Twenty-eight-year-old Syed Farook and 27-year-old Tashfeen Malik amassed a cache of weapons and ammunition and explosive devices in their Redlands, CA home as they prepared for the deadly assault. Both were Muslims that had been radicalized in Saudi Arabia. Malik had pledged loyalty to the Islamic State.
Upon entering the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health Inland Regional Center on December 2 with over 1600 rounds of ammunition, they fired up to 75 rounds into a holiday party and educational program, killing 14 and injuring 21 and creating chaos and panic among the participants who were on a break and milling around. They even left a crude explosive device of pipe bombs before they fled the scene, which failed to detonate. The two suspects were shot and killed after a high-speed chase several hours after the attack.
All four guns were purchased legally, including two semi-automatic pistols and two semi-automatic rifles. Apparently, both rifles were purchased by someone else who is under investigation. Federal authorities are investigating the shooting as an act of terrorism.
“If you look at the preparation, the amount of weapons and ammunition, there was obviously a mission here,” said David Bowdich, assistant director of the Los Angeles FBI office.
Farook was a restaurant inspector for the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health. Farook had attended the party, then left before the couple returned decked in tactical gear, but not bulletproof vests.
The couple had more than 4500 rounds of ammunition in their home. The couple had a small child, which they left with grandparents on the morning of the shootings.
“And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.” Genesis 6:5,11, 12
And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. Luke 17:26
