couple's home. >> and a bomb left at the building where the attack happened fortunately failed to go off. here's what else we learned today, the top democrat on the house intelligence committee said it's premature to conclude that suspect syed farook was self radicalized or moved by some international actor. california congressman adam schiff also said investigators are looking through social media and chasing down both foreign and domestic leads to look for connections to terrorism, but as of now, investigators still have not determined a motive. nbc 10 investigative reporter mitch blacher joins us live in our digital operations center. >> mitch, we learned alarming details about the husband and wife who police say pulled off this massacre. >> keith and rosemary, the two suspects were a young married couple, in fact, just had a baby back in may, but police, the fbi, federal agents say that those two suspects, they had a lot, several secrets buried deep in their home. >> i am in shock that something

like this could happen. >> reporter: even family members of san bernardino suspect syed farook and tashfeen malik can't understand why the couple would leave behind their 6 month old daughter to go on a rampage at a holiday party. 14 people were killed and nearly two dozen others injured. >> we are confident that the two people that were involved in the shooting here are the two dead suspects that we have at the scene. >> reporter: farook was born in chicago and traveled to saudi arabia, where he met malik. >> we know he went to pakistan at one point, she's here on a visa. >> reporter: the couple was married in the last two years and had a baby registry for their daughter, but inside their house today, fbi agents made an alarming discovery. 12 pipe bombs, tools to make ieds, and at least 3,000 rounds of ammunition. >> there had to have been some degree of planning that went into this. i don't think they ran home, put on these types of tactical clothes, grabbed guns and came back on a spur of the moment

thing. >> reporter: one thing investigators have not found yet, a motive. >> it would be irresponsible and premature of me to call this terrorism. >> it is possible this was terrorist related, but we don't know. it's also possible that this was workplace related. >> reporter: now, one of the victims allegedly had a conversation with farook about islam just two weeks before the attack, but it's not clear if that alleged discussion was a factor in the shooting. live in the digital operations center, mitch blacher, nbc 10 news. >> mitch, thank you very much. one of the 14 people killed in yesterday's shooting had roots in cape may county. this afternoon, we're hearing from his family and former coworkers. nicolas was a long time member of the department of public health in san bernardino. before moving to california, he worked for cape may county's health department. his wife is in california today, she spoke about her last encounter with her husband.

>> i am a second grade teacher and had snacks i needed to bring in. he said i'll bring them in for you, so i actually got an extra hug and a kiss before he left, so i'm just holding on to that, just grateful for that. >> nbc 10 was also in cape may county today talking to people who remember him for his days there. they are also saddened by the news. >> he was one of our family. he was just part of the county family. that's what the employees were saying, former employees were saying this morning when they called me. it's just one of ours, he was just an everyday working guy. >> nicolas was 52 years old. >> the muslim community in our area is concerned they'll face backlash from the shooting rampage. nbc 10's lauren mayk spoke to some muslims in our region about the prejudice they say they already experience every day. >> reporter: these students are holding a bake sale, a typical fundraiser for a group of young people whose typical experience

can be this. >> i walk down the street, i see people looking at me and wonder are they looking at me because they are just looking at me or because they are afraid of me? >> reporter: rebecca converted to islam three years ago. >> to be honest, i've never felt more peaceful in my life. >> reporter: she says she was working at a nursing home. >> one of the patients looked at me and said, are you muslim? i said, yes, i am. and he said, get me out of here. and mentioned something about terrorists. >> i was born here, i'm an american just like you. just because i'm muslim doesn't mean i don't belong in the country. >> reporter: she was in first grade on 9/11. >> over the course of time, things started piling up over the years, teachers, people started saying terrorist, don't belong here. i've grown up with that my entire life. >> reporter: she's now president of the muslim student association at temple. >> can't base this off one guy who went around shooting people, yeah, that's every muslim, they

shoot people. clearly, i'm not going around shooting people. >> reporter: for young people so comfortable with social media, suddenly that, too, is an attack. >> going through videos and comments of people saying muslims should all die, that, you know, we need to keep closer tabs on muslims, because we're just regular people. we're not terrorists. >> reporter: as disturbing as some of those social media posts can be, one student tells me she's heartened to see nonmuslims defending muslims online. in philadelphia, i'm lauren mayk, nbc 10 news. we've learned that new jersey lawmakers have postponed a vote on gun control legislation. the assembly vote would have overturned governor christie's veto on the bill. the bill requires anyone who wants to expunge a mental health record in order to buy a gun to first notify police. the assembly speaker said lawmakers will try again. coming up at 5:30 we are

october. okafor's attorney says he got a sudden call wednesday night that the court was rejecting the basketball player's original agreement and $439 fine. >> and now the city of camden wants to retract the plea and wants him to do community service and all sorts of requests that would never happen in a speeding case. >> reporter: his lawyer argued jahlil okafor has already admitted his mistake. >> he was operating his car in an unsafe manner, which is what he took a guilty plea to, recognized what he did was unsafe. >> reporter: okafor's attorney says the only reason the case is being reopened is because of the publicity surrounding video of the sixer fighting outside a boston bar and the publicizing of the speeding ticket. >> all of it is not in the routine course of practice of law and is certainly being done because of his name and notoriety. >> reporter: andrew smith says they expect to be back here at camden city hall for court

court's conviction on the lesser charge of manslaughter in the shooting death of his girlfriend. pistorius has insisted that he thought reeva steenkamp was an intruder behind a door in his home. the justice said today regardless of who may have been behind the door, pistorius should have known someone could be killed if he fired. pistorius will now have to be resentenced in this case. i'm sure you heard about the dangers of people pointing the green lasers at airplanes. well, it's no joke. tonight police are actually looking for someone who allegedly pointed a laser at a pennsylvania national guard helicopter. it happened on thanksgiving day. the helicopter was flying over lebanon county in bethel township. no one was hurt. elsewhere, jurors heard testimony today from this dover police officer accused of kicking a black suspect in the face while in custody. corporal thomas webster told the jury he was aiming for the man's body and not his head. dash cam video shows the kick. we warn you, you might find it

disturbing. the video was recorded in august 2013 and shows webster kicking lateef dickerson while dickerson was on his hands and knees. dickerson was knocked unconscious and had a broken jaw. webster's charged with felony assault. his attorney says the officer's actions were justified. two burglaries in two days at the same restaurant. philadelphia police say this man busted a glass door at a restaurant on washington avenue. once inside he emptied the register. police tell us he came back the next day and crawled through the same door to rob the restaurant a second time. if you know who this man is, call philadelphia police. a similar situation in the pocono mountains, but this one had a different ending. a man with a knife robbed a donut shop in monroe county. he cleaned out the register, then walked out. what he didn't realize, the employees were on his heels and tag led him outside the store.

in the way of sunshine today, and early this morning, even this afternoon for a small period of time we had some snow flurries up in the poconos, and that's really because of this strong northwest wind. so we have that lake effect rain and snow showers to our north and west and the strong winds help to blow some of that in, mostly to the higher elevations, but the rest of the area kind of chilly through the day today. the wind continues right now, so it's still a little windy outside, but as we go overnight tonight, the winds will diminish and once that happens with the clear skies temperatures will be dropping down pretty quickly. we do stay dry into tomorrow afternoon, friday at 1:00 p.m. the wind direction is going to keep us on a cool note, but above normal for this time of the year, around the mid to low 50s. dry conditions staying in the forecast to end out the week, big area of high pressure into saturday, so we stay nice and dry into the weekend. sunday the position of the high is going to move offshore, so we will get a change in the wind

direction. that's going to give us milder temperatures, but sunday is going to be the milder day out of the weekend. looks pretty good, but starting the month of december above normal. low temperatures tonight will be dropping down to around 29 in allentown, 36 for the philadelphia area, 33 in reading. 32 for millville, 38 wildwood, 34 degrees for dover and wilmington. and it will be breezy, but we will be seeing the winds diminish overnight tonight. tomorrow, not as windy as today, but will be sunny. temperatures from 52 to 55 degrees, so still above normal for this time of the year, but it will be a nice sunny day for you. then into the weekend look how temperatures jump up saturday. then into sunday, low 60s. the average high is actually 49 degrees. then we go into next week, we stay above normal, the next rain chance next tuesday, but look at the temperatures, they are going to stay into the 50s, even as we go into the middle to end of next week. it was an important lesson

for some local high school students today. they learned that what you text, even to your friends, can land you in jail. and the new role for women in the military. coming up, the change that will put them on the front lines.

this is nbc 10 news. >> did a philadelphia school principal lose his cool? right now school district and police are investigating just that, allegations that the principal pushed a student during a confrontation over a uniform violation.

it comes as the school is working to end ongoing violence there. >> nbc 10's george spencer has been digging up new details on the story today. >> reporter: that principal has now been reassigned while investigators do their work reviewing surveillance video and talking to witnesses. over the past several years, images captured on cell phones inside this school have prompted the very concerns that brought this principal here in the first place. last year's cell phone video of a substitute teacher apparently knocked out by a student produced the last round of violence concerns at the school and the promise of change from the school principal, abdul mohammed. >> we are in a time of crisis, but we're in a time of hope. >> reporter: now that principal is, himself, under investigation for allegations of getting physical with a student during an argument. >> he's really been for these kids, pro kids, so this is really surprising. >> reporter: a parent who's withholding judgment until the investigation is complete.

the school district tells us mohammad got into an argument with a student over a uniform violation around 9:30 yesterday morning and ended up pushing her. sources say the girl spit on the principal and he may have responded with a defensive shove. >> i just have questions about even, like, his mentality, is he capable of running this school if he's going to be violent or even physical with a student? >> reporter: nbc 10 has covered the issue with violence at bartram repeatedly. the injured substitute teacher was one example and before that a gym teacher also knocked out. the district promised more police and more security cameras. now a best principal is covering mohammad's duties here, but several parents and students say they'll stand by their principal because of the progress he's already made. >> the school is starting to change, getting better again, so he's pretty much doing his job. >> reporter: mohammad had been at the school for about two years before being reassigned as part of this investigation

today. police are now doing their work to see if charges are warranted against either the principal or the student. reporting in southwest philadelphia, george spencer, nbc 10 news. to this now, police say a california man and his wife were loaded to kill at a company holiday party. >> we've learned other new details about the san bernardino shootings within the last half hour from a u.s. intelligence official. syed farook allegedly used social media to contact extremists under fbi scrutiny. the intelligence official also says that investigators are still trying to determine whether and how farook became radicalized and if he was in contact with any foreign terrorist organization. joining us now to take a closer look is dr. scott white. >> he's a professor of homeland security and security management at drexel university, also a former officer with the canadian security intelligence service. dr. white, thank you so much for joining us. you know, this is a complicated

investigation. how do you begin to determine if it's terrorism or something else? >> that's a good question. i think what you're going to be looking at is the fbi are going to take possession of his computer, monitor his television traffic, they are going to look at any correspondence he's made through traditional correspondence, mail system, anything and everything is up for grabs here now to investigate. so there's going to be extensive, obtaining warrants, because there could be further people they want to arrest later so they are keeping the chain of custody and evidence secure and all warrants being issued to obtain information correctly and by law. >> as we just mentioned, we just found out the suspect syed farook used social media to be contacting extremists who were already under fbi scrutiny. you touched on this about looking into the kinds of communications he was involved in. we also know when the fbi went into his house they found a dozen pipe bombs, thousands of rounds of ammunition.

does it appear as though other people were helping this couple or should have known this was going to happen? >> good question, and i think the fbi is going to investigate this, but i think this is what separates it from a workplace violence. i mean, all of this, the collection of the weaponry, the building of the explosive devices would have taken time. this isn't someone who drove home after an argument, picked up a firearm and went back to work. this is an individual who's spent a lot of time building these bombs and obtaining, you know, some 1,600 rounds of projectiles for his four firearms he had with him. >> dr. white, the fbi is calling this in the very least, you heard it yesterday, domestic terrorism. authorities later told nbc news one of the suspects had been radicalized, was in touch with people who expressed those views. some people might be asking right now, why isn't that enough to declare this terrorism? >> that's a good question. ultimately i wouldn't call this

domestic terrorism, this is international terrorism done domestically. he's been radicalized and that's what adds the international part of this equation. so this is really international terrorism operationalized domestically. i tend to believe it is. >> all right, dr. white, thank you so much, we appreciate your time. >> you're very welcome. nbc 10 will be bringing you any new developments in the san bernardino shootings as soon as we get them. of course, this is an unfolding and evolving investigation. you can always download the free nbc 10 app for breaking news, plus we will have a live report from california in just about ten minutes. now your nbc 10 first alert weather. >> it is a cold and breezy night. here's a live look at center city, philadelphia, where it's going to get even colder. you're going to need the coats tonight. >> definitely, and the extra blanket on your bed or turn up the heat. sheena parveen is here with more on how cold it's going to get.

sheena? >> it is going to get cold. some areas in the upper 20s, but definitely not the coldest night that we've seen. it's just going to be cold in terms of what we have seen recently, because we're still above normal for the month of december, at least so far. 48 degrees in philadelphia right now. 44 in allentown. already 36 in the poconos, and with the wind today, yes, it has felt a little bit colder outside. even the poconos got some lake effect snow showers, even this afternoon some flurries in the poconos, earlier this morning, too. come to an end, but still watching some to the north and west, just flurries at this moment, though. the rest of the area nice and dry, but the wind is still out there(pón making it feel cooler overnight tonight, though, the wind is going to die down and that's when temperatures will be able to drop even faster. here's future temperatures as we get into about the 9:00, 10:00, 11:00 hour, areas north and west should be in the 30s. philadelphia area, new jersey, and delaware should be around 40 degrees, then we go into tomorrow morning, almost everybody should be in the 30s

to start out. some spots could make it into the upper 20s, so coming up we'll take a closer look at that and how your weekend is shaping up. >> looking forward to that, sheena. have you seen these? hover boards. one of the hottest gifts, electric hands free scooters. apparently they've become quite popular in the eagles locker room. head coach chip kelly was asked about it today. >> we haven't had any injuries and it hasn't been a big -- but there are -- there's a lot of them, you know, little bit like back to the future here. >> hover boards are raising some safety concerns tonight. a louisiana family says one of them caused this damage to their home. they claim the hover board caught fire while it was charging. then there's this, look at that, a man in alabama posted a video of his hover board in flames. he says it caught fire three days after he bought it. the consumer product safety commission says it is looking into the matter. nbc 10's randy gyllenhaal
