significant security breaches, including a september 2014 incident when the secret service didn't vet armed security guards who were standing very close to the president when he visited the cdc. and a march 2015 incident in which two possibly drunk officers interfered with a crime scene surrounding a threatened bomb outside the white house grounds. all of this comes in the wake of a series of high profile scandals and incidents that have driven morale at the secret service to an all-time low. we contacted the secret service this morning, but so farther not commenting on these new revelations. >> the "cbs overnight news" will be right back.have performed 9,421 and a half prostate exams. so why do i do it? because i get paid. und... on this side of the glove

about $2,000 in colombia. that same kilo sells for $25,000 here in the united states. >> reporter: when the smugglers are caught, the coast guard says they rarely put up a fightht and so far they've arrested nearly 700 of them. well, most of the cocaine and smugglers are going to be prosecuted here in the u.s. as for the cocaine, some is going to be kept for evidence. the rest will be incinerated at a secret location. >> that's the "overnight news" for this friday. for some of you the news continues. for others check back later for the morning news and "cbs this morning." from the broadcast center in new york city, i'm anna warner. the san bernardino killers turned their home into an arsenal. >> they could have continued to do another attack.

employees, at a holiday office party. 14 were killed. among them, daniel kaufman, who ran a coffee shop in the building. nicholas thalasinos was remembered for his compassion, and michael wetzel leaves behind six children. 19 were wounded plus two law enforcement officers who were hurt in the shootout with the suspects. we have extensive coverage from a team of correspondents, and first we'll go to carter evans in san bernardino. carter? >> reporter: scott, the fbi has flown in a special team from washington to reenact and reconstruct the crime scene. they're also going to be analyzing digital evidence to try and get a better understanding of why this married couple opened fire on a crowd of innocent people. [ gunfire ]

>> reporter: the rampage ended on a residential street in a hail of gunfire. [ sirens blaring ] when it was over, the two suspects were dead. police say the couple left behind an arsenal of weapons, 6,700 bullets inside their home along with 12 pipe bombs and enough materials and tools to build several more, according to san bernardino police chief jarrod burguan. chief, do you believe they were planning another attack? >> we don't know. clearly they were equipped and they could have continued to do another attack. we intercepted them before that happened. >> reporter: but police say syed farook and his wife tashfeen malik parked a rented black ford expedition at 11:00 a.m. in the parking lot behind the south building of the inland regional center. they walked through unlocked doors, directly into the room where the holiday party was underway. investigators say the two were wearing masks and black tactical clothing armed with semiautomatic rifles. >> when they entered, fired

scene. >> reporter: did they appear to be targeting anyone in particular? >> they sprayed the room with bullets. i don't know there was any one person they ultimately targeted. >> reporter: but sources tell cbs news health department managers were the first ones shot. the couple left behind three pipe bombs tied together and connected to a remote control car. police believe it malfunctioned. there was no explosion. witnesses who worked with farook told police he attended the party but left early. >> where that came from was another person that was in the building that knew him that identified him by name expressed some concern over his behavior prior to the event. >> reporter: police put his home under surveillance and gave chase when they spotted the black suv. cell phone video captured the gunfire that erupted. >> holy [bleep]. >> reporter: the couple fired at least 75 rounds at police, a total of 23 officers returned fire with 380 rounds, killing

inside the suv, officers found two ar-15 semiautomatic rifles and two nine millimeter pistols along with 1,600 rounds. now initially, police thought a third suspect might still be on the loose, but, scott, today they are confident there is no remaining threat at this time. >> carter evans, thanks. so what was the motive? our chief legal correspondent jan crawford is following that part of the investigation. jan? >> reporter: well, scott, the fbi won't call this a terrorist attack yet, but it is leading the investigation because the case has some hallmarks of terrorism. officials stress they still don't know the motive. officials tell cbs news syed farook was not on any u.s. watch list, but two law enforcement sources say they have found evidence farook had contact with a person in the u.s. and people overseas with suspected ties to terrorism. investigators are focusing on the extent of those contacts and whether farook may have been influenced or possibly

law enforcement sources tell cbs news what they do know so far: farook, a u.s. citizen, born in chicago to pakistani immigrants, graduated from california state san bernardino in 2010. he went to work for the local health department and then turned to online dating sites in search of a wife. he found tashfeen malik. they met and became engaged in 2013 when farook made a trip to saudi arabia during the annual muslim pilgrimage known as the hajj. farook returned to saudi arabia in july 2014 to bring her to the u.s., ind earlier this year, the couple had a baby. the court documents reveal other parts of farook's family life were turbulent. in november 2014, farook's father threatened suicide in front of farook and his brother. last february farook's mother took out a restraining order against his father, saying he was bipolar and abusive. all this is now being looked at by the fbi, which seized computers, thumb drives and

shipped them to washington for now farook's wife did pass counterterrorism screening as part of her visa application process. but scott, until law enforcement determines the true motive in this attack, whether it's terrorism or workplace violence, it's not clear if warning signs were actually missed. >> jan, thank you. ten victims remain in two hospitals. two of them are in critical condition. john blackstone spoke with some of the families. >> reporter: jennifer stevens, 2 2, who graduated this summer, and took a job with the san bernardino county health department. >> it's devastating. >> reporter: lisa stevens is jennifer's mother, who got the kind of phone call every parent dreads. >> she said, mommy, i've been shot and they took the phone from her. it was about four hours later

in the side. when her mother came to visit -- >> she said i saw people die. >> reporter: also among the wounded, a health inspector with san bernardino county. she was shot at least twice after arriving at that holiday party, to be honored as employee of the year. nicholas thalasinos did not survive. tonight he leaves behind a widow, jennifer. a schoolteacher. >> he was so kind to everybody. just my whole life has been basically turned upside down. he just had an enormous heart. >> reporter: nicholas thalasinos occasionally posted views on social media critical of islam, but his wife says she had no idea syed farook ever saw those postings. >> john, thank you. the "cbs overnight news" will be right back. with three simple words. my name is chris noth

if you were a hippie in the '60s, you need to know. it's the dawning of the age of aquarius. yeah, and something else that's cool. what? osteoporosis is preventable. all: osteo's preventable? right on! if you dig your bones, protect them. all: cbs cares! farook's wife came into the united states on a visa specifically for fiances.

this morning," spoke to the lead investigators in san bernardino. norah? >> reporter: scott, she was the most unlikely accomplice, a 27- year-old mother with an infant at home, and now involved in one of the deadliest mass shootingng authorities say tashfeen malik was clad entirely in black tactical gear. her face was obscured by a ski mask. along with her husband, syed farook, they fired 65 to 75 rounds in the inland regional center before fleeing in a black suv. once the car was surrounded, police chief jarrod burguan says she fired out of the back, taking aim at law enforcement. what do you know about her? was she shooting as much as she was? >> she was engaged in a gun battle w wh our police officerer and there were two shootererat the scene, so, yes, she fired rounds. >> reporter: she fired rounds? >> how many she fired versus him, i don't know. she fired at our officers, i

>> there's one guy down. there's one guy in the back of a car. >> reporter: i can't get my y ad around the fact that a 27-year-old mother of a 6-month-old is firing off as many rounds like she is. >> i think the entire event doesn't make a whole lot of sense to be honest with you, and it's kind of hard to wrap your head around why anybody would do anything like this regardless of who o ey are. >eporter: authorities know little about tashfeen malik. she was not an american citizen but was here on a k1 visa according to fbipecial agent david bowdich. >> she was here on a pakistani passport. >> reporter: she's here on pakistani passport? >> correct. >> reporter: isn't it highly unusual to have a motherf a 6-month-old, engaged in a shootout? >> i would think it's unusual. >> reporter: scott, police say she had no criminal record and was not on any terrorist watch list. >> norah o'donnell, thanks. now, with some insight into all of this, we turn to michael

the cia and our senior security contributor. michael, we now know that farook went to saudi arabia twice, went to pakistan once, was in communications with people that the fbi was watching for being islamic extremists. >> right. >> what does that add up to? >> w wt it adds up to me is this was a guy who was probably radicalized by either isis or al qaeda, a guy, given the amount of weapons and explosives that he had, that he was planning something significant. >> something bigger than what we actually s s? >> perhaps. perhaps. he obviously didn't take all of what he had. so either it was going to be a series of events or he was planning something bigger and this took its place because of the office anger that he had. >> a dozen pipe bombs left behind in n s home. >> exactly. >> does it matter anymore whether these things are inspired by extremists or directed by extremists? >> scott, i think it matters a

when it's just inspired, you're usually talking about one or two people and the number of casualties is limited. it's a relatively small number. when it's directed, you have the potential for much more. when it's directed, you have the potential for multiple operatives, simultaneous attacks, killing much, much larger number of people, like paris. >> just like paris. michael morrell, former number two at the cia. michael, thanks as always. was farook radicalized? our david begnaud spoke with a coworker who narrowly missed the shooting. >> reporter: a san bernardino health worker christian nwadike says he and fofo other men were in the restroom when first shots were fired. >> so when the blast came in, i lost every feeling. i thought, this might be life or death. >> reporter: you thought you might die? >> yes. strongly. >> reporter: how long did you

>> i would say ten minutes. >> reporter: what could you hear as you were lying on the floor? >> there were cries. there were shots. >> reporter: nwadike, who is originally from nigeria, sat in a cubicle next to syed farook for five years. >> whehehe came back from sasai arabia, he started growing bebed. that was the change. >> reporter: do you believe he was radicalized? >> yes. >> reporter: was he ever violent? >> no. >> reporter: was he ever rude? >> never. >> reporter: was he talkative? >> he rarely talks. >> reporter: do you feel l)ke you missed something about his personality? >> i couldn't believe it. that's what i'm missing. there's no way i can look at him and see him attached to this. but it happened and it was him. >> reporter: mr. nwadike says his coworker turned mass shooter who lived just down the street behind me in an apartment was excited about the birth of his baby girl. scott, some of the coworkers who

bullets actualal helped to raise money for the shshter and his wife just six months ago to congratulate them on the birth of their baby girl. >> david begnaud reporting. david, thank you. muslims were quick to denounce the massacre. we spoke today with hussam ayloush, the executive director of the consul of american- islamic relations in los angeles. >> as soon as we heard the suspect might be of muslim background, we started witnessing the anti-muslim sentiment and rhetoric. on social media, e-mails and threats. we felt it was important for our fellow americans to know where we stand. we stand together in condemning unequivocally such behavior. coming next, norah o'donnell with a survivor. >> after the 12th body, i stopped counting. >> and later, elaine quijano on

right back. dry spray? that's fun. it's already dry! no wait time. this is great. it's very soft. can i keep it? (laughs) all the care of dove...

back now with norah o'donnell, co-host of "cbs this morning," who has a compelling interview with one of those who survived. norah? >> reporter: scott, timmy hilliard is a social worker at the inland regional center, and he was in his office on the third floor when the shoototg started. as police moved in, hilliard took out his phone and started recording.

stating there was an active shooter. i opened my door, went in the hallway and saw my colleagues running around, screaming, crying. >> reporter: you had a bird's-eyeyeiew of the entrance e and d e exit that the shoors went in. >> correct. >> reporter: what did you see first? >> at first what i saw was a s.w.a.t. team coming into the back door, about five or six, looking for an active shooter. in the back there was a gentleman, deceased d the bench i assume, as well as a female about ten to 15 feetway laying in a pool of blood deceased, as well. >> reporter: you think they were trying to flee and then were shot when they were trying to flee? >> correct. the female i assume, given her positioning and the way she was with her back to the billing, she was fleeing. >> reporter: i think the most disturbing thing is to see them bringing some of the bodies out. how were they doing that? >> they were grabbing as much as they could, arms, feet, they had them in chairs, just trying to get them out of harm's way and

and/or deceaseseand just trying to clear out as much as they could. >> reporter: when did you realize how grave this situation was? >> probably about the sixth body coming out, just seeing the effect of it all. at first i s s the two bodies, okay, two boboes, saying "it's not bad, but it's two bodies, may not be that bad." by the 12th body i stopped counting. >> reporter: you saw 12 bodies? >> at least. >> reporter: when you hear this is now the worst mass shooting since sandy hook, what do you think? >> it's intense. you don't realize what it is until you get out t the situation. >> reporter: what lessons will you take from this? >> so many. don't take anything for granted. i mean, i have a 2 1/2-year-old daughter. sorry. i thought about her. >> reporter: you thought about your daughter? >> yeah. >> reporter: hilliard and other survivors were taken to a church after they were removed from the building, where they were able to reunite with collgues and

and, scott, hilliard says he can't wait to spend more time with his daughter. >> norah o'donnell, thanks. there's other important news tonight, including an historic

tonight after the massacre that left 14 people dead and more than 20 others wounded at an office holiday party. a married couple, syed farook and tashfeen malik, later died in a gun battle with police. and they may have taken the motive for the attack with them to the grave. the couple had amassed an arsenal of guns and bombs in the home they shared with farook's mother. but authorities can find no concrete link to terrorism. and they're discounting the theory that the killings were spurred by a workplace argument. carter evans begins our coverage. >> reporter: the fbibias flown in a special team from washington to re-enact the crime scene and will be analyzing digital evidence to get a better understanding why this married couple opened fire on a crowd of innocent people. [ gunfire ] >> oh, my gosh.

hail of gunfire. when it was over, the two suspects were dead. but police say the couple left behind an arsenal of weapons. 6,700 bullets with 12 pipeombs inside their home and enough materials and tools to build several more according to the san bernardino police chief. chief, do you believe they were planning another attack? >> we don't know. clearly they were equipped and they could have continued to do another attack. we intercepted them before that happened. >> reporter: but police say syed farook and his wife tashfeen malik parked a rented black ford expedition at 11:00 a.m. in the parking lot behind the south building of the inland regional center. they walked through unlocked doors, directly into the room where the holiday party was underway. investigators say the two were wearing masks and black tactical clothing armed with semiautomatic rifles. >> when they entered, fired somewhere between 65 and 75 rounds from their rifles at the

inside the suv, officers found two ar-15 semiautomatic rifles and two nine millimeter pistols along with 1,600 rounds. now initially, police thought a third suspect might still be on the loose, but, scott, today they are confident there is no remaining threat at this time. the fbi won't call this a terrorist attack yet. but it is leading the investigation because the case has some hallmarks of terrorism. officials stress they still don't know the motive. officials tell cbs news syed farook was not on any u.s. watch list, but two law enforcement sources say they have found evidence farook had contact with a person in the u.s. and people overseas with suspected ties to terrorism. investigators are focusing on the extent of those contacts, and whether farook may have been influenced of possibly radicalized. law enforcement sources tell cbs news what they do know so far. farook, a u.s. citizen, born in chicago to pakistani immigrants,

san bernardino, in 2010. he went to work for the local health department, then turned to online dating sites in search of a wife. he found tashfeen malik. they met and became engaged in 2013 when farook made a trip to saududarabia during the annual muslim pilgrimage known as the hajj. farook returned to saudi arabia in july 2014 to bring her to the u.s., and earlier this year, the couple had a baby. the court documents reveal other parts of farook's family life were turbulent. in november 2014, farook's father threatened suicide in front of farook and his brother. last february farook's mother took out a restraining order against his father, saying he was bipolar and abusive. all this is now being looked at by the fbi, which seized computers, thumb drives and other electronic devices and shipped them to washington for analysis. now farook's wife did pass counterterrorism screening as part of her visa application

but scott, until law enforcement determines the true motive in this attack, whether it's terrorism or workplace violence, it's not clear if warning signs were actually y ssed. whether or not authorities determine this massacre was a terrorist act, many believe the u.s. is ill-prepared for a coordinated assault like the one that left 130 people dead in paris. norah o'donnell asked president obama about thisist the white house. >> reporter: the fbi now has active investigations into isis sympathizers in all 50 states. you've had more terrorism related arrests in one year since september, 2001. do you think americans are paris could come here? >> there's no doubt that they are. what i try to do is make sure that peoe understand the threat is real. we have to be vigilant. but we also can't panic and we

we have to make sure that we keep a clear-eyed view about what needs to be done. isil is not going to pose an existential threat to us. they are a dangerous organization like al qaeda was, but we have hardened our defenses. our homeland has never been more protected by intelligence and law enforcement professionals at every level than they are now. the coordination is much better than it is n n. if you look at t t number of successful terrorist attacks that have occurred, you know, we have disrupted a lot of them. but the dangers are still there. so we just have to keep things in perspective. and the american people should feel confident that we're going to be able to dedend ourselves and ke sure that we have a good holiday season and go about

i said this repeatedly overseas. isil only wins if we react out of fear and d art changing how we live, violating our values. they can't win on the battlefield. they can kill some innocent people, b that's not a victory for them if we respond appropriately. >> the "cbs overnight news" will

colleagues in the library of congress to lay out his vision for the party as the presidential election campaign begins to heat up. it was ryan's first major address since picking up the speaker's gavel. here's some of what he had to say. >> so if we want to save the country, if we want to do what we believe in, then we need a mandate from t people. and if we want a mandate, we need to offer ideas. and if we want to offer ideas, then we need to actually have ideas. that's where the house republicans come in. so our number one goal for next year is to put together a complete alternative to the less agenda. [ applause ] this is a work in progress, no doubt. so today, i want to talk basics. i want to talk fundamentals.

to be? i do not presume to speak for all republicans in all particulars. but after giving it a lot of thought, this is what i think a conservative vision looks like. we want america to be confident again. if you don't have a job, we want you to be confident that you can find a job and take it. if you do have a job, we want you to be confident that that job will pay well. we want students to know that all that school and all that debt will be worth it. we want seniors to know that all those years of hard work, all those years of paying taxes will be rewarded. medicare and social security will be there for you wh you need them. we want all americans, when they look at washington, to see

down, debt going down. we want to see progress and we want to have pride. we want people to believe in our future again. we want a country where no one is stuck, where no one settles, where everyone c c rise. and on the world stage, it is no different. we want a confident america. a purposeful america. we want to know we stand for freedom and show it. not with bluster or bravado, but with calm, steady action. we want our military to command respect from our adversaries and to inspire confidence from our allies. and when they come home, we want to give our veterans the care they deserve. >> before delivering his speech, ryan appeared on "cbs this morning." charlie and gail asksk about his views on the massacre in san bernardino. >> the community is grieving and the nation is asking questions about why and how do we stop

you on that. but why don't you, after you make your speech today, call the president and say i'm going to come down pennsylvania avenue. let's you and i start off and do something about this right now. i'm speaker of the house, you're president. you're in your fourth quarter and i'm in the beginning of my job as speaker. >> well, first, charlie, this is just a horrible event. my stomach turns like any american when they s s this violence and you can't help but yell at the tv and say what can we do to prevent this from happening? so obviously we're thinking of those things. this particular shooting in san bernardino, there's just too much unknowns before we speculate about the origin of this one. but what we have seen, and a common theme among many of these mass shootings, is the theme of mental illness. we need to fix our mental illness laws and policies. they're outdated. that is something wewee working on r rht now. we are moving a bill through the

we think that's one of the more common themes, which people with mental illness are getting guns and conducting mass shootings. without knowing the facts in san bernardino, we also know that there are homegrown jihadists, we also know that there are isis inspirational events. and we need to figure out how to handle that, as well. so there are multiple things we are working on those that need to be addressed. including whether someone is coming here and inspiring someone to do these things becacae of idealogical or religious reasons, or the mental health reasons. which we know is a common theme among these shootings. >> mr. speaker, i suspect a lot of people would agree with you on that. but here's what the president said and the reason i suggested there might be a conversation between you and the president. he said, we have a no-fly list where people can't be on planes, but these same people who we do not allow to fly could get into a store right now in the united

there's nothing we can do to stop them. >> well, on this particular issue, we do havava constitutiti. citizens have a due process right. anyone can just be arbitrarily placed upon the no-fly list. bit. people have been placed on the process. so when we rususto act on these things, let's make sure we act accordingly, according to citizen's rights, the constitution and make sure what we do solves these problems. that is why we need to take a pause and see what's happening. this is why we're working on mental healtltalready. so with respect to the no-flfl list, it's very important to remember people have due process rights in this country, and we can't have some government official just arbitrarily put them on a list. if someone is suspected of terrorism, if someone in this country is planning a terrorist attack, we should arrest them.

be dealt with by law enforcement in a more pronounced position than maybe banning due process lists on a no-fly list. if we think someone is going to commit a terrorist attack, we should pick them up. >> we all hear you, mr. speaker. but many people have said, we know how this story is going to go. we'll hear the stories of the heroes that survived, the stories about the victims and the stories about the shooters. >> and then nothing gets done. >> that's right, nothing changes. surely there can be something that can stop people from getting g ak-47. in this particular case in san bernardino, it's being reported that two of the weapons this country. what is it going to take to move the needle in congress is the frustration? say, gail. whatate're trying to do is find out the factctand make sure what our response is addresses the problems without infringing upon the rights of law-abiding citizens. that's the key here. >> but it keeps happening.

rights to be protected. and again, gail, one of the common things, thihiis why we're serious about ououmental health gislation. a lot of these people are getting guns who are mentally unstable who should not be getting guns. and this is a gap in the laws that we feel needs to be filled. if you're not outrtred when y y turn on thev and s s these wrong with you. gail. don't violate a person's rights, if they'xe a law-abiding citizen. >> can i just say this to you? four or more victims. according to shootingtracker.com, since january, there have been at least 354 mass shootings in this country. you must be frustrated, as well. >> i am, gail. that's why -- i don't want to keep saying the same thing over and over, but one of the things we noticed, there are mental health isssss here. we haven't fixed these laws in years. they're discombobulated. the laws don't make sense and

guns, who are clinically diagnosed with mental illness are slipping through the cracks and the system and we need to patch that. then we need to make sure that criminals don't get guns. we node to -- need to enforce those laws. >> mr. speaker, how urgent is it, and what does it require to make sure hat people will not be facing the same situation a month now? >> we're receiving resistance from the mental health bill right now. >> you talk to the president and he'll talk to you about his own concerns about who is allowed to get what kind of guns. >> by the way, that's part of the mental health bill. that's part of the discussion surrounding the bill, which is who gege guns, but we have t t make sure that in our rush to do something, we don't violate a person's individual rights in this country. i don't think the country is headed in the right direction. i believe we're on the wrong

i believe that we are at risk of severing this leggy of leaving the next generation better off. we're on track of doing that. if we don't like the direction the down trip is headed, then we can't just be an opposition party yelling no, we have to be a proposition papay and show people what our ideas are. so we need to be big, bold, we need to be specific. in 2016, we have an obligation to give the people of this can choose what direction the country goes. that's what i'm going to lay out today, which is we are an opposition p pty, yes, but here's'sow we become a proposition party and here's how we give thchoice to the people of this country so they can decide the direction of this country, in a whole range of things. poverty, economic growth, upwpwd mobility, affordable health care.. we have to say t tthe country, here is a better way forward. and if you agree with us, and you choose us to lead, then we

we need a mandate, and we need to offer people a choice that's the kind of vision i'm going to lay out this afternoon. >> when will you talk to the president? >> i talk to the president fairly regularly. i don't know. i call him sometimes, he calls me setimes. i don't have something marked on my calendar. >> the "cbs overnight news" will be right back. phil! oh no...

year-long investigation by the house oversight committee. and it focused on four significant security breaches, including a september 2014 incident when the secret service didn't vet armed security guards who were standing very close to the president when he visited the cdc. and a march 2015 incident in which two possibly drunk officers interfered with a crime scene surrououing a threatened bomb outside the w wte house grouous. all of this comes in the wake of a series of high profile scandals and incidents that have driven morale at the secret service to an all-time low. we contacted the secret service this morning, but so farther not commenting on these w revelations.

no word how the drugs got there and there have been no arrests. most of the cocaine comes to the u.s. along the pacific coast, and the coast guard is making some big busts on the high seas. carter evans reports. >> reporter: the coast guard just delivered more than 25 tons of confiscated cocaine to dea ents waiting here on shore. the head of the agency told us if he had additional ships available, he could intercept even more. we traveled by boat to the coast guard cutter, seven miles off the coast of san diego. on board, we found dozens of palates piled gh with 50,000 pounds of cocaine. the coast guard spcnt the last three months chasing down drug smuggling boats off the coast of central and south america, include thing makeshift submarine. the boarding team pried open the hatctcand found more than n 00 million of cocainenetashed inside.

that same kilo sells for $25,000 here in the united states. >> reporter: when the smugglers are caught, the coast guard says they rarela put up a fight and so far they've arrested nearly 700 of them. well, most of the cocaine and smugglers are going to be prosecuted here in the u u. as for the cocaine, some is going to be kept for evidence. the rest will be incinerated at a secret location. >> that's the "overnight news" for this friday. for some of you the news continues. for others check back later for the morning news and "cbs this morning." the san bernardino killers turned their home into an arsenal. >> they could have continued to do another attack. >> police discover 13 bombs as

of gunfire. [ sirens blaring ] when it was over, the two suspects were dead. police say the couple left behind an arsenal of weapons, 6,700 bullets inside their home along with 12 pipe bombs and enough materials and tools to build several more, according to san bernardino police chief jarrod burguan. chief, do you believe they were planning another attack? >> we don't know. clearly they were equipped and they could have continued to do another attack. we intercepted them before that happened.. >> reporter: but p pice say syed farook and his wife tashfeen malik parked a rented black ford expedition at 11:00 a.m. in the parking lot behind the south building of the inland regional center. they walked through unlocked doors, directly into the room where the holiday party was underway. investigators say the two were wearing masks and black tactical clothing armed with semi- automatic rifles. >> when they entered, fired somewhere between 65 and 75

scene. >> reporter: did they appear to be targeting anyone in particular? >> they sprayed the room with bullets. i don't know there was any one person they ultimately targeted. >> reporter: but sources tell cbs news health department managers were the first ones shot. the couple left behind three pipe bombs tied together and connected to a remote control car. police believe it malfunctioned. there was no explosion. witnesses who worked with farook told police he attended the party but left early. >> where that came from was another person that was in the building that knew him that identified him by name expressed some concern over his behavior prior to the event. >> reporter: police put his home under surveillance a a gave chase when they spotted the black suv. cell phone video captured the gunfire that erupted. >> holy [bleep]. >> reporter: the couple fired at least 75 rounds at police, a total of 23 officers returned fire with 380 rounds, killing farook and his wife.

found two ar-15 semi-automatic rifles and two nine millimeter pistols along with 1,600 rounds. now initially, police thought a third suspect might still be on the loose, but, scott, today they are confident there is no remaining threat at this time. >> carter evans, thanks. so what was the motive? our chief legal correspondent jaj crawford is following that part of the investigation. jan? >> reporter: well, scott, the fbi won't call this a terrorist attack yet, but it is leading the investigation because the case has some hallmarks of terrorism. officials strere they still don't know the motive. officials tell cbs news syed farook was not on any u.s. watch list, but two law enforcement sources say they have found evidence farook had contact with a person in the u.s. and people overseas with suspected ties to terrorism. investstators are focusing o o the extent of those contacts and whether farook may havbeen influenced or possibly

law enforcement sources tell cbs news what they do know so far: farook, a u.s. citizen, born in chicago to pakistani immigrants, graduated from california state san bernardino in 2010. he went to work for the local health department and then turned to online dating sites in search of a wife. he found tashfeen malik. they met and became engaged in 2013 when farook made a trip to saudi arabia during the annual muslim pilgrimage known as the hajj. farook returned to saudi arabia in july 2014 to bring her to the u.s., and earlier this year, the couple had a baby. the court documents reveal other parts of farook's family life were turbulent. in november 2014, farookok father threatened suicide in front of farook and s brother. last february farook's mother took out a restraining order against his father, saying he was bipolar and abusive. all this is now being looked at by the f.b.i., which seized

other electronic devices and shipped them to wawaington for analalis. now farook's wife did pass counterterrorism screening as part of her visa application process. but scott, until law enforcement determines the true motive in this attack, whether it's terrorism or workplace violence, it's not clear if warning signs were actually missed. >> jan, thank yoyo ten victims remain in two hospitals. two of them are in critical condition. john blackstone spoke with some of the families. >> reporter: jennifer stevens, 22, who graduated this summer and took a job with the san bernararno countyy health department. >> it's devastating. >> reporter: lisa stevens is jennifer's mother, who got the kind of phone call every parent dreads. >> she said, mommy, i've been shot and it was about four hours later she typed she was okay. >> reporter: jennifer was okay. >> she said i saw people die.

farook's wife came into the united states on a visa

norah o'donnell, co-host of "cbs this morning," spoke to the lead investigators in san bernardino. norah? >> reporter: scott, she was the most unlikely accomplice, a 27- year-old mother with an infant at home, and now involved in one of the deadliest mass shootings. authorities say tashfeen malik was clad entirely in black tactical gear. her face was obscured by a ski mask. along with her husband, syed farook, they fired 65 to 75 rounds in the inland regional center before fleeing in a black suv. once the car was surrounded, police chief jarrod burguan says she fired out of the back, taking aim at law enenrcement. what do you know about her? was she shooting as much as she was? >> she was engaged in a gun battle with our police officers, the scene, so, yes, she fired rounds. >> reporter: she fired rounds? >> how many she fired versus

ow that for sure. >> there's one guy down. there's one guy in the back of a car. >> reporter: i can't get my head around the fact that a 27-year-old mother of a 6-month-old is firing off as many rounds like she is. >> i think the entire event doesn't make a whole lot of sense to be honest with you, and it's kind of hard to wrap your head around why anybody would do anything like this regardless of who they are. >> reporter: authorities know little about tashfeen malik. she was not an american citizen but was here on a k1 visa accordrdg to fbi special agent davivibowdich. >> she was here on a pakistani passport. >> reporter: she's here on pakistani passport? >> correct. reporter: isn't it highly unusual to have a mother of a 6-month-old, engaged in a shootout? >> i would think it's unusual. >> reporter: scott, police say she had no criminal record and was not on any terrorist watch list. >> norah o'donnell, thanks. now, with some insight into all of this, we turn to michael

contributor. michael, we now know that farook went to saudi arabia twice, went to pakistan once, was in the fbi was watching for being islamic extremists. >> right. >> what does that add up to? >> what it adds up to me is this was a guy who was probably radicalized by either isis or al qaeda, a guy, given the amount of weapons and explosives that he had, thatate was planning something significant. actually saw? >> perhaps. perhaps. he obviously didn't take all of what he had. so either it was going to be a series of events or he was planning something bigger and this took its place because of the office anger that he had. >> a dozen pipe bombs left behind in his home. >> exactly. >> does it matter anymore whether these things are inspired by extremists or directed by extremists? >> scott, i think it matters a lot.

usually talking about t e or two people and the number of casualties is limited. it's a relatively small number. when it's directed, you have the potential for much more. when it's directed, you have the potential for multiple operatives, simultaneous attacks, killing much, much larger number of people, like pariri >> just like paris. michael morrell, former number two tat cia. miael, thanks as always. was farook radicalized? our david begnaud spoke with a coworker who narrowly missed the shooting. >> reporter: a san bernardino health worker christian nwadike says he and four other men were in the restroom when first shots were fired. >> so when the blast came in, i was thinking, well, this might be life or dead. >> reporter: you thought you might die? >> yes. stroroly. >> r rorter: how long did you lie on the floor?

as you were lying on the floor? >> there were cries. there were shots. >> reporter: nwadike, who is originally from nigeria, sat in a cubicle next to syed farook for five years. >> when he came back from saudi arabia, he started growing beard. that was the change. >> reporter: do you believe he was radicalized? >> yes. >> reporter: was he ever violent? >> no. >> reporter: was he ever rude? >> no. never. >> reporter: was he e lkative? >> he rarely talks. >> reporter: do you feel like you missed something about his personality? >> i couldn't believe it. that's what i'm missing. there's no way i can look at him and see him attached to this. but t happened and it wasasim. >> reporter: mr. nwadike says his coworker turned mass shooter behind me in an apartment was excited about the birth of his baby girl.

had to dodge the shooters' bullets actually helped to raise money for the shooter and his wife just six months ago to congratulate them on the birth of their baby girl. >> david begnaud reporting. david, thank you. muslims were quick to denounce the massacre. we spoke today with hussam ayloush, the executive director of the consul of american- islamic relations in los angeles. >> as soon as we heard the suspect might be of muslim background, we started witnessing the anti-muslim sentiment and rhetoric. we felt it was important for our fellow americans to know where we stand. we stand together in condemning unequivocally such behavior. coming next, norah o'donnell with a survivor.

stating there was an active e shooter. i opened my door, went in the hallway and saw my colleagues running around, screaming, crying. >> reporter: you had a bird's-eye view of the entrance and the exit that the shooters went in. >> correct. >> reporter: what did you see first? >> at first what i saw was a s.w.a.t. team coming into the back door, about five or six, looking for an active shooter. in t back there was a gentleman, deceased on the bench i assume, as well as a female in a pool of blood deceased, as well. >> reporter: you think they were shot when they were trying to flee? >> correct. positioning and the way she was with her back to the billing, she was fleeing. >> reporter: i think the most disturbing thing is to see them bringing some of the bodies out. how were they doing that? >> they were grabbing as much as they could, arms, feet, they had them in chairs, just trying to get them out of harm's way and

and/or deceased and just trying to clear out as much as they could. >> reporter: when did you realize how grave this situation was? >> probably about the sixth body coming out, just seeing the effect of it all. at first i saw the two bodies, okay, two bodies, saying "it's not bad, but it's two bodies, may not be that bad." by the 12th body i stopped counting. >> reporter: you saw 12 bodies? >> at least. >> reporter: when you hear this is now the worst mass shooting since sandy y ok, what do you think? >> it's intense. you don't realize what it is until you get out of the situion. >> reporter: what lessons will you take from this? >> so many. don't take anything for granted. i mean, i h he a 2 1/2-year-old sorry. i thought about her. >> reporter: you thought about your daegter? >> yeah. survivors were taken to a church after they were removed from the to reunite with colleagues and loved ones.

inside the suv, officers found two ar-15 semi-automatic rifles and two nine millimeter pistols along with 1,600 rounds. now initially, police thought a third suspect might still be on the loose, but, scott, today they are confident there is no remaining threat at this time. the fbi won't call this a terrorist attack yet. but it is leading the investigation because the case has some hallmarks of terrorism. officials stress they still don't know the motive. officials tell cbs news syed farook was not on any u.s. watch list, but two law enforcement sources say they have found evidence farook haha contactctith overseas with suspected ties to terrorism. investigators are focusing on the extent of those contacts, and whether farook may have been influenced of possibly radicalized. law enforcement sources tell cbs news what they do know so far. farookoka u.s. citizen, born in

graduated from california state, san bernardino, in 2010. he went to work for the loekcal health department, then turned to dating g tes in search of a wife. he found tashfeen malik. they met and became engaged in 2013 when farook made a trip to saudi arabia during the annual muslim pilgrimage known as the hajj. farook returned to saudi arabia in july 2014 to bring her to the u.s., and earlier this year, the couple had a baby. the court documents reveal other parts of farook's family life were turbulent. in november 2014, farook's father threatened suicide in front of farook and his brother. last february farook's mother took out a restraining order against his father, saying he was bipolar and abusive. all this is now being looked at fwi by the fbi, which seized computers, thumb drives and other electronic devices and shipped them to washington for alysis. now farook's wife did pass counterterrorism screening as part of her visa application process.

determines the true motive in this attack, whether it's terrorism or workplace violence, it's'sot clear if warning signs were actually missed. whether or not authorities determine thi massacre was a terrorist act, many believe the u.s. is ill-prepared for a coordinated assault like the one that left 130 people dead in paris. norah o'donnell asked p psident obama about this at the white house. >> reporter: the fbi now has active investigations into isis sympathizers in all 50 states. you've had more terrorism related arrests in one year since september, 2001. do you think americansnsre living in a bit ofear that paris could come here? >> there's no doubt that they are. what i try to do is make sure threat is real. we have to be vigilant.

n't respond out of fear. we have to make sure that we keep a clear view about what needs to be done. isil is not going to pose an xe ten shall threat to us. they are a dangerous organization like alalaeda was, but we have hardened our defenses. our homeland has never been more protected by intelligence and law enforcement professionals than they are now. the coordination is much better than it is now. if you look at the number of successful terrorist attacks that have occurred, you know, we have disrupted a lot of them. but the dangers are still there. so we just have to keep things in perspective. and the american people should feel confident that we're goingng to be able to defend ourselves and make sure that we have a good holiday season and go about

i said this repeatedly overseas. isil only wins if we react out of fear and start changing how we live, violating our values. they can't win on the battlefield. they can kill some innocent people, but that's not a victory for them if we respond appropriately. >> the "cbs overnight news" will be right back. olay regenerist renews from within, plumping surface cells for a dramatic transformation without the need for fillers

house speaker paul ryan gathered his republican

congress to lay out his vision for the party as the presidential election campaign begins to heat up. it was ryan's first major address since picking up the speaker's gavel. here's some of what he had to say. >> so if we want to save the country, if we want to do what we believe in, then we need a mandate from the people. anddf we want a mandate, we need to offer ideas. and if we want to offer ideas, then we need to actually have ideas. that's where the house republicans come in. so our number one goal for next yeye is to put together a agenda. [ applause ] doubt. so today, i want to talk basics. i want to talk fundamentals.

to be? i do not presume to speak for all republicans in all particulars. but after giving it a lot of thought, this is what i think a conservative vision looks like. we want america to be confident again. if you don't have a job, we want you to be confident that you can find a job and take it. if you do have a job, we want you to be confident that that job will pay well. we want students to know that all that school and all that debt will be worth it. we want seniors to know that all those yeyrs of hard work, all those years of paying taxes will be rewarded. medicare and social security will be there for you when you need them. we want all americans, when they look at washington, to see spending going down, taxes going down, debt going down.

want to have pride. we want people to believe in our future again. we want a country where no one is stuck, where no one settles, where everyoyo can rise. and on the world stage, it is no different. we want a confident america. a purposeful america. we want to know we stand for freedom and show it. not w wh bluster or bravado, but with calm, steady action. we want our military to command respect from our adversaries and to inspire confidence from our allies. and when they come home, we want to give our veterans the care they deserve. >> before delivering his speech, ryan appeared on "cbs this morning." charlie and gail asked about his views on the massacre in san bernardino. >> the community is grieving and

about why and howowo we stop this and we want to hear from you on that. but why don't you call the president and say i'm going to come down pennsylvania avenue. let's you and i start off and do something about this right now. i'm speaker of the house, you're president. you're in your fourth quarterer anani'm in the beginningngf my job as speaker. >> well, first, charlie, this is just a horrible event. my stomach turns like any american when you see this violence and you can't help but yell at the tv and say what can we do to prevent this from happening? this particular shooting in san bernardino, there's just too much unknowns before we speculate about the origin of this one. but what we have seen, and a common theme among many of these mass shootings, is the theme of mental illness. we need to fix our mental

we are moving a bill, the murphy legislation. we think that's one of the more common themes, which people with mental illness are getting guns and conducting mass shootings. without knowing the facts in san bernardino, we also know thaha there are homegrown jihadists, there are isis inspirational events. and we need to figure out how to handle that, as well. so there are multiple things that need to be addressed, and we are working on those that need to be addressed. includinghether someone is coming here and inspiring someone to do these things because of idealogical or religious reasons, or the mental health reasons. >> mr. speaker, i suspect a lot of people would agree with you on that. but here's what the president said and the reason i suggested there might be a conversatioio between you two. he said, we have a no-fly list where people can't be on planes, but these same people who we do not allow to fly could get into

states and buy a firearm and there's nothing we can do to stop them. >> well, on this particular issue, we do have a constitution. right. anyone can just be arbitrarily placed upon the no-fly list. that's happened quite a bit. people have been placed on the list mistakenly, innocently. so when we rush to act on these things, let's make sure we act accordingly, according to citizen's rights, the constitution and make sure what we do solves these problems. that is why we need to take a pause and see what's happening. so with respect to the no-fly list, it's very important to remember people have due process rights in this country, and we can't have some government official just arbitrarily put them on a list. if someone is suspected of terrorism, if someone in this country is planning a terrorist attack, we should arrest them.

be dealt w wh by law enforcement in a more pronounced position than maybe banning due process lists on a no-fly list. >> we all hear you, mr. speaker. but many people have said, we know how this story is going to go. we'll hear the storiesf the roes that survived, the stories about the victims and the shooters. >> and then nothing gets done. >> that's right, nothing changes. surely there can be something that can stop people from getting an ak-47. it's being reported that two off the weapons recovered were bought legalal in this country. what is it going to take to move the needle in congress is the frusation? >> that's what i'm trying to say. what we're trying to do is find out the facts and make sure what our response is addresses the problems without infringing upon the rights of law-abiding citizens. that's the key here.

>> citizens have rights to be protected. and again, gail, one of the common things, this is why we're serious about our mental health legislation. a lot of these people are getting guns who are mentally unstable who should not be getting guns. and this is a gap in the laws that we feel needs to be filled. we just want to get it right, gail. and we want to make sure that we don't violate a person's rights, if they're a law-abiding citizen. >> can i just say this to you? a mass shooting is described as four or more victims. according to shootingtracker.com, since january, there have been at least 354 mass shootings in this country. you must be frustrated, as well. >> i am, gail. that's why -- i don't want to keep saying the same thing over and over, but one of the things we noticed, there are mental health issues here.

people who should not be getting guns, who are clinically diagnosed with mental illness are slipping through the tracks. then we need to make sure that criminals don't get guns. >> mr. speaker, how urgent is it, and what does it require to make sure that peoplpl w wlot be facing the same situation a month now? >> we're receiving resistance from the mental health billion right -- health bill right now. >> who is allowed to get what kind of guns? >> by the way, that's part of the mental health bill. that's part of the discussion surrounding the bill, which is who gets guns, but we have to make sure that in our rush to do something, we don't violate a person's individual rights in this country. i don't think the country is headed in the right direction.

i believe that we are at risk of sever thing legacy of leaving the generation better off. if we don't like the direction the down trip is headed, then we can't just be an opposition party yelling no, we have t tbe a proposition party and show people what our ideas are. so we need to be big, bold, we need to be specific. in 2016, we have an obligation to give the people of this country the choice so that they can choose what direction the country goes. that's what i'm going to lay out today, which is we are an opposition party, yes, but here's how we become a proposition party and here's how we give the choice to the people of this country so they can decide the direction of this country, in a whole range of things. we have to say to the country, here is a better way forward. and if you agree with us, and you choose us to lead, then we

we need a mandate, and we need to offer people a choice that's the kind of vision i'm going to lay out this afternoon. >> when will you talk to the president? >> i talk to the president fairly regularly. i call him sometimes, he calls

i don't have s [cough, cough] mike? janet? cough if you can hear me. don't even think about it. i took mucinex dm for my phlegmy cough. yeah...but what about mike? he has that dry scratchy thing going on. guess what? it works on his cough too. cough! guess what? it works on his cough too. what? stop! don't pull me! spoiler alert! she doesn't make it! only mucinex dm relieves bothwet and dry coughs for 12 hours with two medicines in one pill. start the relief. ditch the misery. let's end this. congress released the

into the secret service. it describes an agency in crisis, and documents a string of disturbing incidents involving the president and the first family. margaret brennan reports from the white house. >> reporter: while the u.s. secret service is an agency in crisis, hit by budget cutbacks, leadership failures, and overworked officers, according to a new report that will be released by congressional investigators later today, and it details 143 different incidents, security breaches, or attempted ones over the past decade. it also shares some new previously undisclosed details, including a breach last fall when a fan pretending to be a member of congress, slipped backstage without being screened, and then walked up and spoke with president obama. investigators say the root of these problems and the greatest threat to the secret service right now is simply a staffing crisis. the critical report, which was

result of a bipartisan, year-long investigation by the house oversight committee. and it focused on four significant security breaches, including a september 2014 incident when the secret service didn't vet armed security guards who were standing very close to the president when he visited the cdc. and a march 2015 incident in which two possibly drunk officers interfered with a crime scene surrounding a threatened bomb outside the white house grounds. all of this comes in the wake of a series of high profile scandals and incidents that have driven morale at the secret service to an all-time low. we contacted the secret service this morning, but so farther not comm embarrassed by a prostate exam? imagine how your doctor feels. as a urologist, i have performed 9,421 and a half prostate exams. so why do i do it? because i get paid. und... on this side of the glove i know prostate exams can save lives.

to see if a prostate exam is right for you. if we can do it, so can you.

inside. laura collins is captain of the coast guard cutter. what is it like when you get that intel and all of a sudden you get eyes on one of those semi submersibles? >> it's thrilling. it's exactly what we're trained for. it's kind of like everything coming together. >> reporter: this video from the coast guard shows the cramped quarters inside a drug sub. every space is packed with as much cocaine as possible. this is what three quarters of a billion dollars worth of cocaine looks like. that's just wholesale value. on the street, it's worth a lot more. it's been a record year for the coast guard, working with the military and u.s. customs, they've seized more cocaine in the pacific than the last three years combined. the reason it's smuggled is simple economics. >> when we look at the business case of what it takes to produce at one kilo of cocaine.

that same kilo sells for $25,000 here in the united states. >> reporter: when the smugglers are caught, the coast guard says they rarely put up a fight and so far they've arrested nearly 700 of them. well, most of the cocaine and smugglers are going to be prosecuted here in the u.s. as for the cocaine, some is going to be kept for evidence. the rest will be incinerated at a secret location. for this friday. continues. for others check back later for morning." from the broadcast center in new york city, i'm anna warner. the san bernardino killers turned their home into an arsenal. >> they could have continued to do another attack. >> police discover 13 bombs as

[ gunfire ]

>> reporter: the rampage ended on a residential street in a hail of gunfire.

news what they do know so far: farook, a u.s. citizen, born in chicago to pakistani immigrants, graduated from california state san bernardino in 2010. he went to work for the local health department and then turned to online dating sites in search of a wife. he found tashfeen malik. they met and became engaged in 2013 when farook made a trip to saudi arabia durininthe annual muslim pilgrimage known as the hajj. farook returned to saudi arabia in july 2014 to bring her to the u.s., and earlier this year, the couple had a baby. the court documents reveal other parts of farook's family life were turbulent. in november 2014, farook's father threatened suicididin front of farook and his brother. last february farook's mother took out a restraining order against his father, saying he was bipolar and abusive. all this is now being looked at by the fbi, which seized computers, thumb drives and

shipped them to washington for now farook'sife did pass counterterrorism screening as part of her visa application process. but scott, until law enforcement determines the true motive in this attack, whether it's terrorism or workplace violence, it's not clear if warning signs were actually missed. >> jan, thank you. ten victims remain in two hospitals. two of them are in critical condition. john blackstone spoke with some of the families. >> reporter: jennifer stevens, 2 2, who graduated this summer, and took a job with the san bernardino county health departmeme. >> it's dedestating. >> reporter: lisa stevens is jennifer's mothehe who got the kind of phone call every parent dreads. >> she said, mommy, i've been shot and they took the phone from her. it was about four hours later she texted me, i'm okay.

this morning," spoke to the lead investigators in san bernardino. norah? >> reporter: scott, she was the most unlikely accomplice, a 27- year-old mother with an infant at home, and now involved in one of the deadliest mass shootings. authorities s y tashfeen malik was clad entirely in black tactical gear. her face was obscured by a ski mask. along with her husband, syed farook, they fired 65 to 75 rounds in the inland regional center before fleeing in a black suv. ce the car was surroroded, police chief j jrod burguan says she fired out of the back, taking aim at law enforcement. what do you know about her? was she shooting as much as she was? >> she was engaged in a gun battle with our police officers, and there were two shooters at the scene, so, yes, she fired rounds. >> reporter: she f fed rounds? how many she fired d rsus him, i don't know. she fired at our officers, i

>> there's one guy down. there's one guy in the back of a car. >> reporter: i can't get my head around the fact that a 27-year-old mother of a 6-month-old is firing off as many rounds like she is. >> i think the entire event doesn't make a whole lot of sense to be honest with you, and it's kind of hard to wrap your head around why anybody would do anything like this regardless of who they are. >> reporter: authorities know little about tashfeen malik. she was not an american citizen but was here on a k1 visa according to fbi special agent davivibowdich. >> she was here on a pakistani passport. >> reporter: she's here on pakistani passport? >> correct. >> reporter: isn't it highly unusual to have a mother of a 6-month-old, engaged in a shootout? >> i would think it's unusual. >> reporter: scott, police say she had no criminal record and was not on any terrorist watch list. >> norah o'donnell, thanks. now, with some insight into all of this, we turn to michael morrell, former number two at

contributor. michael, we now know that farook went to saudi arabia twice, went to pakistan once, was in communications with people that the fbi was watching for being islamic extremists. >> right. >> what does that add up to? >> what it adds up to me is this was a guy who was probably radicalized by either isis or al qaeda, a guy, given the amount of weapons and explosives that he had, that he was planning something significant. >> something bigger than what we actually saw? >> perhaps. perhaps. he obviously didn't take all of what he had. so either it was going to be a series of events or he was planning something bigger and this took its place because of the office angng that he had. >> a dozen pipe bombs left behind in his home. >> exactly. >> does it matter anymore whether these things are inspired by extremists or directed by extremists? >> scott, i think it matters a lot.

usually talking about one or two people and t t number of casualties is lilited. it's a relatively small number. when it's directed, you have the potential for much more. when it's directed, you have the potential for multiple operatives, simultaneous attacks, killing much, much larger number of people, like paris. >> just like paris. michael morrell, former number two at the cia. michael, thanks as always. was farook radicalized? our david begnaud spoke with a coworker who narrowly missed the shooting. >> reporter: a san bernardino health worker christian nwadike says he and four other men were in the restroom when first shots were fireded >> so when the blast came in, i lost every feeling. i thought, this might be life or death. >> reporter: you thought you might die? >> yes. strongly. >> reporter: how long did you

>> i would say ten minutes. >> reporter: what could you hear as you were lying on the floor? >> there were cries. there were shots. >> reporter: nwadike, who is originally from nigeria, sat in a cubicle next to syed farook for five years. >> when he came back from saudi arabia, he started growing beard. that was the changng >> reporter: do you believe he was radicalized? >> yes. >> reporter: was he ever violent? >> no. >> reporter: was he ever rude? >> never. >> reporter: was he talkative? >> he rarely talks. >> reporter: do you feel like you missed something about his personality? >> i iouldn't believe it.. that's what i'm missing. there's no way i can look at him and see him attached to this. but it happened and it was him. >> reporter: mr. nwadike says his coworker turned mass shooter who lived juju down the street bebend me in an apartment was excited about the birth of his baby girl. scott, some of the coworkers who

bullets actually helped to raise money for the shooter and his wife just six months ago to congratulate them on the birth of their baby girl. >> david begnaud reporting. david, thank you. muslims were quick to denouncece the mamaacre. we spoke today with hussam ayloush, the executive director of the consul of american- angeles. >> as soon as we heard the suspect might be of muslim background, we started witnessing the anti-mumuim ntiment and rhetoric. on social media, e-mails and we felt it was important for our fellow americans to know where we stand. we stand together in condemning unequivocally such behavior. coming next, norah o'donnell with a survivor. >> after the 12th body, i stopped counting. what to say to our children.

dry spray? that's fun. it's already dry! no wait time. this is great. it's very soft. can i keep it? (laughs) all the care of dove...

back now with norah o'donnell, co-host of "cbs this morning," who has a compelling interview with one of those who survived. norah? >> reporter: scott, timmy hilliard is a social worker at the inland regional center, and he was in his office on the third floor when the shooting started. as police moved in, hilliard took out his phone and started recording. >> i got a text from a colleague

shooter. i opened my door, went in the hallway and saw my colleagues running around, screaming, crying. >> reporter: yououad a bird's-eyeyeiew of the entrance e and the exit that the shooters went in. >> correct. >> reporter: what did you see first? >> at first what i saw was a s.w.a.t. team coming into the back door, about five or six, looking for an active shooter. in the back there was a gentleman, deceased d the bench i asasme, as well as a female about ten to 15 feet away laying in a pool of blood deceased, as well. >> reporter: you think they were trying to flee and then were shot when they were trying to flee? >> correct. the female i assume, given her positioning and the way she was with her back to the billing, she was fleeing. >> reporter: i think the most disturbing thing is to see thehe brbrging some of the bodies out. how were they doing that? >> they were grabbing as much as they could, arms, feet, they had them in chairs, just trying to get them out of harm's way and

to clear out as much as they could. >> reporter: when did you realize how grave this situation was? >> probably about the sixth body coming out, just seeing the effect of it all. at first i saw the two bodies, okay, two bodies, saying "it's not bad, but it's two bodies, may not be that bad." by the 12th body i stopped counting. >> reporter: you saw 12 bodidi? >> at least. reporter: when you hear this is now the worst mass shooting since sandy hook, what do you think? >> it's intense. you don't realize what it is until you get out of the situation. >> reporter: what lessons will you take from this? >> so many. don't take anything for granted. i mean, i have a 2 1/2-year-old dauguger. sorry. i thought about her. >> reporter: you thought about your daughter? >> yeah. >> reporter: hilliard and other survivors were taken to a church after they were removed from the building, where they were able to reunite with colleagues and loved ones.
