It was a solemn night in San Bernardino. Thousands came together for a candle light vigil to remember the victims and their families. Amy, you saw that sadness up close. It is sad.

Yet, every time you hear from the witnesses, about what they felt, what they saw, the panic, the fear. The terror. It really is still unthinkable. Completely unthinkable.

Overnight, a new look at not only what they were carrying point out, inside their home. This was a massive arsenal. Certainly large enough to carry out another attack. Just as i sat down with one of farooks coworkers. They sat at desks together for years. He thought he was a friend. He sat with him at the table that morning. This morning, a closer look at the most revealing images yet of theletle weapons used in the deadly shooting rampage.

[ gunshots ] while farook was driving, his wife was firing out the window of the car. The suspects are believed to have fired about 75 rifle rounds at the officers at the termination of the pursuit. Reporter overnight, what it was like in the conference hall. Extremely loud. The fire alarms were going off. There were people obviously injured. And obviously in great amounts of pain. And, that was evident in the moans and the wails that we were hearing in the room. Reporter spoke with patrick baccari, a coworker, who shared a cubicle with syed farook for years. You have the same title . Similar. Discussed similar things. I thought i made a connection with him talking about preparing cars and things like that. Asked him some of his experiences, things like that. Reporter that was how you got him to open up . Talking about cars . I would greet him and i its like youre trying to initiate conversation. And it just doesnt perpetuate or get anywhere. Reporter baccaris life was spared because he wept to the restroom just as the killers were about to enter the room. H shots came through the wall. I get hit with a blast. I dont know what it is. I thought the paper towel dispenser was booby trapped. Reporter it blows up in your face. You look in the mirror. I see im bleeding.

Overnight here, a vigil honoring the victims. There were thousands at that vigil. The entire list of the victims released overnight as they were gathering to honor and mourn their faces, their names. I should share one more thing that coworker patrick shared with us. He was inside this center at the table with him. He did notice that when it was time to take the annual christmas photo, farook was missing. He thought nothing of it until the gunfire gain blasting through the wall. It was awhile later until he heard the name syed. He still couldnt believe it. Youll be back later in the program. In the meantime, the fbi is treating the shootings as a possible terror attack. Investigators digging deep into the life of the husband and wife team. Brian ross has the latest. Officially call it a case of terrorism. Increasingly, Law Enforcement Officials Say the action leave little doubt about the aim of their mission. In the same San Bernardino townhouse where they were raising their infant daughter, syed ma farook and his pakistaniborn wife, Tashfeen Malik, were preparing to go to war. Enough weapons to kill thousands of people. Some 6100 rounds. Their garage was a virtual bomb factory. With 1 unexploded bombs. Described as similar to this one featured in an al qaeda publication. All that in addition to this bomb. It used a yellow toy car as a remotecontrol detonator. One neighbor was alarmed. They were doing a lot of work in the garage. And she was kind of suspicious. Reporter but nobody called the police. Have continued to do another attack. Reporter farook had worked for five years at the county health department. The widow of one of those he murdered said there were no warning science. Is there they were all friends with the man who did this. They knew he was muslim. They had no idea he had become radicalized. Reporter theyre travel and contacts are being monitored. Looking for evidence to what turned farook and his wife into killers. Agents went to the mosque he often attended. The imam said he was questioned by authorities at gunpoint. He would not answer questions about farook but told abc news he condemns all violence. The news of the shooting was shocking. Unbelievable. Unfathomable. Left us all speechless. It is an act that has we condemn as muslims. Reporter also left behind as off in the rented suv for a fatal showdown with police was their 6monthold daughter. Theyre unsure which daughter has custody of the orphaned little girl. Federal authorities tell abc news the fbi is looking for connections between two specific individuals and farook. To see if they were involved in his radicalization or helping to plan the attacks. His massive arsenal would have cost thousands of dollars, fair amount of money for someone who takes home 700 a week. Were going to get more from pierre thomas. This couple did a lot to cover their tracks. Law enforcement Officials Say the suspected shooters did attempt a coverup. Mobile phones and hard drives were smashed or tampered with. Fbi computer analysts will try to reconstruct what was destroyed. Authorities fear this was an attempt to hide what the couple were viewing and who they had communicated with. This couple not on the fbi radar at all . Sources say they had done nothing suspicious enough to come under serious fbi scrutiny. The fbi is poring over files to make sure nothing is missed.
