Syed Farook
Hours before the shooters were identified, ISIS began celebrating the shooting using the Twitter hashtag #America_Burning. This coupled with the religion of the shooters leads many to believe the incident is a terrorist attack. One of the shooters has been identified as Syed Farook, a married man with children, who is an environmental inspector and American citizen, who worked for the state of California. Farook is being described as a devout Muslim.
Another of the shooters has been identified as Farook's brother. A third shooter was described on police scanners as an "Arabic woman." Two of the three suspects, one of them the woman, has been killed in a shoot out with police, as the left Farook's house in Redlands, California. A police officer was wounded during the battle. The police did a quick and thorough job in identifying, finding and cornering the shooters, who tried to flee in a black SUV.
