'Devout' Muslim US citizen and his wife left their
baby at home to storm back to office holiday party with automatic weapons and
slaughter 14 of his colleagues before dying in bloody police shoot-out
Two suspects were killed by police in San Bernardino after a mass shooting at a conference
center Wednesday
Syed Rizwan Farook, 28, and Tashfeen Malik, 27,
were killed in a gun battle with police after the mass shooting
Farook is said to have traveled to Saudi Arabia earlier this year and returned with a wife - and
a baby followed
He wrote in an online profile on a Muslim dating
site six years prior that he enjoys doing target practice in his
backyard
Farook graduated from California State
University, San Bernardino with a degree in environmental health in
2009
Farook and his wife left their six-month-old baby
daughter with his mother in Redlands, California, telling her they were going for a
doctor's appointment
Police said 14 died and a 17 were wounded after
suspects opened fire at the InlandRegionalCenter on Wednesday
San Bernardino Police Chief said shooters wore
'assault-style' clothing, had GoPro cameras strapped to them and had two
handguns and two assault rifles - all legally purchased in US within the
past four years, according to ATF
Farook had attended the holiday party but 'left'
angry, according to police, and later returned with his wife to carry out
the massacre
Suspects left three explosive devices rigged to a
remote-controlled toy car inside at the InlandRegionalCenter before fleeing in an SUV
Cops were in a dramatic standoff with the
suspects after reports that up to three people were on the loose
Suspects reportedly threw pipe bombs out of the
windows of their SUV before they were taken down by police
An officer was taken to hospital with non
life-threatening injuries after the standoff on a residential street
Police and federal agents searched a home in Redlands associated with Farook's family early Thursday
morning in desperate hunt for clues
