Twenty-four hours after the shooting rampage in San Bernardino, details are slowly starting to come out.
What we know is that the shooters have been identified as Syed Rizwan Farook and his partner Tashfeen Malik. We know they live in Redlands and have a 6-month old daughter. We know 28-year-old Farook worked as a health inspector and attended the party that was held at the Inland Regional Center. But what we still don’t know is their motive.
How do investigators go about determining a motive in such a case? Could a tragedy like what happened yesterday in San Bernardino be prevented or anticipated?
