UPDATE ON SAN BERNARDINO MASSACRE - MOTIVE NOT YET CONFIRMED

San Bernardino massacre at California holiday party that left 14 dead and 21 is still being investigated by the authorities. The couple who unleashed the bloodbath Wednesday fired as many as 75 rounds at the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino and tried to slaughter more with a rigged pipe bomb that never detonated, authorities said on Thursday 3rd December 2015. 

Syed Rizwan Farook, 28, who was born in Chicago, and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, 27, were killed in a shootout with police a few miles away more than four hours after the rampage. The couple — clad in black tactical gear but not bulletproof vests — fired 76 more rifle rounds during a pursuit with police, San Bernardino Police Chief Jarrod Burguan told reporters. Officers returned about 380 rounds. Authorities said they are still trying to determine why Farook and his wife attacked the Inland Regional Center.

"We do not know the motive. ... It would be irresponsible of me and be way too early to speculate on motive," said David Bowdich, assistant director in charge of the FBI in Los Angeles. Read more NBC NEWS
