Police said they can’t yet rule out terrorism in a mass shooting that left 14 people dead and 17 wounded at a social services center Wednesday in San Bernardino, California.
Police Chief Jarrod Burguan in a late-night press conference identified the suspects as Syed Rizwan Farook, a 28-year-old U.S.-born county employee, and Tashteen Malik, 27, believed to be his wife or girlfriend. Both fled the scene in a dark SUV and were later killed by police in a daytime gun battle with as many as 21 officers in a residential neighborhood nearby.
