On Wednesday morning, California health inspector and US citizen Syed Rizwan Farook, 28, and his Saudi wife of two years, Tashfeen Malik, 27, dropped off their six-month-old baby with Farook's mother, saying they were going to a doctor's appointment.
By noon, according to police, the couple had donned assault clothing, armed themselves with rifles and stormed a holiday party attended by San Bernardino County employees, killing 14 people and wounding 17 others.
Before sunset, after a massive manhunt and a violent shootout with police on a residential street, they were both dead, leaving a grieving community with few clues to puzzle out the motive for the carnage.
Those who knew Farook, among them his colleagues at the San Bernardino County Public Health Department, described him as a devout Muslim but not someone who often talked about religion.
'He never struck me as a fanatic, he never struck me as suspicious,' said Griselda Reisinger, a former colleague.
Co-worker Patrick Baccari, who shared a cubicle with Farook, told the Los Angeles Times he and his young family appeared to be 'living the American dream.'

The shooters began their massacre at the Inland Regional Center (top left) before fleeing. Police later traced them to a home in Redlands (bottom right), where a chase began which ended on San Bernardino Avenue (top center), where the two were shot dead
Heavily-armed officers are seen closing in on the SUV which the two killers drove on a deadly chase through San Bernardino
Farook's family was originally from South Asia, while Malik was believed to be from Pakistan and had lived in Saudi Arabia before coming to the United States, said Hussam Ayloush, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).
Farook had an older brother, he added, who had served in the US military.
The gunman's father, also named Syed Farook, seemed shocked when talking to the New York Daily News after the shooting.
I havent heard anything,' the elder Mr Farook said before his sons name became public. 'He was very religious. He would go to work, come back, go to pray, come back. Hes Muslim.'
Dramatic aerial images showed the aftermath of the police chase, which came to an end around a mile and a half from the scene of the massacre.
The bodies of Farook and Malik can be seen near their shot-out SUV, surrounded by heavily-armed officers. One of them was killed in the passenger seat and later removed from the vehicle, while another of the pair appears to have bolted from the vehicle and been gunned down not far away.
Fragments of video from witnesses on the ground showed the killers and officers exchanging gunfire on the roads of San Bernardino as bystanders ducked for cover. The chase ended some time between 3pm and 4pm local time Wednesday - as long as five hours after the massacre began.
A source told CNN that the suspects threw pipe bombs out of the windows of the vehicle before the shootout with police.
A spokesman for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said the suspects threw a thick-gauge copper pipe out of the SUV, but no explosives were found inside. The fake pipe bomb was equipped with a piece of material made to look like a wick.
One officer was hit in the shoot-out, and was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
In the hours after the shooting, more information emerged about Farook, who was born in the U.S., and Malik, whom is he thought to have met and married in Saudi Arabia before bringing him home to Redlands, California with him.
Police have yet to offer a clear motive for the attack, though federal agencies have yet to rule out terrorism, and are hunting for links to ISIS and other extremist groups. Farook, an environmental specialist with the county health department, has been described as a 'devout' Muslim.
Co-worker Patrick Baccari says Farook was gone for about a month in the spring. When he returned, word got around Farook had been married, and the woman he described as a pharmacist joined him shortly afterward.
Syed Farook's brother-in-law Farhan Khan (pictured) spoke at a press conference held at the offices of the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Anaheim to say he was stunned to hear of his relative's involvement in the shooting
Baccari says the reserved Farook showed no signs of unusual behavior, although he grew out his beard several months ago.
He said he had been sitting at the same table as Farook at the party on Wednesday morning, but his co-worker suddenly disappeared, leaving his coat behind. Baccari escaped most of the carnage as he was in the bathroom when the shooting started, and sustained only minor wounds from shranpnel which made it through the wall.
San Bernardino Police Chief Jarrod Burguan said that Farook was 'angry' when he left the party, before returning with Malik and a stash of heavy weapons. Burguan said that there was obviously 'some degree of planning involved' in the attack.
The Los Angeles Times reported that Farook met Malik online then traveled to Saudai Arabia to marry her. Colleagues told the Times that Farook was a devout Muslim, but rarely discussed religion at work.
Hussam Ayloush, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), said the couple left their six-month-old daughter with Farook's mother in the city of Redlands early on Wednesday morning. They told her they were going to attend a doctor's appointment for the wife.
REVEALED: ARMORY OF HUSBAND-AND-WIFE KILLER DUO WHO USED 'MILITARY TACTICS' IN POLICE SHOOTOUT
Police revealed late Wednesday that Farook and Malik were armed with two assault rifles and two automatic handguns in their battle to the death with the cops.
Officials told the LA Times that a .223-caliber DPMS Model A15 rifle and a Smith and Wesson M&P15 rifle were both recovered from the scene. They also found a handgun made by Llama and a Smith and Wesson handgun.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms said they traced the guns and found that two of them were bought legally, though it did not specify which guns and who purchased them.
It came as a police source speaking to Fox News said the killer duo used 'military tactics' to confront police. They reportedly had body-mounted cameras, which would have allowed them to record the massacre.
A dramatic police shootout was underway in San Bernardino as police closed in on the terror gunman suspected of killing 14 and injuring another 17 at a disabled learning center on Wednesday morning
Police said a third person was detained.
It is not clear whether they are connected to the incident.
Farook's brother-in-law Farhan Khan spoke at a press conference held at the offices of the CAIR in Anaheim to say he was stunned to hear of his relative's involvement in the shooting.
Khan, who is married to Farook's sister, said he last spoke to him a week ago. He said he had 'absolutely no idea why he would do this. I am shocked myself.'
'I just cannot express how sad I am for what happened today. I am very sad that people lost their lives. I am shock that something like this could happen.' Khan said other family members asked him to speak at the news conference, and to express their sadness over the shootings.
The FBI are considering domestic terrorism and workplace violence as potential motives in the killing, which is the worst since Sandy Hook elementary school was attacked in 2012.
After Farook and Malik were killed, police served a search warrant on a home in Redlands, believed to be the one where the chase began.
Around six vehicles carrying helmeted police drove into the area. One officer carrying an assault rifle ordered reporters to clear the area, and an armored vehicle parked outside a row of homes.

A police spokesman said that officers are still unsure if there were two or three shooters, but that if the third suspect does exist, then they are still on the loose
Police also confirmed that an officer, believed to be from the San Bernardino county force, was wounded in a shoot-out with the suspects and is now in hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Stories also began to emerged from those inside the conference center. Shortly before noon, dozens of people were seen existing the building with their hands up.
Others were seen being taken away by paramedics on gurneys. According to the New York Times, those who fled were brought to a golf course behind, but were then moved from the scene due to a 'potential explosive device.'
The Los Angeles Times reported how one victim hid under a desk when she was shot once in the lower back.
Denise Peraza, 27, told relatives that two armed men, dressed in black, wearing black masks entered and started shooting at random.
'Everyone dropped to the floor. It was during a holiday party,' Peraza said. 'The guys opened fired for 30 seconds, randomly, then paused to reload and began firing again.'

Marybeth Feild, the president and CEO of the Inland Regional Center, said the shooting happened in the conference area of a building that houses at least 25 employees as well as a library.
Glenn Willwerth, who heard shots being fired, told Fox News that he saw a black SUV leaving the scene that was 'driving slowly and deliberately'. He said he saw people running frantically out of the building and hiding behind cars.

A day before the shooting, the San Bernardino center hosted a children's Christmas party.
While most of the center's youngest patients only come in for appointments, some of the most disabled are permanent residents.
A video posted on Twitter showed wheelchair-bound children beaming as they danced to the song Celebrate in one of the center's halls - and pictures posted to the center's official Facebook page show children receiving presents from Santa Claus.
SWAT teams were called in to clear the scene, according to Los Angeles News reporter Doug Sanders.
A bomb squad used a robot to detonate an apparent explosive device left at the scene, the Los Angeles Times reported, citing anonymous sources.
Loma Linda University Medical has received four patients in its trauma center and officials there were expecting three more. Hospital spokeswoman Briana Pastorino said she didn't know the patients' conditions.

President Barack Obama was briefed on the shooting in San Bernardino by homeland security adviser Lisa Monaco, and has asked to be kept informed as the situation develops.
In an interview with CBS News this afternoon, Obama addressed this latest shooting.
'We have a pattern now of mass shootings in this country that has no parallel anywhere else in the world, and there are some steps we can take... to improve the odds that they don't happen as frequently,' said the president.
The shooting in San Bernardino comes less than a week after a man opened fire at a Planned Parenthood facility in Colorado, killing a police officer and two civilians, and injuring nine others.

Yes, especially with a leader like Obama...I'm sure climate change had something to do with the attack. :roll:

Because thats what it exactly was, and you liberal-turds will not admit that this attack as well as the Fort Hood Massacre were just that. Islamic Terrorist Attacks on America, your country.
And No, you just think that this could not be happening with your USA liberal mantra and political liberal ideology speech crap. Your an idiot Just like Obama, still inserting foot in ass and mouth.
Americans are pissed iff at you lunacy and crap that spews out of you ignorant pee-sized bleeding heart liberal brain.
Americans will not keep on taking your shit or Obama's shit. There will be a backlash. An Armed American Citizenry is the Best deterrent to this radical Islam terrorism.
Just as the Swiss arm all Citizenry, This is still the best war to deter criminals and terrorism. You nincompoop . . .
Their is a Religious-Political-Ideology WAR going in in the U.S. and the World with Islamic Terrorist Attack extremism and Muslim ideology.
And they don't side with you liberal-turds, they will kill you unless you convert to ISLAM. You are so Ignorant and blindly stupid.

Homicide Rates Cut In Half Over Past 20 Years (While New Gun Ownership Soared)
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-11-01/homicide-rates-cut-half-over-past-20-years-while-new-gun-ownership-soared
12/04/2015 Americans Have Never Tried To Buy So Many Guns In November... Ever
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-12-04/americans-have-never-tried-buy-so-many-guns-november-ever
Two things happened after the most recent widely publicized US mass shootings/domestic terrorism acts: 1) Obama once again made a concerted effort to push for gun-control, and 2) gun sales soared to record highs for November most likely in response to i).
As we reported in September, citing the FT, "gun sales this year could surpass the record set in 2013, when gun purchases surged after the December 2012 Sandy Hook murders."
Gun Sales Soar After Surge In US Mass Shootings
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-10-05/gun-sales-soar-after-surge-us-mass-shootings
And given that Black Friday background checks broke all previous records, it appears we are well on our way.
The One Record That Was Broken On Black Friday That Mainstream Media Will Not Be Excited About
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-12-02/one-record-was-broken-black-friday-mainstream-media-will-not-be-excited-about
... the calls for tighter gun laws lead to an increase in weapons sales. Once the public hears the president on the news say we need more gun controls, it tends to drive sales, said Mr Hyatt, who owns one of the largest gun retailers in the US.
People think, if I dont get a gun now, it might be difficult to get one in the future. The store is crowded.
"We dont want our business to be based on tragedy but we have to deal with what we have no control over, Mr Hyatt said.
And after these shootings and then the calls for tougher gun laws, we see a buying rush.
This is not surprising: as Wired noted back in 2013, sharp spikes in gun sales usually following mass shootings for several reasons.
How Come Gun Sales Spike After Mass Shootings?
http://www.thewire.com/national/2012/07/how-come-gun-sales-spike-after-mass-shootings/54961/
The desire to protect one's self In many cases, gun shootings followed by 24/7 media coverage prompt citizens to arm themselves, according to testimonies.
In Aurora, for instance, Jake Meyers of Rocky Mountain Guns and Ammo told The Post shoppers cited self-protection when checking out new weapons.
"A lot of it is people saying, 'I didn't think I needed a gun, but now I do,' " Meyers said. "When it happens in your backyard, people start reassessing 'Hey, I go to the movies.'"
The fear of stricter gun laws Another logical factor is that gun owners' or soon-to-be-gun owners' sense a tide of gun control regulations following a massacre and seek to purchase guns ahead of fast-moving laws.
Paul Helmke, president of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, spoke to this following a 60 percent uptick in gun sales in the aftermath of the Tucson shootings in 2011.
"Some Americans fear tougher gun control laws in the aftermath of Saturdays attack so they want to stock up now," he told Politico.
What it shows is maybe gun owners in Arizona and these other states feel that theres going to be some change in the law, which is what I hope our elected officials trying to enact.
Obviously, that fear has been unfounded.
Since coming into office, Obama has been virtually silent on the issue of gun control, despite the protestations of liberals.
The feeling of uncertainty It's important to remember, spikes in guns sales don't just coincide with shooting sprees. They also coincide with violent events of any kind, as Fredrick Kunkle at The Washington Post reported.
"People also rushed to buy guns after the 1992 riots in Los Angeles and the breakdown of order in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina."
That has led some industry experts and law enforcement officials to point to a general feeling of uncertainty as a driver of gun buying habits.
"People often buy firearms during periods of uncertainty," Gary Kleck, a researcher at Florida State University's College of Criminology and Criminal Justice, told the paper.
Which brings us to today when in the latest FBI background check data - a proxy for total gun sales in the United States as most gun purchases require a background check - we find that, as expected, Obama's latest threat to implement stricter gun controls backfired once more, and the month of November saw a record number of background checks.
As Free Beacon previously noted:
Gun Sales Set Record for Sixth Month in a Row. Summer of the gun continues into the fall
http://freebeacon.com/issues/gun-sales-set-record-for-sixth-month-in-a-row/
Gun rights activists have pointed to Democrats calls for new gun control measures as one reason why gun sales have increased. Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton has said that the Supreme Court is wrong on the Second Amendment, that Australian style mandatory gun buybacks should be considered in the United States, and that she would implement new gun control through executive action.
Barrack Obama and Hillary Clinton are the best gun salespeople on the planet. The more they scream for new gun control laws the more guns walk off the shelves at gun stores, said Alan Gottlieb, the head of the Second Amendment Foundation.
To quote the lyrics of Peter, Paul and Mary, When will they ever learn, when will they ever learn.
The biggest irony, however, as we reported previously, is that "homicide rates have been cut in half over past 20 years as new gun ownership soared.

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-11-01/homicide-rates-cut-half-over-past-20-years-while-new-gun-ownership-soared
So thanks Obama: courtesy of your inept approach to resolving every social issue not to mention your naive, recurring attempts to uproot the Second Amendment, you are making the US safer one teleprompted, faux-emotional speech at a time.
Granted, everyone knows that was not your intention, but the public will take whatever it can.
So what changed?
Why did Americans suddenly start getting more interested in guns in and around the end of 2008?

http://www.zerohedge.com/taxonomy_vtn/term/303
There is little question that bullshit is a real and consequential phenomenon (especially popular in the financial markets and central planning arena).
Indeed, as the following scientific study finds, given the rise of communication technology and the associated increase in the availability of information from a variety of sources, both expert and otherwise, bullshit may be more pervasive than ever before.
Despite these seemingly commonplace observations, we know of no psychological research on bullshit.
Are people able to detect blatant bullshit? Who is most likely to fall prey to bullshit and why?
The following scientific paper explains... (click image for link to PDF)
As the authors conclude,
Bullshit is a consequential aspect of the human condition.
Indeed, with the rise of communication technology, people are likely encountering more bullshit in their everyday lives than ever before.
Profundity ratings for statements containing a random collection of buzzwords were very strongly correlated with a selective collection of actual Tweets from Deepak Chopras Twitter feed (rs = .8889).
At the time of this writing, Chopra has over 2.5 million followers on Twitter and has written more than twenty New York Times bestsellers.
Bullshit is not only common; it is popular.
Chopra is, of course, just one example among many.
Using vagueness or ambiguity to mask a lack of meaningfulness is surely common in political rhetoric, marketing, and even academia (Sokal, 2008).
Indeed, as intimated by Frankfurt (2005), bullshitting is something that we likely all engage in to some degree:
One of the most salient features of our culture is that there is so much bullshit. Everyone knows this. Each of us contributes his share.
One benefit of gaining a better understanding of how we reject others bullshit is that it may teach us to be more cognizant of our own bullshit.
The construction of a reliable index of bullshit receptivity is an important first step toward gaining a better understanding of the underlying cognitive and social mechanisms that determine if and when bullshit is detected.
Our bullshit receptivity scale was associated with a relatively wide range of important psychological factors.
This is a valuable first step toward gaining a better understanding of the psychology of bullshit.
The development of interventions and strategies that help individuals guard against bullshit is an important additional goal that requires considerable attention from cognitive and social psychologists.
That people vary in their receptivity toward bullshit is perhaps less surprising than the fact that psychological scientists have heretofore neglected this issue.
Accordingly, although this manuscript may not be truly profound, it is indeed meaningful.

The BBC loves to broadcast to the "kingdom" about how FU'ed the US can be: it supports their narrative.
It all goes back to the aftermath of the war of 1812. England reinstituted diplomatic relations to first of all keep the US out of Canada and to cause as much confusion about world affairs as possible. Once the civil war broke out France and England did a great job of playing both sides off of each other.
