7:09 am
side of the story. good morning, matt. >> reporter: good morning, robin. that's righgh is is a middle class community of stuccoed condos, christmas wreaths on the doors but overnight we heard an explosion coming out of that house, the bomb squad sending in a robot after officers battered down the door and still at this hour investigators are trying to piece together how and why this plot was hatched. co-workers describe 28-year-old syed farook seen here on an online dating profile as a soft-spoken devout muslim who rarely discussed his religion in the office. >> that's nothing i c c remember that would lead me to think he may do this type of thing. >> he certainly seemed mild-mannered on his dating profile on this site describingg himself as allah fearing, calm, thoughtful, a simple man looking for a girl who would wear a hijab.
7:10 am
health safety and environmental inspector born in america found the type of girl he was looking for abad. >> he said he found a wife online from saudi arabia. he got permission to go there and marry her. >> reporter: police believe that woman could be tashfeen malik his 27-year-old accomplice. theeouple had a a baby and the office, colleagues say, the same one the couple allegedly targeted wednesday throughew a baby shower for them and abc news confirmed they dropped their 6-month-old infanttff with farook's mother before heading off on that deadly rampage. telling farook's mother, they had a doctor's appointment. farook reportedly left the building shortly before an office photo in what many describe as an agitated state. >> he was acting nervous, left the building. 20 minutes later or so the shooting gan. >> reporter: returning, police say, with malik and armlmld of guns and bops. his brother-in-law overnight
7:11 am
i have no idea why would he do that. why would he do something like this? i have absolutely no idea. i i in shock myself. >> reporter: expressing his shock and condolences to the families. >> i just cannot express how sad i am for, you know, what happened totoy. >> reporter: that couple leaving behind, of course, that 6-month-old infant, a baffled family and very rattled community here. and investitors still trying to piece together how they stockpiled all those arms, those -- all that ammunition, the explosives without anybody knowing about it. george. >> so many questions to sort through right now. thank you. more answers now from our chief investigative correreondent brian ross, our senior justice correspondent pierre thomas and former fbi special agent brad garrett in washington. brad, let me begin with you. as ts was unfolding yesterday afternoon knowing that the shooters h h escaped this an suv, some thought they might go far but ended up so close to home, so close to the incident.
7:12 am
they believe they got a clean getaway and to restock. momo weapons, more ammunition possibly more explosives because what we don't know at this point was there a round two? >> a round two and, brian ross, what more are we learning about the possible motives about the shooters? >> well, appears to be a hybrid workplace jihad. he had issues, he targeted his traveled to saudi arabia where he met the woman he says he married on his website, the dating line website and appears to be an all-american boy, snowboarding, and guns and likes to relax by going in the backyard for target practice. >> pick up on that idea. seems to be some kind of a hybrid incident. a l l of planning here. >> two lines of inquiry. they are looking at the workplace angle. what happened that could have sparked this. they're also looking at did he get radicalized online? was there a meeting or something
7:13 am
they say they have not made a final determination but those are the two primary thing. >> this has been such the big fear, the idea you can s)mply go online and that's how you get inspired. >> exactly. anan i talked to senior official just a few moments ago who said that this may be some kind of weird combination, where just last year you had a case in oklahoma where a man beheaded one of his cocoorkers. that turned out to be workplace related because he had just been dismissed but also they found some material online that may have suggested radicalization. >> that was the same with ft. hood and majaj hassan who targeted his fellow employees at the military base but amirs to have been radicalized online. debate whether to call it terrorism or workplace violence. in the end it didn't matter to the victims. >> there was a hell of a lot of planning that went into this and my source just#told me how did he suddenly go from being agitated and coming back with that much weaponry.
7:14 am
the fbi has studieds these mass shootings, 160 active shooting situatioio, only two not done by lone wolves >> that's correct, george. have we entered a new era here? i don't know. husband/wife, she looked like she was, you know, a coequal to him during the shooting. there's got to be, george, some training going on here. they're too casual with the weapons from the vehicle inside the hull so where did they train? who trained them, et cetera. >> relatives, brian ross, aspects and echoes of the boston marathon bombing. >absolutely, where the family says they were shocked. they had no idea in the case of the tsarnaev brother, the older brother radicalized and the younger brother and t ted to lead a normal life. >> that is what is so stunning, the idea this kind of planning could go on in secret without being detected by anyone. >> yes, the secret service just
7:15 am
that looked at attacks against government facilities and one of the prime things they saw over and over were missed warning signs. >> and right now so far nothing is turing up. >> in this case the involvement of a woman is very unusual. neither isis nor al qaeda allows women to be warriors or fighters. they're not allowed to martyr themselves, a kind of bon think and clyde as it were of terrorism. >> so much more to learn. i know you'll be on it all day long. back to robin. >> the shooters killed 14 people. 17 others injvred. many of them taken to a hospital in loma linda and abc's kayna whitworth is there right now for us. good morning, kayna. >> reporter:robin, good morning to you. just moments ago i got af update on the conditions of the people that were brought here. in all at loma linda hospital they brought in five adult patients yesterday and as of this morning we know that their conditions are three listed in fair and two are listed in critical condititn. now,w,his is the only level one

7:17 am
good morning, jon. >> reporter: good morning, george. this is the fifth time the president has had a comment on a mass shooting just in the last five months, and in an interview *ust as the news was breaking about this shooting, the president said instances like this are simply too common here in the united states and even before knowing anything about the shooters or how they got their weapons, he said it is time for congress to pass tougher gun laws. >> yeah, we have a pattern now of mass shootings in this country that has no parallel anywhere else in the world. and there are some steps we could take not to eliminate every one of these mass shootings but to improve the odds that they don't happen as frequently. >> reporter: and this happened just after the preredent returned from paris where he visited the site of the deadliest of the attacks that rocked that city less than three weeks ago laying a rose at a memorial outside the bataclan theatre and called the inability

way to print. i think when people hear about memory care they're scared, they think that it's sad. i think it's important for everyone to know that there is
8:06 am
that these residents still have lives and their lives still matter and that they are still l ving their lives. that they're not locked away and that they still have a lot to live for, you know, that they have people that care about themnd they have people$pthat love them and i love them, so their lives still matter. that is what i do this for. fact. when emergency room doctors choose an otc pain reliever for their patients mususe, back and joint pain. the medicine in advil is their #1 choice. nothing is stronger on tough pain than advil. relief doesn't get any better than this. advil. welcome back to "gma." we want to get more now on the survivors of this horrific attack. 17 17 injured and kayna whitworth is at loma linda hospital. you're getting an update. >> reporter: yeah, george, just moments ago we got an update on the victimsmsrought here to loma linda.

the first responders all did such a great job. thanks very much. >> theyyeally did. earlier i spoke with the family of one of the shooting victims, kevin ortiz is recovering after being shot in the leg and shoulder and his aunt rosa and sister k ksey updated me on his condition just moments ago. >> rosa and kelsey, we thank you very much for joining us this morning. please tell us how kevin is doing, rosa. >> kevin at this moment is stable. he sustained five gunshot wounds. his vitals are stable. unfortunately he's in a lot of pain, butte're trying to stay at his side and comfort him and give him all the support he knees at this moment. >> kelsey, we understand that your brother was able t make a phone call. who did he call and what did he say? >> he called his wife,( recently
8:09 am
called my father andnd he just let them know that he had been shot, he had told my father that the police was next to him and iding him out. told him that he loved them and that he had to go. >> just tell us a little about your brother. >> he's come a very, very long way and he has stepped out of a lot of bad habits and everything to become a great young man. graduating from college with high honors and, you know, being a very faithful man to god, dedicate himsmsf to that and his life and getting married to an amazing woman. it's just such tragedy that this had to happen. >> rosa, just tell us how you as a family, how the community there, how you are coping and handling such a -- all this tragedy. >> w w feel the love. we feel that everybody is with
8:10 am
it's been difficult situation, you know, and we just want to reallylyend our condolences to the family members that didn't make it out. and kevin was one of the lucky ones to be able to still be here with us. >> oh, rosa. what you just said, i mean, to be thinking of others with what your family is going through says a lot about your entire family. rosa and kelsey, please, i know you can't wait to see kevin again and just thank you very much and just know that our hearts are with you. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> it's appreciated. thank you for all the support. >> as you know the rampage took placeet a work event something so many of us fear when we see a story like this and we're joined now by psychiatrist and psychoanalyst dr. gail saltz and dr. janet taylor t t talk about the implications of workplace violence and just overall i saw you both watching the family. you've been watching all of this coverage. gail, first what are your
8:11 am
>> i am concerned for, frankly, the nation that we're upset, of course, and we have to manage our fear, we have to managag our anxiety so that we don't shrink our world which is the objective of people who do something like this is to terrorize us and make us shrink our world. but at the same time i'm also concerned we're getting desensitized to this kind of violence and that that kind of desensitization makes it harder to enact change and obviously we need to enact some change. >> sheeally -- i'm so glad you said that, janet. it gets so -- we don't't- this is not the newnormal. it can't be the new normal and so many were saying is this the new formal and also the fact that so many people have become numb like here we go again and there's a danger in that, isn't there. >> there is. as a nation we cannot accept the fact that any violence is a new
8:12 am
that gun control is important, you know, violence is a public health concern. and every time i see it, i mean it hits me in the gut and i think that is normal and it's acceptable and we need to use that to focus on what's good in our lives and to focus on connecting and certainly i'm so flat that "gma" is paying attention to public mental health and focus on how it affects us psychologically because invariably it does and even exposure to watching it on tv and listening to the families and thinking about trauma that all of us have had in our lives bears a toll on us so it's important to recognize it and think aboutut . >> becauau so many peoplpl watching this on television. >> yes. too many people are probably watching it over and over again and having it in the background while their children are in the room and, you know, unfortunately, you know, we have to go to work, right, and our children are aware that we go to work and it does -- if you don't deal with whatever your thoughts
8:13 am
mind still the likelihood of being killed at work is less than the likelihood of being struck by litning. and you have to be able to hold on to some of the logical thoughts which are difficult to do because when you have it coming through your screen constantly it feels like it's happening much, much more often but you have to hold on to that logic to, of course, be disturbed byy what's g gng onn but at the same time know that, you know, you're not going to stop crossing the street. you're not going to stop driving your car. you're not going to stop going to work and your world doesn't need to shrink and if you are one of the more susceptible people which is somebody who has an anxiety disorder already or somebody who's had past trau. somebody who doesn't have social support like f fily and iends, somebody who is abusing substances those people are at greater risk than if this is really getting you to you like you're making your world smsmler, you need help.
8:14 am
i was at a broadway play and somebody sitting next to me said, aren't you afraid being here in new york city and i'm saying, w wre could you go anywhere in this country but how do you talk, janet, in particular to children who are seeing this, who you can't shield this from. >> you limit their exposure. you ask them if they've seen it. how they feel. think about how you feel yourself and talk honestly about it in an age appropriate way but understand that the balance to trauma is recovery and that recovery comes from safety, so with your kidss you establish safety routines that you do in your home. they can do in their school. you ask and talk to them aboutp mourning or remembering it a certain way and focus on re-establishinin your rouounes because no matter what has happened, no matter how scary the world seems kids have to go to school and study and listen to you. you have to go to work. you have to re-establish the patterns of connection and love and that's what every single incidence of violence does, has
8:15 am
people who are within our reach? and focus on that and be honest. >> be honest with them and answer their questions and by re-establishing rare routine you help desensitize them to the fear in a good way, when you bring them back into doing the routute and seeing t tt they're okay and you're okay, then that actually diminishes the anxiety they feel. >> ow do we strike a balance? it's a conversation here at abc news, you know, we mention the shooters and do we show the pictures? how much do we show of what has happened? i mean, we have to do our jobs and then people also at home, they want to know but they don't want to know. how do we both triri that balance. >> we have an off switch with ourselves and so there are times you have to put down the smartphones and focus on face-to-face and talking about how you feel and getting back to those things, you know, terror has happened for hundreds of years but what we had, we sit
8:16 am
feel. 's time to get back to that. talking to strangers, acknowledging things and talking to families about things that are hurtful. >> when you connect -- like the family dinner is hugely important especicily at a timee like this where you share your day, the innocuous things that give you a sense of safety, connectedness, you know, humans to bond over anything elsend that is actually what makes us feel more relaxed. >> and hope. so you share stories of how you've overcome something or a family member and what they did and getting back to basics so wee don't scare ourselves to the point that we have so much anxiety we can't function. >> some people will need help. >> absolutely, definitely. >> people who are surrounded by this or had a past trauma are likely to be evoked by this. >> i've been going out to commercial breaks and spending time with the audience and they're smiling and happy and know what's gone on but planned
