A couple who were suspected of killing 14 people in a mass shooting in California and were later slain in a shootout with police were identified by authorities on Wednesday as Syed Rizwan Farook, 28, and his wife Tashfeen Malik, 27.
Armed with assault-style weapons, the two are believed to have opened fire Wednesday morning at a social services agency Christmas event in San Bernardino, California. The attack, which also left 17 wounded, was the most deadly shooting in the United States in three years.
Farook was an employee of San Bernardino County who attended a Christmas party at the Inland Regional Center, stormed out and later returned to fire on the celebration, said Jarrod Burguan, police chief in the city of San Bernardino, 60 miles (100 km) east of Los Angeles.
