the attack, but investigators believe that Farook and Malik took inspiration from the group.[76] An official told the Times that "At this point we believe they were more self-radicalized and inspired by the group than actually told to do the shooting."[76]

Following the end of the shootout, the focus shifted to a small townhouse in Redlands, a few miles away from San Bernardino, where the suspects gathered after the shooting and where Farook apparently lived.[77][78] By 6:00 pm PST on December 2, police had begun to execute a search warrant on the house.[77] According to the San Bernardino police chief, Farook and Malik were listed in the rental agreement for that home.[79] Police used robots to search the house.[78] Investigators found 2,000 9-millimeter handgun rounds, 2,500 .223 caliber rounds, and twelve pipe bombs, along with a cache of tools that could be used to make improvised explosive devices.[80]

Pursuant to a federal search warrant, the authorities also twice searched a different townhome, in Corona, California,[79] "believed to be owned by Syed Farook's brother and father."[81] The FBI said that the family is cooperating with the investigation and no arrests were made.[81]

All of the firearms used in the attack had serial numbers, so the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) said that it will try to trace the weapons.[22]

The couple reportedly destroyed hard drives and other electronic equipment prior to the attack. [7]

Aftermath

Following the shooting, classes for the remainder of the day were canceled at California State University, San Bernardino.[82] Classes were also canceled at Loma Linda University as a precaution following a bomb threat that was called into the university's medical center, where many injured victims were being treated.[82] James Ramos, chairman of the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors, said following the shooting that most county offices would be closed the remainder of the week, with only the most essential services remaining open.[83] The San Bernardino Department of Public Health announced that all county offices would be closed through December 7.[84] President Obama also ordered U.S. flags to be flown at half-staff at the White House, public buildings, military installations, Navy ships, embassies and diplomatic missions.[85] The governors of several states also ordered flags to be lowered to half-staff in their states as well.[86][87][88]

The annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony at the State Capitol was canceled and all flags were lowered to half-staff.[82][89]

Political reactions

Prior to the alleged shooters being located, California Governor Jerry Brown said, "Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims' families and everyone affected by the brutal attack. California will spare no effort in bringing these killers to justice".[82]

President Barack Obama said, "There are some steps we could take—not to eliminate every one of these mass shootings—but to improve the odds that they don't happen as frequently. Common-sense gun safety laws, stronger background checks". He called for bipartisan cooperation to reduce the frequency of such shootings in the U.S.[90] In an interview with CBS News' Norah O'Donnell, Obama said: "We have a pattern now of mass shootings in this country that has no parallel anywhere else in the world".[91] Obama called for legislation to block people on the anti-terrorism No Fly List from purchasing weapons.[91] Speaker of the House Paul Ryan opposed this proposal, saying that it would violate the due process rights of people on the list.[92]
