>> we gun with breaking news. just minutes ago, a major change in the scope of the investigation into the san bernardino shootings. >> as of today, based on the information and the facts as we know them, we are now investigating these horrific acts as an act of terrorism. we have also uncovered evidence that these subjects attempted to destroy their digital fingerprint. we found cell phones in a nearby trash can. they were crushed. we have retained them and we do continue to exploit the data from those cell phones. we do hope that the digital fingerprints that were left by these two individuals will take us towards their motivation. >> cbs reporter chris martinez is live in san bernardino with the first of several developments revealed this morning. chris.
12:02 pm
>> reporter: michelle, something else they are taking a close look at now is a facebook post. they say the female suspect here put it online before the attack. they say tashfeen malik under a different name posted on facebook her allegiance to the isis leader and then it was taken down. that's part of new information and evidence we are learning about today that points to the potential ties between the suspects and terrorism and the question remains, were they planning other attacks? cbs news confirms that shooting suspect tashfeen malik pledged her allegiance to isis on facebook. >> based on the information and the facts as we know them, we are now investigating these horrific acts as an act of terrorism. >> malik and her husband, syed rizwan farook, are accused of the deadly rampage this week in san bernardino. the couple's relatives say the massacre caught them by surprise. >> it's just mind-boggling why

12:04 pm
conference a few moments ago. in terms of connecting these suspects with terrorism, as they said, at least one of them it some sort of phone conversation or conversations with either a person or people that they, the fbi, had been investigating here in the u.s. that could have ties to terrorism. so a lot of dots here left to connect but the fbi says that there are a lot of reasons why at this point they are now officially investigating this as an act of terrorism. we hope as this investigation goes on we'll learn more about that. frank and michelle, back to you. >> chris, is there any indication as to where the two may have learned how to handle these explosives and firearms? >> reporter: we have sources that say they believe that both of these suspects had training outside potentially of the u.s. in terms of, um, the use of firearms and explosives. and they are also very closely looking at those pipe bombs that were found at the house, 12 of them under construction, four of them fully made. they say they look just like a bomb that is shown in an online
12:05 pm
al qaeda magazine and that magazine shows you how to build it yourself. so they are now wondering if perhaps that could be the source for those bombs and if not that, they are wondering exactly where they learned to put these together. some of them using household items like christmas lights and remote control toys. >> chris martinez live in san bernardino, thank you. in a bizarre scene the apartment where the killers plotted their massacre it was open to the media this morning. the landlord took down the boards, sealing that apartment door this morning. david begnaud takes us on a tour. >> reporter: we are inside the apartment where we are told the shooters lived. the male shooter's mother also lived here. this is the bathroom. there are pictures in here so we don't want to show the pictures just yet. we have four people who live here three adults and a child. let's go back downstairs. there is a piece -- you'll see when we come down it looks like the actual door that they ripped off when they came in is

before wednesday's mass shooting. they deal mainly with the safe storage of guns and city leaders also want to ban gun clips that can hold more than 10 rounds. >> basically standard issue equipment for our police officers. this is also a handgun magazine that holds 30 rounds. >> reporter: oakland's police chief shows what kinds of magazines would be illegal under a proposed city ordinance. california already has a law that bans magazines of more than 10 rounds. but it allows people who possess large capacity magazines before january of 2000 to keep them. this city proposal would ban them out right. >> nobody needs these for protection. no one needs these for hunting. you don't need these. >> reporter: city leaders believe the law will reduce gun violence in oakland. so far this year, oakland police have already confiscated about 900 firearms. >> we're here because of a failure at the federal level to enact commonsense gun
