it ended as it began in a hail of gunfire captured on this cell phone video. four hours of terror in san bernardino after a gunman stormed an office building killing 14 people. the final confrontation on a neighborhood street. a dark suv riddled with bullets. a person with a gunshot down feet away, another dead inside. >> of the suspects that are dead at the scene, one is a male. one is a female. they are both armed with assault rifles. they're both armed with handguns. >> reporter: abc news confirmed one of the suspects is syed farook. >> why would he do something like this? i have absolutely no idea. i am in shock myself. >> reporter: law enforcement tracked down the suspects just two miles from the initial attack at the inland regional center. >> multiple shots that were fired. we're getting a suspect last seen wearing a black ski mask, all black clothing carrying a shotgun.

a barrage of gunfire. the people working there called their families. >> she was scared and she said i just want to tell you that i love you. she called us from in the hospital but she's doing better. she's alive. >> i have a suspect dressed in camo, mask, helmet, kevlar. >> reporter: investigators say the shooters targeted a workshop and training event inside the center. the bomb squad seth investigating a suspicious device authorities believe could be an explosive. in fact, in the last few hours, we've been hearing officers detonating potential explosives inside that building. still a very active scene. they want to make sure nothing has been left behind that could hurt anyone. we've learned the group holding that meeting behind me was the san bernardino county public health department. the police department just announcing that syed farook was an environmental specialist there. and police and several witnesses

then left. police say some said he was angry. roughly 30 minutes before the shooting began. reporting live in san bernardino, brandi hitt, abc news, kendis and reena? >> before you go, do we know anything further about a motive? is this potentially isis inspire sthd can we go that far at this hour? >> that's pretty far to go according to officers. they're not ruling it out but still have a lot to investigate. was this an angry employee firing back at colleagues or more to it? we do know tashfeen malik and syed farook both fairly young were either in a relationship as far as a fiance or they were possibly married. officers don't know but know they were together. they were a couple. and officers also originally thought they were searchinging for three suspects. they said they believe now there were only two shooters and they believe both of those shooters

their phones, their computers, social media footprint is being vacuum cleaned. obviously there's a possibility of terrorism. there are a lot of different scenarios here. it could be terrorism, both. till they know, they won't be making any final determination. last week the fbi director and attorney general had a very rare joint appearance together in which they talked about the concern that people here who might thinkize with isis for whatever reason would do some sort of copycat attack. that is part of the environment that's being looked at. also, we've seen such a spate of mass shootings this year. i think we calculated that this year alone, 56 case afc mass shootings where three or more people have been killed. the most telling thing we know is what they were wearing and carrying. they were wearing tactical gear. they also had assault style rifles and handguns.

these were people who came to kill. and that is deeply concerning and even though this was a horrific day, law enforcement is breathing a sigh of relief in that they got two suspects because imagine if those people were still on loose with no suspects. in the mass shootings we've seen at least in the last couple years, we just haven't seen women involved. that's something that we'll be closely looking at and analyzes. at this point, they want to know who that woman is and who were her associates. what is her connection to the other male suspect who is also so many questions. >> pierre, thank you so much. president obama was giving an interview when he was received word about the rampage in california. >> here's what he told cbs news. >> fbi is on the ground offering assistance to local officials as had he need it. it does appear that there are going to be some casualties and

go out to the victims and the families. the one thing we do know is that we have a pattern now of mass shootings in this country that has no parallel anywhere else in the world. >> and the president went on to call for a bipartisan effort to make americans safer by passing what he calls common sense gun laws. >> and he also pointed out that many people on the airline no fly list are still able to buy guns in this country. of course, reaction has been coming in all across this country from.politicians especially house speaker paul ryan among those reacting to the massacre in california. >> at his first capitol hill christmas tree lighting, the wisconsin republican called for a moment of silence for the victims just a kay earlier in response to the shooting at a planned parenthood clinic, he urged congress to prioritize mental health reform. >> among the many candidates expressing sympathy for the

he began his rally last night with a moment of silence. he also thanked law enforcement for their efforts saying they their work. earlier he tweeted the shooting looks very bad. we have much more coverage coming up from southern hour. we're going to hear from more eyewitnesss telling their stories to our station kabc. >> turning to other news beginning with the trial of the baltimore police officer accused in the death of freddie gray. defense attorneys are disputing when gray was injured in the back of a police transport van and claim porter asked gray if he needed medical attention while he was being taken to a police station. earlier prosecutors denied that saying gray needed medical help and that he couldn't can be brief. in chicago, mayor rahm emanuel is refusing calls for his resignation. officer jason van dyke is now facing first degree murder charges for the shooting death

and i heard all the shots. >> reporter: juan hernandez was staying at a hotel across the street. he came out when he heard the gunfire. >> a bunch of shots. multiple shots. shots going off like crazy, just one right after the other. and as i came out, then we had seen a black suv flying down the street. what i saw it looked like one guy was wearing military fatigue. >> i have a suspect dressed in camo, mask, helmet, kevlar. >> reporter: the law enforcement response massive. >> they're coming over here. >> that's where they're running to. >> reporter: a nurse filming this video from inside the building. people evacuated with their hands in the air. getting patdowns to make sure attackers weren't blending in with the crowd. >> check our bag and ids. >> and then 45 minutes after that first call, this chilling police radio dispatch. >> the suspect possibly all three of them fled in a black suv. >> these are people that came

indicate that they were prepared and they had -- they were armed with long guns. not handguns. at the scene getting text messages from loved ones. terry pettitte reading this message from his daughter locked in an office. >> shooting at my work. people shot. in the office waiting for cops. >> reporter: but she's okay? >> reporter: frank waiting anxiously for his niece. he tells me they spoke on the phone. >> she said something about three shooters with machine guns. >> reporter: she was outside when it happened on her break you said, and then what happened? >> they hit the floor and they ran inside to their manager's office and barricaded themselves. >> reporter: you seem pretty nervous right now. you're still pretty upset. but she's okay, right? >> she's okay, but i just want to comfort her. >> this man's wife got out safely.

they seen bodies on the floor. >> reporter: glenn willwerth heard it all unfold. >> you can hear people yelling and screaming. you can see a lot of people running around. >> reporter: a triage area set up at this intersection. the injured carried away on stretchers. police escorting evacuees to school buses, s.w.a.t. teams spent hours looking for victims and any explosives the attackers might have left behind. the scene still active hours later. authorities moving in to remove a suspicious device. >> one of those devices is believed to potentially be an explosive device. they're taking a very cautious very slow approach to processing that building and rendering that safe. >> reporter: the killers and their motives still a mystery. >> i know one of the big questions that will come up repeatedly is, is this terrorism. i am still not willing to say that we know that for sure. we are definitely making some movements that it is a possibility. >> reporter: and if this wasn't terrorism with a big "t," then

tremendous amount of terror and fear in this community and there are still those 14 families waiting to hear about the fate of their loved ones identities of those killed have not yet been released. matt gutman, abc news, san bernardino. >> our thanks to matt there. >> so many unanswered questions at this hour. mainly about the suspects and their motives. >> our coverage continues live in san bernardino with abc's brandi hitt. what can you tell us? we know there's a press conference just now. what's the latest from investigators? >> reporter: reena and kendis, police are now identifying the two suspected gunmen who are now dead as 27-year-old tashfeen malik and 28-year-old syed farook. officers say they were a couple, either engaged or married. but that they planned this attack at least that's what it appears. it was coordinated and well planned before they went into the building behind me. you can still see a large police presence here at this hour. officers are still going through

within the last hour, we've heard three explosions. we were told they would be controlled explosions because they were concerned the couple may have left some sort of improvised explosives behind possibly. they've been going through the building and want to make sure it's deemed safe as the investigation continues. >> brandi, even at this early hour and several hours after this rampage took place, there are still several scenes right now police are investigating. what are they doing right now? >> reporter: this is one of three major police scenes we are in. obviously, this is where it all started with the shooting spree. when the shoot-out with authorities happened, it was only about two miles from where we are. that's another active scene. you saw that suv just riddled with bullets. officers surrounding it, making sure there weren't any suspects that were still at large. they originally thought there may be three gunmen. now officers confirmed they

are dead. then there is a third search going on at a home five to six miles from where we are. it's believed that's where farook and malik lived together. authorities said that the home is in the name of farook but they're searching to make sure there may be evidence there that could help them determine a motive. that's obviously the big question. we've learned that syed farook was a county employee. authorities say he was an environmental specialist. he was at this meeting but then left 30 minutes before the shooting spree began. >> abc's brandi hitt live in san bernardino. we can hear the crews right behind her working through the clock. thank you so much. the victims of the rampage were honored last night before professional sports events in southern california. >> please join us as we observe a moment of silence for those who lost their lives. >> that moment of silence held at the staples center in los angeles before the

here's abc's tom llamas. >> reporter: as some were shooting and others were dying in san bernardino, california, on the other side of the country with no knowledge yet of the massacre, hillary clinton happened to be talking about gun control. >> 90 americans a day die from gun violence. homicide, suicides, tragic avoidable accidents. 33,000 americans a year die. it is time for us to say, we're going to have comprehensive background checks. we're going to close the gun show loophole. >> once she learned of the shooting, clinton tweeting i refuse to accept this as normal. we must take action to stop gun violence now. the right to bear arms being pushed to the forefront of the campaign in the wake of the colorado, paris and now san bernardino shootings. on the republican side, front-runner donald trump thinks if more people were armed, there would be fewer fatalities during mass shootings. making his point this way.

what took place in paris and they said move over, boom, move over, boom, nobody, nobody could protect themselves. and so we have to really cherish and protect our second amendment. and i will be the best at it, believe me. >> reporter: the republican front-runner tweeting, california shooting looks very bad. good luck to law enforcement. and god bless. this is when our police are so appreciated. another top republican presidential candidate weighing in, dr. ben carson calling this a hate crime. when asked why he would classify it as a late crime with so little known about the shooting, it appears he was talking on a symbolic level saying you don't do that to people you love. tom llamas, abc news, new york. >> more coverage from southern california in a moment. more coverage from southern

[ gunshots ] >> what sounds like fireworks is a fire fight. a body lying in the street feet away, that black suv riddled with bullets. one suspect still inside. as police run into position, single file up across the lawn. five minutes later, two armored vehicles approach the suv from both sides. >> you basically box a person in. so with the car in the front, a car in the back and many times one on the side, there's no place for the car to go. >> reporter: followed by a

with a ballistic shield. >> the whole point of armored vehicles in a law enforcement setting is exactly how they use this particular event where you take the vehicles and you use them as cover to protect you from obviously other firearms or potentially other explosives. >> reporter: officers cautiously approaching but it appears the suspect inside is already dead. two suspects dead at the scene. one male, one female, both armed with assault rifles and handguns and dressed in what police described as dark tactical gear. >> they were dressed in kind of assault style clothing. i think is probably the best way to term it. >> reporter: but all afternoon, authorities have been looking for up to three suspects. one person of interest was seen fleeing the scene. >> i don't have any information on who that person is yet, and we do not know if they were involved.

>> reporter: police detained a third suspect after receiving reports of someone jumping a fence. the fbi raiding this home in that redlands neighborhood using a robot to sweep the apt. apartment. >> there's been discussions all day about potential explosives. even the police chief mentioned there might be a pipe bomb at the initial crime scene. keeping that in mind, you want to make sure you're not walking into a booby-trap. if you send a robot in, if it triggers something, then so be it. no one else is harmed. it gives you the opportunity to send it in and then it can be your eyes and ears inside the house. and once you feel like that it's sufficiently cleared at least maybe the first floor of that residence, then you make a tactical entry. >> reporter: byron pitts, abc news, new york. >> what a day in america. a lot of those events playing out on live television yesterday. >> absolutely. we are going to be back with a
