Farooq Saeed has been identified as the possible San Bernardino shooting suspect, who reports indicate walked into a medical facility for people with developmental disabilities and opened fire.
The shooting took place at close to 11 a.m. in the 1300 block of South Waterman Avenue in the California city, taking place at a building identified as the Inland Regional Center. The facility is a state-run medical center that serves people with developmental disabilities, said Nancy Lungren, spokeswoman for the California Department of Developmental Services.
Unconfirmed reports identified the suspect as Farooq Saeed, a name repeated on police scanners and reported from some American news outlets.
Reports indicated that the suspect may have been an employee of the medical facility, and is believed to have fled the scene in an SUV.
Police said in a news conference that as many as 14 people were killed and another 14 wounded.
Police used a robot to search for possible explosive devices, and the police scanner noted of a possible IED.
The gunman appeared calculated, a friend of a surviving victim told CNN.
"The guy came in next to her office and I guess started shooting," the friend said, via People magazine. "They see bodies on the floor. Ambulances are taking people out in stretchers."
Local officials said they were shocked not only by the attack, but by the target.
"We are a non-profit agency that provides services to kids and adults with disabilities. It's beyond words," an employee at the San Diego branch of the Inland Regional Center told People.
While it is not yet clear whether the San Bernardino shooting was an act of terrorism, the massacre did prompt a response from Department of Homeland Security. Flight radar information showed that a Homeland Security Pilatus PC12 has been circling over San Bernardino at close to 7,300 feet. Officials from the FBI and ATF also responded to the scene.
In a news conference Wednesday afternoon, FBI official said they did not know if the attack was an act of terrorism, but officials said the men "came prepared" with long guns and body armor.
I was told the suspects were lily white.
If this turns out to be a terrorist attack, which I think is very likely, then every single open-borders advocate has blood on their hands.
You got that right. Of course, the media will probably hide it if muslims are responsible!
They were shouting “Jesus is lord” while waving confederate flags and demanding an absentee ballot to vote for Trump...
At least according to Huffington Post.
I have seen this Farooq Saeed name being reported on multiple sites, including a description of a Middle Eastern bearded man in full camouflage.
LOL!
Does that just not make a buzzard on a gut wagon puke?!
? An ISIS attack like the Paris attack... in San Bernadino? Trial run, maybe?

And how exactly would they hide it? We’ll find out who did it eventually. Way too high profile for anyone to hide.
Why? What if they are people who were born here? The guys in France are home grown. We could have our own as well. A “terrorist attack” doesn’t mean the guy had to be born somewhere else.
SAN BERNADINO SHOOTER TIED TO TEA PARTY
I haven’t heard that at all tonight. I’m listening to the radio, not the tv.
I’ll grant you that point, if they were born here and not radicalized by parents who were not born here.
One suspect is down. If the suspect was white, the media would be
blasting his race out. Police on scene know the color and race of this
downed suspect.
Hence, more than likely a non-white.
LOL! Mika will be reporting this tomorrow morning!
Good point: if they were white, they’d have confirmed it. Since they say nothing, it’s likely the perps are some politically correct exotic.
