The bomb squad later determined the package was not a threat and reportedly contained clothing. This as the firsrs photo emerges of the socalled black widow who pledged allegiance to isis online right around the same time the attack began. Miguellmaguer isn san bererrdino. Miguel, good morning. Morning. The scare at that ups center certainly reflective of the tension in this community. The fbi says it will take months for them to complete their investigigion. For now, there is no motive. But they say this is a terror investigation. This morning, a closer look at the husband and wife who many saw as an ordinary family until they murdered 14 and wounded 21. The investigation so far has developed indications of radicalization by the kililrs and of potential inspiration by foreign terrorist organizations. Reporter the fbi now pouring into the lives of sigh yesterday farook and Tashfeen Malik. She was the housewife from pakistan, who investigators say pledged support for isis on facebook. He was the americanborn food inspector, the parents of a 6monthold. We have several down in the conference room. Planned their office Party Massacre in the home where police discovered pipe bombs, ammunition, andnd tools to build ieds. Getting our first look inside, this is where investigators pored throughghocuments and scoured their digit call trail, which the fbi says they took special care to destroy. This is something political, because this brother, he couldnt have done that. Reporter the calclcated massacre would be the deadliest inspired islamist attack in the u. S. Since 9 11. If officials confirm, itc an act of terror. Killed by police in a gun battle afafer the shooting, the couple took the lives of mothers and fathers, sons and daughters. The youngest 26, the oldest 60. W w are just all so sick of seeing families get hurt by senseless violence. Reporter among the dead, his wounded coworker releasing a statement overnight saying shes only alive because johnson shielded her during the gunfire, telling her three words i got you. This morning, tears and heartbreak for the victims as police scour through the suspects les to piece the fbi director says as of now, there is no true way to tell the couples intent. There could have been some very valuable information on those cell phones and computers that were damamed. The fbi doing all they can to retrieve whatever information on that as possible. Craig . Miguel almaguer there for us in california this morning. Thank you. Were joined by the San Bernardino police chief Jarrod Burguan as well as sheriff john mcmahon. Thank you for talking with us this morning. Thanks for having us. Chief, i want to start w wth you. There have been rumor of new threats to potential targets in your area. Is there any validity to these rumors . This morning in your community about that . So, we have seen some of the same online posts that youre probably referring to. We do not have anything to indicate that theres any validity behind that. We been in great contact with the fbi as well as the local jttf, and we dont have anything that has been confirmed as an actual threat that we need to worry about. And as well as anyththg thats come into our department, we dont have anything that is active. We have been pretty good at putting out all of the available information that we have. Put some information out on an incident we had at one of our local theaters the day before the shooting happened. As i said yesterday in the press conferences, theres nothing to indicate that theres any validity behind that particular threat, but out of an abubuance of caution, we are letting people know about it. As far as what were telling people, we have really had the same message that this country has had since 9 11 and that is that youve got to live your life. You cannot live your life in fear. But youve got to be vigilant and youve got to use common been used recely, if you see tnk people are doing that. That. Based on the investigation to date, do you believe this couple s indeed radicalized, and if so, do you know who radicalized whom . So, i realize that theres been a lot of things out there, and i think the problem is that we work on facts and we really have to be careful that we know the facts. I know theres been people that have made reference to travel. I know theres been people that have made reference to statements from other friends and family that have t tked about maybe the word radicalization. But until we know definitively from our investigative standpoint that we feel comfortable saying that, weve got to be comfortable with how we use those rds. Sheriff, weve learned the First Responders may have been a target as well, obviously hearing the consumer left behinduple left behind a a bomb that didnt detonate. Our staff as well as jarrods staff are holding up very well. There were hundreds of First Responders that came to that area as a result of this tragic event. And they all are dealing with it in different ways. But overall, our folks are doing very, very well, and we are incredibly proud of the way they performed. Thisisis a tough time for the entire country and you guys are at the thick of it, and we thank you for joining us this morng. San bernardino chief jarrod Jarrod Burguan and chief john mcmahon. Thanks to both of you this morning. Youre welcome. Thank you. So just who is the mystery woman behind the San Bernardino massacre . The fbi a aknowledges they know little about Tashfeen Malik. Her husbands friends and family are also apparently in the dark. Nbcs Stephanie Gosk is outside the couples home i i redlands,s, califofoia. Stephanie, good morning. Reporter good morning, craig. Tashfeen malik went through a rigorous process to get into this country on whats caoled a fiancee visa. For and received a green card. Now the question is, if she became radicalized, when did it happen, and was there something in those applications thathe u. S. Authorities missed . Finally, a faceo put to a name. And this morning, new details about who Tashfeen Malik was. Lawyers for the family describe her as a typical housewife who spent most of her time at this rented apartment. And they say the family didnt know her well. Theyve never seen her face because she did wear a burka. Reporter a conservative muslim, she prayed five times a day and chose not to drive. She grew up in pakistan. At about 18 to 20 years of age, she m mved to s sdi arabia. Reporter its believed sigh yesterday farook met malik on an Online Dating site and traveled to saudi arabia in 2014 to marry. Sigh yesterdays sister told Chris Jansing they barely talked about her past. We were barely starting to get to know her because she was quiet and shy like him. Reporter to get int the granted malik a k1 visa, or a fiancee visa. You have to go through biometrics, you have to establish theh bona fides of a marriage. Reporter they had a second wedding, mandatory within 20 days of entering the issue. Malik was issued her green card in july 2015. She left behind a monthold daughter to commit the bloody rampage that has stunned this community.

Items investigators will meticulously review to learn more about the mother and wife turned killer. Tt family says malik was not in this house with the baby by herself during the day when her husband went to work. The grandmother lived with them, but she stayed mostly upstairs and had no idea what the couple was planning. Back to you. Stephanie golf course, thank you. Morning, president obama said it is entirely possible these two attackers were radicalized to commit this act of terror. Sean hennry served as an executive assistant director of the fbi. He is now the chief Security Officer for crowd strike. Good morning to you. Selfradicalization, it is a word, a term we have been passing about a fair amount. It appears if they were radicalized, they were selfradicalized, they were not directed by an outside group. How does one become selfradicalized, shawv . It begins with people who feel that theyre disenfranchised. They have some type of religious inclination. Theyre not happy with where they are here in the United States or elsewhere. The political beliefs and those around them perhaps are not accepting them into the community. And theyre looking for something more. They go out to these websites that these jihadists are propagating globallyly with a message about the caliphate and about jihad and about what they need to do to strike down the nonbelievers. This constant messaging is really, really difficult for Law Enforcement perspective because you cant determine if someone is surfing the web from inside their bedroom. You cant make a determination where theyre getting these messagag from and whh theyre starting to move from something that may bes a pir ration s a pir ragsaspirational to reality. She may have radicalized him. How real is the possibility, shawn, that they met online . She came from saudi arabia with the sole intent of waging jihad. Well, its speculation now, but i certainly think that this is a line of investigation that the fbi will be looking aa the connectivity to pakistan and to saudi arabia is going to be a large effort for the fbi with those two countries, and the broadad u. S. Intellllgence community. I think that that is something they have got to pursue. When you think about foreign fighters who may be looking to get into this country, there are multiple avenues they may be going down, and from a Law Enforcement perspective, this is something that weve got to ensure weve got a good handle on. Selfradicalization ininernally, foreign fighters coming from external. Many opportunities for bad people to come here. We need to make sure that we are looking at this in a much more aggressive way, craig. G. Shawn henry, thank you so much, shawn. This latest attack is also having a big impact on the race for the white house. Candidates from both sides are wasting no time weighing in on the massacrcr and who can keep america safe. Ron allen is at the white house. Good morning to you. Reporter word that the fbi is treating the San Bernardino attack as terrorism has intensified republblan criticism of president obama, who they extremism abroad and here at home, as talking tough about being strong keeps pushing donald trump further ahead of the pack. Wow reporter donald trump with an enthusiastic crowd, explaining how he would deal with te threat of terrorism. If the people in paris, or the people in california if you had a couple of folks in there with guns, and that knew how to use th, and t tey were in that room, you wouldnt have dead people. The dead people would be the other guys. Reporter at this iowa gun ownersights event, ted cruz blasting away. We will not defeat radical islamic terrorism, so long as the president is unwilling to utter the words radical islamic terrorism. Reporter with america worried about terror striking at home, a new National Poll taken after the paris attacks, but before San Bernardino gives trump some of his highest ahead, with cruz surging into second place. Trump also with top marks on Foreign Policy and handling isis. Again, cruz second on both fronts. Gun rights and fighting terror big gop issues as the administration tries to play down the fear factor. Try channel it into an awareness of your surroundings, to get you to a place where you are living your life, but if you see something that doesnt make nse, you Say Something to somebody. Reporter and the leading democratic i iender tries strike a balance. I dont see any conflict at all between going after the terrorists with everything weve got and doing more on gun safety measures. I see no contradiction. Reporter but on the trail and across the country, the deep divide on this emotional issue endures. Theyre still out there talking about gun control measures, as if somehow terrorists care about what our gun laws are. Reporter while the campaign rages on at the white house, officials have said theyre redoubling efforts to fight terror abroad and to protect the the president as said his inability to do more to prevent Mass Shootings and tighten gun laws is the biggest frustration of his time in office. Sheinelle . Thanks. This morning, a rare sisit on the front page of the New York Times. Check this out. Its an editorial taking on the gun culture in america. It is the First Time Since 1920 that the times has put an editorial on its front page. They slammed the gun industry and the politicians who back them, writing it is a moral outrage and a National Disgrace that people can legally purchased weapons designed specifically to kill with brutal speed and efficiency. The added quote, opponents of gun control are saying that determined killers obtained weapons illegagaly in placeslike france, england, and norway that have strict gun laws. Yes, they did. But at least those countries are trying. The United States is not. Lets go to Kristen Welker now. She has moror information on the master minds behind the paris terror attacks. Good morning to you. Good morning to you, sheinelle. Thats absolutely right. Massacre are now being linked to travel in england andther parts of europe.
