well. i want to start this off by reiterating that... how incredibly tragic this is. we have a lot of families that are clearly devastated by what happened here. and we need to be sensitive to. that i want to put out to those families out there that our prayers are with them and we are here to support them any way we can. some updated numbers. same as yesterday. we have 14 people that are confirmed dead. in this incident. the number of wounded has risen from 17 to 21. they are being treated at various local hospitals. we were asked yesterday about the number of officers that responded. we are still compiling the total number of officers that responded here at 11:00 when the initial call went out. our rough count right now is about 300 officers from local,

agencies that responded. helping deal with the crime scene here. many of those were part of the investigation and the officer-involved shooting that followed. here at the scene, at, what we have total, we believe the suspects when they entered, fired somewhere between 65-75 rounds from their rifles. at the scene. we did locate the one pipe bomb that was actually... there were three pipe bombs combined into one. it had a remote-control device that appears to have not worked in this case. there were four high-capacity 223 rifle magazine that is were dropped by the suspects and left in there as evidence that had been recovered. i can confirm that the suspects were wearing the black-style tactical gear that we talked about yesterday. they were not wearing ballistic vests, bulletproof vests. what they did have and what

they had tactical-style vests that held equipment and magazines and ammunition. that sort of stuff. sorry? on the officer-involved couple of hours after the incident, we talked yesterday about how that came to be. how we ended up at that point in the investigation. and what we were following up on. in the officer-involved shooting that occurred, we had 7 police agencies that were involved in that shooting. including our department, the sheriff's department, i think we had 14 of our police officers involved. and then there were various other agencies that were all part of some of the local task force that had come to assist in the initial response. the 7 agencies involved. we had 23 officers that fired their weapons at the suspect. law enforcement fired approximately 380 rounds at the suspect. both of them were killed here at the scene. the suspects are believed to have fired about 76 rifle

pursuit. >> how many? >> 76 is our number that we have right now. however, on them, on their person, on their body and in the vehicle, they had over 1,400 223-caliber rounds available to them. they had over 200 nine-mill meeter rounds as well. we talked about it yesterday. weapons. rifles. they had nine-millimeter pistols with them. 1,400 223 rounds. 200 nine-millimeter rounds. on their person. yes. or immediately in the vehicle around and available to them. let me get to a few others. we had two officers that were injured in that incident. one of them was a police officer that sustained a gunshot wound to his left leg. he was taken to a local hospital last night. he is probably going to be

has not already been released. the injuries are not life-threatening. i did visit with him last night in the hospital. necessary good spirits. this was a second deputy that was also injured in the incident. sustained some cuts to his leg. we believe that probably came from shrapnel or broken glass. we are not exactly sure. two officers injured in the exchange. the house in redlands that became part of the focus of this investigation yesterday,ly confirm that the search that took place revealed that there were 12 pipe bomb-type devices found in that house or in the garage of that house. there were also hundreds of tools. many of which could be used to construct ied's or pipe bombs. and in addition to that, they had other material to have produced some additional bombs as well. there were another 2,000 nine-millimeter rounds found

there were 2,500 rounds. long-rifle rounds that were found there. so with that, i'm here to talk about the specifics of the investigation. and what we discovered evidence-wise. the f.b.i. has some comments to make. a little bit later in this. do you have any questions for me? >> do you believe they were planning another attack? >> we don't know. clearly, they could have continued to do another attack. they were equipped... we intercepted them before that happened, obviously. >> any other suspects or people of interest? going on. and i don't think we are prepared to talk about other for. we are confident that the two people that were involved in the shool shooting here are the two dead suspects that we have at the scene. we do not have any credible information to indicate that there is an immediate threat to anybody in the area or anybody in the region. brian? >> the remote-controlled car

can you elaborate? >> i'm not an expert on it. it is my understanding that three pipe bombs were attached together. somehow attached to this remote-control car. the device would trigger or set that device off. we don't know if they attempted to do that and it failed or what the story is. it was found in a bag. at the scene. i'm going to let the f.b.i. the go. >> pro is not confirmed. we don't have any information >> pros. or any cameras of any sort. >> based on the interviews with all the eyewitnesses, can you tell us exactly what happened in the room? do you still believe there was a dispute and they left and came back? this seems very much pre-planned? >> so we have people in the room that have indicated that the suspect was in the room during the early part of this

there was a county public health christmas holiday type gathering luncheon. that is what it was. he was part of. that he was there early on. and he left. we did have some initial information that he left under some kind of duress or as if he was angry. we have somebody else say that, you know, he kind of disappeared. we don't know where he went from there. i don't know that we know enough about that yet. we will confirm that he was there early on. we still don't have the motive. the building that this took place in, i'm sure you guys have aerial views of what it is. this took place in the southern most bidding on the property. the doors that they entered were located on the east side. so they entered from that parking lot into those east doors which went directly into the room. which is where the shooting

those doors were unlocked. they sprayed the room with bullets. i don't know that there was any one person that was targeted. they killed 14 people there. >> is there any idea how long... how much time lapsed? >> i meant to follow up on that question. yesterday we had information that it was anywhere from 10-30 minutes. ly try to tie that up later on in the day. we said yesterday that there appears to be a degree of planning that went into this. nobody just gets upset at a party and goes home and puts together that kind of elaborate scheme or plan to come back and do that. there was a plan. (inaudible) >> i don't think we are far enough into the investigation to really definitively say

or every place they have been or what they have been doing over the last several years or months. that is the part we are still working on, though. >> did he have a grudge against coworkers? >> not that i'm personally aware of. at some point later today, we will have a comment from his employer and we will talk about some of those issues. it is my understanding he was still an employee of the county. the guns were legally purchased. the two handguns were purchased by him. the rifles were not. but those are components we are still following up on. all four guns were legally purchased. (inaudible) did he have a record? >> there is no criminal record that we are aware of.

we are told there was a license plate. excursion. the big expedition. i'm sorry. black ford expedition. a rent a car. he represented it. three or four daysgo. it was actually due to be returned yesterday. that is why it had utah plates. it was rented locally. >> he traveled overseas. is there any connection that something was planned... that. those are things they are working on. our plan today is we are going to do a morning press conference. throughout the course of the day, the sheriff and the coroner's office is going to start releasing the names of the victims. we have been working throughout the night to get identity of those folks and then make notification. we will start to put those names out here fairly soon. we will probably to... try to get the pictures out as well. we will come back and do a

throughout the course of the day, we anticipate we will start releasing the names of the victims. several of them are county employees. >> can you talk a little bit about the community and how you see them being able to move on past this in the coming days? >> you know, i read an article by one of the reporters in the sun this morning. and she talked about the resiliency of this community. everybody knows san bernardino has been beaten up with the bankruptcy and some things that have hit this community. economically, this community has been hit hard. this is a resilient community. we will survive. this we have had an enormous ground swell of support from neighboring communities and well-wishes that have come in from all over the place. i do know that there is a vigil planned later tonight at the stadium on east street. you will see evidence there of a tremendous amount of support. and people are going to come

as as the officers, everything that i have seen and all of the officers from my department, they are doing extraordinarily well. i'll tell you, i'm incredibly proud of the way our folks responded. not only the initial response here and the help we got from our local and regional partners. but for the way they also engaged in that officer-involved shooting and chased down the suspects. that was nothing short of heroic. i'm extremely proud of the way they handled that. >> the guns were legally purchased. is it legal to have those guns here in california? >> i think there is some question still about whether they were california-legal or not. we have not gotten to the bottom of. that i will let atf address that later on. we do know at this point the four guns were purchased. appeared to be a legal purchase and appeared to be registered. >> were the officer wearing body cams? >> none of our officers have body cams. i don't know about the other agencies.

they had a six-month-old childment. i'm not sure exactly where the child is. i'm not aware of any law regarding restrictions on the amount of ammunition. i'm not specificly aware of anything against the law there. >> what else have they found beside the ammunition? >> so the suspect... both suspects were listed on the rental agreement for the property. as i said yesterday, i don't know that we can definitively say that they were living there or living elsewhere. and what exactly that house was used for. the house became a focus of the investigation based upon information that we had from witnesses that identified him as an employee that was there. it was follow-up that we had done connected to that person to take us to that house, led us to that vehicle which resulted in the following pursuit and the shooting that happened.

involved in that, the house became a primary focus. we took our time with securing it. we cleared the house safely. we discovered the other pipe bombs, and i think, some other evidence, cell phones, things like that have been recovered from there. and various other items. there is a lot of helpful information that we have gotten from a number of areas. . >> how many people were going in and out of that house other than the two people that lived there? was there a pattern of men, women coming and going? >> we have heard the rumors you guys have heard. we have some information. we are still trying to verify. that keep in mind, i'm pretty careful here. information that went out yesterday is likely to change today. and tomorrow and so on. i mean, already the wounded number has changed. i want to be as accurate as we possibly can. a lot of that becomes speculation and i would like

it. so there has been a number of electronic items from thumb drives to computers and cell phones that have been taken. i don't ship we have completed the analysis on them yet. i don't know what they have completed yet. real quickly,day from the f.b.i. is here. he has a few comments. i will let him do. that and then we will fin arab few more questions. >> was there surveillance at the building? >> it is my understanding, there was no specific surveillance inside the room where the shooting took place. we are, however, in possession of surveillance cameras from the area. we are still going through that evidence. >> good morning. i'm the assistant director in charge of the f.b.i. in los angeles. i want to focus on two points. first off, again, our hearts and our prayers are with the families of all these victims of this very heinous act. secondly, i ask you to be patient.

little bits as we can as we ascertain more and more facts. as you can tell, by this investigation, and even the media response here today, this is not your average investigation. we have multiple scenes. we have many victims. and it will take time. this is a tremendous number of assets and resources being applied to this investigation. my focus as a fact-finder who works for an organization that is really fixated on facts is i would much rather be slower and correct with the information that comes out to you than fast and incorrect. it is incredibly important for us. because the integrity of this investigation is absolutely paramount as far as our concern. other than taking care of the victims. so we are applying a number of federal resources. we are continuing to work very, very carefully with our

department, the atf.
