   San Bernardino shooting updates   
      
   Key points   
   Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik, a married couple, opened   
   fire at a holiday party at the Inland Regional Center in San   
   Bernardino on Dec. 2.   
   Fourteen people were killed and 22 injured, most of them county   
   employees.   
   Both attackers were killed in a gun battle with police. Farook,   
   who was born in the U.S. and worked for the county, and Malik, a   
   Pakistan national, had an arsenal of ammunition and pipe bombs   
   in their Redlands home.   
   Enrique Marquez, a friend of Farook, bought two of the guns used   
   in the attack. He entered a mental health facility after the   
   massacre.   
   Farook and Malik began plotting a terror attack before they were   
   engaged and before Malik moved to the U.S. last year.   
   Investigators are trying to determine whether they had links to   
   foreign terror organizations.

   11:00 A.M.   
   Marking one week since the attack began   
   At this time one week ago, Syed Rizwan Farook and his wife,   
   Tashfeen Malik, pushed through the doors of a holiday gathering   
   and began shooting.   
      
   Before they fled, 14 people, most co-workers of Farook's, were   
   dead. Twenty-one others were wounded.   
      
   The first official word of the attack came in a tweet from the   
   San Bernardino Fire Department's official Twitter account.   
      
   Twelve minutes later, the San Bernardino County Sheriff's   
   Department warned that there was an "active shooter."

   Senator: How could Malik get a K-1 visa?   
      
   During a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing this morning, Sen.   
   Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), asked how Malik could get a visa and   
   pass a K-1 visa test “when she was communicating about jihad   
   online?”   
      
   “How does it sometimes get missed?” Schumer asked FBI Director   
   James Comey. “This is going to cause great consternation to the   
   American people, where we have two people talking about jihad   
   for a couple of years, and most Americans have the assumption   
   we’re on top of things like this.”   
      
   Comey said that in general, FBI agents know only about private   
   communication “if we have some reason to believe it’s going on.”   
   (Officials previously have said neither of the shooters was   
   known to law enforcement.)   
      
   Then, the FBI chief said, agents would seek court permission to   
   listen in to the communications, at least or until they “went   
   dark” and started using encrypted devices to get around U.S.   
   federal agents.

   [The attack was carried out] with a single, repugnant purpose:   
   to harm, frighten and intimidate anyone who believes in open and   
   tolerant societies; in free and democratic governments, and in   
   the right of every human being to live in peace, security and   
   freedom.   
    Atty. Gen. Loretta Lynch, speaking to the Royal Institute of   
   International Affairs in London on Wednesday   
      
   FBI: Farook and Malik planned attack before she moved to U.S.   
   FBI Director James Comey told the Senate Judiciary Committee on   
   Wednesday that Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik, his wife, began   
   scheming to carry out a terror attack before they were engaged   
   and before she moved to the United States on a fiancee visa last   
   year.   
      
   Comey’s announcement about the couple’s past takes the   
   investigation in a new direction, suggesting that Farook, a U.S.   
   citizen, purposely traveled to Saudi Arabia and Pakistan to find   
   a partner to help him carry out the attack.   
      
   Meanwhile, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said Malik may have   
   given false information on her visa application.
