Syed Rizman Farook (28) and his wife, Tashfeen Malik (29) were the last people any co-worker of Syed’s would have suspected to be the prime suspects of the San Bernardino shooting on the afternoon of December 2^nd.

On the morning of December 2^nd, the county’s department of public health was having a holiday party on the South side of San Bernardino.

The first person to arrive to the party was Mr. Farook, who sat at the head of the table after slinging his coat over the back of his chair. After Farook arrived, about 75 more co-workers arrived.

They were getting ready to play a trivia game when Farook exited the room. As the woman came around, passing out the clickers for the true or false game that was on the big screen, someone noticed Farook wasn’t in his seat.

“Where’s Syed?” a co-worker at his table asked.

Syed’s wife, Tashfeen Malik, had kept to herself whenever she was around co-workers or at family events. She wore a headscarf that made her face obscure to others.

Two weeks prior to the shooting, Farook and a co-worker Nicholas Thalasinos (57,a Messaanic Jew that wore a tie clip with the star of David) got into an argument whether Islam was a violent religion.

Thasinos was at Farook’s table before he left. Co-worker Patrick Baccari got up from the table and went to use the restroom. As Bacarri was getting paper towels, he heard a blast and a hole as in the wall.

“Everyone get down!” Bacarri yelled. Everyone hit the floor as they heard gun shots. Farook and Malik burst into the conference room in black masks and opened fire with AK 47 semi-automatic rifles

Bullets struck Amlanos, Thalasinos and others at Farook’s table. A muslim woman he prayed with was killed.

Amanda Gaspard dropped to the floor and slid under her table to close her eyes and lay motionless, but Farook or Malik shot her in the arm and leg, making her unabl to move.

Julie Swann- Paez lay on the floor, bleeding from being shot in the thigh and abdomen, pelvis shattered  and still was able to sent a text to her family, “Love you guys. Was shot.”

It took Nick Paez (26) hours to find his mother. He told her that the main suspect was her co-worker Syed.

Her response was, “That doesn’t make sense. They were congratulating him for having a baby!”

After firing at least sixty-five rounds, they stopped and set a black duffel bag on the table that had three pipe bombs tied together that was wired to a remote control. That’s when the 911 calls started coming in.

Within four minutes of the first 911 call, police were on the way to the scene. Dispatchers were told that people were fleeing from the South side of the building where an unknown suspect was shooting people who fled.

Lieutenant Mike Madden was a mile away when he heard the frantic dispatch calls. He headed over to the building and waited for three other officers to arrive.

All fours officers went into the building and the dead bodies they found were “surreal”, says Lieutenant Madden.

Madden motioned for some of the survivors in the hallway to come to them, but no one moved. They all had fear- stricken faces. One survivor finally fled and dozens followed after.

The couple fled the scene in the black SUV with Utah plates, clad in black gear but not bulletproof vests. They died in a shootout a few hours away from scene, a few hours after the mass shooting.

David Bowdich, assistant director in charge of the FBI in Los Angeles said, “There was obviously a mission here, we do not know why. We do not know if this was the intended target or something triggered him.”
