'Devout' Muslim US citizen and his wife are identified as heavily- armed suspects who burst
The Daily Mail ^ | 2 December, 2015 | Khaleda Rahman, Snejana Farberov, Chris Pleasance

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

A Muslim U.S. citizen and his wife burst into his office holiday party with assault rifles and tactical clothing, massacred 14 and injured 17 before they were both shot dead in a police chase through suburban San Bernardino.

Syed Rizwan Farook, 28, was at the celebration for local health officials but reportedly left angry before returning heavily armed with wife Tashfeen Malik, 27, and opening fire at the city's Inland Regional Center Wednesday morning.

The two escaped the scene before being tracked by police to a home one city over. They sped away from the house in a black SUV, shooting at police out the back window and reportedly throwing pipe bombs before the two were shot dead. They were armed with assault rifles and semi-automatic handguns.

Farook and Malik, who are thought to have married earlier this year in Saudi Arabia, are parents to a young child, now orphaned, whom they left with a grandparent before heading out on their murder spree.

Dramatic aerial images show the aftermath of the police chase, which came to an end around a mile and a half from the scene of the massacre.

But we are still waiting for the government to tell us whether this is terrorism.

I wonder....

I’m just surprised they didn’t have a map of the Solar
system so we would know where earth is...

reportedly left angry

Numerous news sources say he left angry.

Angry about what? None that I have heard have given any details of what caused the perp to become angry.

Maybe he gave the infidels a last chance to convert, and there were no takers.

A man on the street interview, LA Channel 7, just after the SUV shootdown:

The Black Man said, I saw them driving down the street, not a care in the world, like they knew they were going down. In America we call them Terrorists.

His interview hasn’t been repeated that I have seen.

WHERE are the other four heavily armed men seen leaving the house? And what facilities was Farouk inspecting? Water treatment plants? Electric plants? What?

This is what good reporting is supposed to look like. Facts known to date, no non essential info or info intended to lead to other facts not in evidence, no admonitions to ‘not jump to conclusions’.

Over at DU yesterday there were multiple threads full of conjecture about whether the shooters were Trump supporters, NRA members, white supremacists, Tea Partiers, or all of the above. Once the suspects were ID'ed the whole party just crashed. When I checked again earlier this morning, there was a bit of half-hearted speculation that this was a ploy by *somebody* to stir up anti-Muslim sentiment, and some glum mumbling that this would help Trump, accompanied by sad-faced emojis.

There is also a thread about how the 2nd needs to be repealed and all guns confiscated, and multiple people saying that anyone who resists will be "dealt with accordingly." There was some concern that rural-dwelling liberals and "Native Americans" would also lose their guns and no longer be able to hunt or protect themselves from predators. Along with some condescending tool saying that the hicks have "mostly gotten used to electricity and plumbing" and would have to get used to not having firearms, there was some helpful little beaver suggesting that they use bows and arrows!

The insanity and crassness that those people achieve in equal measure is simply astounding.

Once again, leave it to foreign media to do the job that American Network (or local) journalists WON’T do. Publish the unvarnished, unscripted, unedited account of events before the truth can be hidden by government.

I seriously doubt we’ll ever see such a collage of information put forth by American Collaborative Media (until it has been sanitized, vulcanized and mesmerized by our quisling Muslim apologist government.)

The fools over at MSLSD are wringing their hands talking about increased poll numbers for Donald Trump.

There, fixed it.

Right, change sun to, “approx position of mass shooting”.

Mass shootings only occur in this part of universe...

RE: Pic of brother-in-law Farhan Khan

Guy to the left of microphones seems to have a slight smirk, as if to say, ‘Even I am not believing the sh*t you are saying. I am about to burst out laughing.’

Female seems to be expressing: ‘I’m having to miss The View for this.’

A former FBI agent working as a consultant to CNN said the same thing. Since the attack occurred in a government office building the attackers must be “right-wing anti-government militia types”.

My guess is that he made a quick appearance at the party simply so he could get his last word in to these folks. I also suspect that the third person was outside and called or texted them as soon as cops started to respond, allowing them to make a clean escape.

The cops just happened to be on a training exercise nearby and responded quickly... had that not been the case, the shooters would have had several more minutes to do their thing before having to bug out.
