CNNW New Day December 3, 2015

Reporter police say farook was an inspector for the depg. He abruptly left the Holiday Party after a dispute, came back, alongside malik. I heard rapid shooting. Boom, boom, boom. Reporter investigators say the suspects came equipped dressed in Tactical Gear. Family members receiving gutwrenching Text Messages that an active shooting was taking place. People shot. Waiting for cops. Reporter this was the frightening scene inside. Are you ready . If youre not cool reporter dozens of employees being led to safety by Police Officers. Try to relax. Try to relax. Ill take a bullet before you do, thats for damn sure. Reporter wounding 17 sure. Prompting police and fbi and s. W. A. T. Teams to launch a massive manhunt. Hours later a tip leading them to the redlands home where she spotted a suspicious looking suv. About 22 miles from the inland Regional Medical Center Police engage in a shootout with this black suv. Both suspects now dead. Whats your exact location . Were at San Bernardino and sheddon. San bernardino and sheddon. We see one guy down. One guy in the back of a car. In that bearcat. Reporter Law Enforcement tells cnn farook is a u. S. Citizen and a relative said he and malik had had a 6monthold baby girl. His fatherinlaw was at a loss for words. Why would he do Something Like this . I have no idea. Im in shock myself. Now, chris, there was a moment overnight, in which investigators pushed all the media crews back. We do not know specifically why they were pushed so far away. That ended after a short period. The home is quiet now. But of course, those evidence collection teams will be back at the home, trying to answer several questions, of course, why, what is the motive in this case. And, were there other people who were involved. Police confident there were only two shooters, but was there a support network behind them. Those questions still yet to be answered, chris. And victor, the discovery of those explosive devices at the scene, fuelling a big part of that speculation as well. Thank you for the reporting. Well check back with in just a little bit. A lot of what makes this so unique is how this ended. The shootout. The quick police work with the suv who just happened to drive by as officers arrived at the scene. You saw what culminate were getting more video of that gun fight of people just living around on that street. Cell phone video posted on facebook by a local resident. We vetted it. We went through it its the first time were showing it to you. Oh [ bleep ] [ sirens ] shots rang out. [ bleep ] [ gunfire [ pr ]. Oh, my gosh. Guys just at my house right now. Cops in the yard. [ bleep ]. Guys [ bleep ] no way. [ sirens ] [ gunfire ] my house is getting shot at right now, holy [ bleep ]. [ sirens ] get back. That video tells the story. Not much reason to narrate over it. You can see how drawing it was to the kid taking the video. All the shells that you hear. All the rounds being fired, you have to remember according to authorities, you had at least 21 Police Officers that wound up responding to that shootout. They were first receiving fire. They were taking fire from people in the car. That was the scene that went down here in San Bernardino outside of it that wound up ending this. By all indications, this mass shooting was planned. Why . Well, every detail of it suggests that. Starting from what happened with how they handed off the baby, these two suspects. To the mans mother. The way they were dressed and everything else. So, lets take you through it with cnns jim sciutto. Live in washington. Hes been working this all night long. The latest from the investigation. As obvious as this may seem from the video, jim, as you well know, the investigators are very slow. Theyre not necessarily confused. But they believe theres a lot that remains unknown here. Thats right, chris. Theyre being very careful, certainly, about motive, motivation here. We were in paris a couple weeks ago. It took days to figure out the identities of those shooters there. Were learning details. Sayid Rizwan Farook, he worked at that center. He was at the party earlier in the day. Hes an environmental specialist. And tashfeen malik, 27 years old, were told quoting his family that she was married to farook, a husband and wife, a man and a woman, as the joint shooters, extremely unusual in active shooter situation its in United States. There say third person detained. Police have not established if theres any connection there. Heres one more detail that the l. A. Times is reporting this morning. That is that farook travelled to saudi arabia, within the last several weeks. No sense of the importance of that, but that could become an important detail as we move on. Lets go through other details. He had a dating profile posted which described his personality. He said he was religious but a modern family of four. He identifies as muslim but with an eastern and western mix family values. And he enjoys target practice in his backyard. We dont know the significance of that yet but as you see the details come out, chris, could have significance as the investigation moves forward. Lets talk about the weapons used in the attack. And this is de. You and i talked about this from very early on, Law Enforcement officials saying this is a planned attack. These are ar15s. They can be automatic or semiautomatic. There were also semiautomatic handguns. Again, these are going to be details key as we move on in the investigation. The handguns legally purchased by farook. The rifles purchased by someone else, legally, but that person believed to have no connection to the attack. Thats how they got their weapons. Lets talk about another thing, interesting and different about this. Police believe there were explosives involved. They dinner work. But there were explosives involved. The bag discovered at the site of the shooting at the inland regional facility contained explosive devices rigged to a Remote Control car. A toy rigged to that toy. They found later in the suv the detonating device. Either they didnt use it or it didnt work because of distance. But these attackers, chris, planned to unleash more havoc, not just with their weapons, but with the explosives. Thankfully, they were not used. From the beginning, counterterror officials, Law Enforcement officials, looking at all of these things, multiple shooters, the weapons that they had, this speaks to forward planning. They dont know the motive, but to them, very early on, it didnt look like a crime of passion. But then you have this confusion because he was at that Holiday Party. Theres talk of a possible dispute. You and i covered these things, crimes of passion, very rarely do you have the weapons stashed. You come up with military gear, an escape plan, et cetera. These are hard questions that got to be answered. Theres no question about it. And its been very tough from these guys from the beginning. Remember, they got a call this was at the developmental center. There are people develop mentally valued there. And they found out it was the county Mental Health agency. Who would target them. And then they found out how this man left. Theres so many permutations there. Jim sciutto. Thank you very much. Lets bring in retired chief jim beerman. Hes the retired and chief, im sorry to have to be talking to you under these circumstances, but the nature of the police work here so pivotal to bringing this to a conclusion. You heard what i was talking about with jim there. This started off very confusing. A call to the developmental center, somebody targeting kids with autism. And then you find out its the county Health Department. What are the steps to the police getting their hands around this . The first thing theyre going to find an active shooting. They dont know whats going to be happen. Theyre going to try to figure it out. Theyve bought people who are wounded, completely upset, understandably so. Theyre looking for the shooter. They dont know who that is. As this evolves, theyve got other scene, multiple investigations. At the end of the day, they got a minimum of three investigative sites. Where the shooting originally occurred. Where the suspects were shot in the shootout and then the house and rentals. Very complicated. What was it like for the officer responding at the scene, hes at the home, hes expecting to do a door knock, find out whats going on there, for an suv to go by with matching plates, takes off. All of a sudden, they start taking fire from the car. Probably from the semiautomatic handgun. Take us through the process of responding to a call like that and making those decisions. So, the officers that were surveilling that particular residence are in a very heightened awareness state. Theyre very focused on the possibility that the suspect may be in the house. S will, the suspects drive by and the officers sea adrenaline is going to spike. Theyre instantly on the radio, theyre going to try to get backup in this particular case. I believe they lost them for a short period of time. Some units picked up the suspects and the pursuing officers are going to be very taev attentive. Its not dissimilar to what happened in an athletic situation, you are not going to let them go. Once they got the view of the suspects theyre not going to stop. And now, they have every reason to believe theser the 0 two people who shot up a bunch of innocents. The bearcats. Its the company that is an armored vehicle, you had two in this situation that wound up pinching the vehicle. What was that . Well they knew that they had at least one of the suspects in that suv. What they were trying to do is contain them. As you watched the video of what the officers are doing, theyre using the armor on those vehicles to make sure if they take fire theyre not wounded. Is there also may have been explosives in there, that may have been their best defense. Right. And they would put themselves at risk. You watch them man user around the bearcats. Had a difficult angle to try to expose themselves. They didnt know there were explosives in there. They already knew there were probably explosives. One of the big scenes of confusion, is this a discretion of information. Theyre processing interviews. The families are giving them in thog. Not to say theres anything incriminating in that. Theyre starting at zero. This doesnt smell like im at work and im going to come back and do something stupid. But when you think about terrorism in a situation like this, and theres no question its not being ruled out for them to not stay at the scene and fight it out. But then to flee and stay in the facility, what does it sound like to you . I dont know. Theres a variety of scenarios. Why they were heading back in the purchasuit, in the same genl area. Either they didnt know where they were going or theres a possibility they were going to try to engage the police at the scene or have suicide by cop. You dont really know. Unfortunately, the two people who can tell us are deceased right now, so we dont know. I think the investigators are going to piece this together and come up with a sound, workablew were doing. Theyre desperate to get away. In this case, theyre firing at the officers at the same time. Who really knows what they were thinking. One detail that the local police here keep saying, dont overlook where they got the long guns. It we know they were bought legally by someone else. But how did they get them . You have your own weapons. If they wind up in my hands, youve got a problem. Chief, thank you for joining us. Appreciate it. Again, sorry its under these circumstances, if anyone you know is affected, my thoughts go to you. Thank you. All right. So, we know here that there were a lot wounded. Okay. That number is moving around. We still dont know the degree of those injuries. We know at least 17 people are in two different Trauma Centers. Some got hurt in the panic in get out. We want to tell you their stories. For that we have cnn correspondent dan simon. Hes live at arrowhead Regional Medical center in colton, california. They were on lockdown. There was a threat called into one of the hospitals. They were seen even at a trauma center. These are unusual wounds out of long guns. Tell us about it. Reporter i can tell you, chris, that both of these hospitals are well equipped to handle trauma. Were here at the arrowhead Regional Medical center. I can tell you six patients were brought here. One of them has been discharged. We dont know the conditions of the patients. I can tell you one the of them is a 27yearold woman who works at the county Health Department. He was in that banquet hall. She was shot in the lower back. She told family she was shot while she was trying to protect herself. We have some sound now from some of those members. And she just said, steph, i was shot. And she was, like, crying, and so, i knew she was serious. And i was just like what happened . And she just said she was at a work thing. And the shooters came in. And she was shot. And she was scared. And she said, i just wanted to tell you that i love you. Reporter very dramatic stuff. The victim is 27yearold denise pereza, because she was able to call her family and tell them she loved them, obviously, she seemed to be in okay condition. Over at loma linda, two in fair but stable condition, two in fair condition, one patient being assessed, again, because of the confusion and chaos that surrounded everything yesterday, both hospitals were at heightened security. And security seems to be high, still, at this hour, at both places. Chris. Yeah, and again, with the weapons involved those. 223 caliber shells, the injuries can be very slow indeed. The information is coming. We treat that with the greatest of respect. Dan simon, thank you very much. For context, 14 people taken out in this, their lives snuffed out senselessly. This makes this the deadliest since connecticut. Two people being involved, makes it unusual since columbine. That is going to bring out reaction from all corners. President obama was dealing with this pretty much in the moment. He was being interviewed by cbs when this was going on. During it, his mind took him to a call for tougher gun laws. Urging bipartisan support, closing loopholes. He said he sees that as a way to stop what he calls senseless violence. Take a listen. We have a pattern now of Mass Shootings in this country that has no parallel to anything else in the world. We should not think that this happens with the events and same frequency in other countries. Now, also important to say whos responding here, muslimamerican leaders. Theyve been coming out condemning the horrific act here in San Bernardino. Including one of the gunmans own family members, his brotherinlaw. The question becomes, could this rampage create antimuslim backlash . Were going to talk about that. And i quit smoking with chantix. I dont know that i can put into words how happy i was when i quit. Its like losing some baggage, i dont have to carry it around with me anymore. Chantix made it possible for me to quit smoking. Along with support, Chantix Varenicline is proven to help people quit smoking. Chantix definitely helped reduce my urge to smoke. Some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. Some had seizures while taking chantix. If you have any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. Tell your doctor about any history of Mental Health problems, which could get worse or of seizures. Dont take chantix if youve had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. If you have these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away as some can be lifethreatening. Tell your doctor if you have heart or blood vessel problems, or develop new or worse symptoms. Get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. Decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. Use caution when driving or operating machinery. Most common side effect is nausea. Man, i love being a nonsmoker. Ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. To stir up the holidays, before earning 1 cash back everywhere, every time and 2 back at the grocery store, even before they got 3 back on gas, all with no hoops to jump through, daniel, vandi, and sarah decided to use their Bank Americard cash rewards credit card to sweeten the holiday season. Thats the spirit of rewarding connections. Apply online or at a bank of america near you. With their Airline Credit card miles. Sometimes those seats cost a ridiculous number of miles. Or theres a fee to use them. I know. Its so frustrating. Theyd be a lot happier with the capital one venture card. And you would, too why . Its so easy with venture. You earn unlimited double miles on every purchase, every day. Just book any flight you want then use your miles to cover the cost. Now, thats more like it. Whats in your wallet . We are here in San Bernardino, california, certainly, following breaking news. A very active investigation. After the deadliest mass shooting since newtown, connecticut, in the United States. 14 people murdered. Now, officials are not ruling out terrorism. But word that the suspects were muslim, of course, fuels suspicion that it indeed terrorism. So what do Muslim Leaders say about what happened here . Cnns john vause talked with hassaem alush. He spoke with the brotherinlaw and heres what he had to say. Clearly right now, everybody is search for a motive in all of this. I know you have come out and condemned this attack. Clearly, weve spoken to the family, weve heard from syed farooks brotherinlaw, what more can you tell justice. Well, of course, we dont know the motives, the family is devastated like all americans today. Filled with sorrow and mourning and we express on their behalf heartfelt condolences to all of the families of the victims, and injured. To pay for whatever is responsible to pay the price. The family is devastated like all people. Is this the time to express solidarity among all of us, americans, rejecting whatever t
