there was also another use of pipe bombs in columbine.number of rudimentary devices there. we've seen them with the boston bombings as we saw previously. the reason they use them primarily is to draw in first responders. >> as essentially a secondary attack. they want to be able to kill first responders after they've already committed the initial assault that brought the first responders to the scene? >> that is correct. >> you said pipe bombs are common. how dangerous is it to make them? i'm struck by the fact that they apparently made 12. i don't know how well they made them, but they made them well enough not to kill themselves while making them. >> these rudimentary devices are often very volatile. so often times there are more dead bomb makers than victims at times. it's not uncommon in certain locations to find a bomb maker without any fingers or missing limps. the components are extremely volatile. we look at a compound which is an explosive used in paris, or look at gunpowder. if it's not stacked correctly in the casing. if you ha

it was a guy plotting to use pipe bombs to wreak havoc in the city.hen two years later in april 2013 it was the boston marathon bombing. they included an elbow-shaped pipe bomb filled with powder and b.b.'s. he told the jury, i always call it an improvised grenade. the elbow shape means when it's tossed it won't roll away. the jury saw a straight pipe bomb and a tupperware device found behind the driver's seat in the suv. >> turns out the boston bombers, they, too, were following specific instructions on how to build those bombs. investigators recovered files from the tsunaev brothers that included the same magazine article that detailed step by step instructions with pictures about how to make a pipe bomb at home. look at this, the image on the left is a picture from the al qaeda magazine from their instruction sheet. the image on the right is the pipe bomb that actually was built by the tsarnaev brothers and confiscated in the confrontation with the police in watertown. the truth is we do not know whether this latest incident in san bernadino with t

but just a copper pipe looking like a fuse to perhaps slow the police down. that is another question. one, what was their motive. the second thing is were they intending other attacks? you would certainly think so because of all of this material they were stockpiling. >> the woman in this case malik was firing from the car and she was active in this assault even until the end. >> authorities say as the car was speeding away, syed rizwan farook was driving and she was shooting out the back. they stop the car. they don't believe the police disabled the car. both turned and started to shoot at the police. there was an amazing exchange of gunfire and the two were killed. >> horrible. thank you so much as always, pete williams. now i am joined by malcolm nantz. he is now the executive director of the project. malcolm, give us a sense about this attack. fill us in on what is missing. the cement that could possibly put the whole story together. >> this is an absolutely fascinating attack. i can tell you as a professional they will be writing about this attack. there

we did locate the one pipe bomb that was three pipe bombs combined into one that had a remote control car, device that appears to have not have worked in this case. there were also four high-capacity 223 rifle magazines that 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 we talked about. they were not wearing ballistic vests, bullet proof vests. what they did have and what people may have confused they had tactical style vests that held equipment, magazines and ammunition and that sort of stuff. sorry? yeah, load-bearing gear. on the officer involved shooting we said how that came to be and how we ended up at that point in the investigation and what we were following up on. on the officer involved shooting that occurred we had seven police agencies involved in that shooting including our department, the sheriff's department, 14 of our police officers involved. and then there were various other agencies that were part of some of the local task force that had come to assist in

they threw pipe bombs out the window. this gets really scary once you start talking about pipe bombs. we haven't heard yet what was in that suspicious package at the facility that was left behind. >> that's right. >> was it also a pipe bomb? >> harry, you're talking about when you hear about all of these weapons, though, if there was another location planned, it wasn't nearby? >> right. i mean, why would they wait so long to attack when you have every single police in that area from the first attack, they were basically free to go to another location and attack and they didn't. all right? were they waiting for tomorrow? i mean, this is what doesn't make sense to me. why are they still in the area? the only reason you can think of is the reason they are still in the area is they wanted to attack another location. for some reason, either they didn't or they weren't smart enough to do the attack right away and they were going to wait later on to tonight or maybe tomorrow. hopefully that they didn't get caught. why were they

police also found 12 pipe bombs at the suspects' nearby home. nbc source says the bombs were similar to the ones used in the boston marathon bombing. the tsarnaev brothers under a the couple appeared to have found instructions in an outdated magazine. the home made bomb making residue was found at the couple's home. investigators are looking into whether the pair had accomplices who may have helped them with their deadly plan. authorities say not yet prepared to label this an attack an act of terrorism. the female suspect had a pakistani passport. the couple recently travelled out of the u.s. and did spent time in pakistan where the male suspect may have been radicalized. cheryl fiandaca, 7 news. >> . >> kim: daily news calling out members of congress saying they're not doing come control. it high leads several leets from lawmakers who responded to the shooting yesterday saying they were' sending prayers to the families in san bernandino. gun control on the minds of many. some pointing to the statistics on gun in the u.s. which are staggering. j

we did locate the one pipe -- there were actually three pipe bombs combined into one, that had a remoteontrol car type of device that appears to have not have worked in this case. there were four 223 rifle magazines dropped by the suspects and left in there as evidence that has 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 bullet-proof vests. what did they have tactical style vest that held equipment, magazines and ammunition, load bearing gear. the officer-involved shooting that took place, we talked about how that came to be. how we ended up at that point in the investigation and what we were following up on. on the shooting that occurred we have seven police agencies that were involved including our department, the sheriff's department, i think we had 14 of our police officers involved, and then various other agencies that were all part of the task force that had come to assist. we had 23 officers that were actually -- fired their weapons at the suspects. law enforcement fired

john: inside the couple' s home, police found pipe bombs and more than 23,000 bullets. they also left a pipe bomb inside the conference room, but for some reason they never exploded. key now for the fbi, figuring out who the couple was communicating with and where they may have traveled. >> no one gets upset at a party, goes home and puts to get a that kind of elaborate scheme. there was planning that went into this. john: they may have had multiple motives. the weapons were purchased legally. heather? heather: a woman with ties to survivors of the san bernardino massacre. she once worked for the shush her medical center in keene. she was shot three times in the leg. she is recovering. she is an employee of the san bernardino county health department. phil: we are also learning more about the pipe bomb left in the regional center targeted by the california shooters. the controller to set off that pipe bomb was similar to the one used in the boston marathon attacks. the explosive was never detonated and it was eventually removed by a police robot. the metal pipe bombs we

they don't have pipe bombs at home and you know, remote cars to take pipe bombs into buildings and tactical gear. >> this is clearly not a workplace violence incident. >> what is it? >> it's clearly someone who together with at least one other person, his wife; and perhaps others, we don't know, was planning terrorist activities or attacks. he could have become angry and it was planned for that day or it sparked -- or pulled the trigger on the plan. >> and the reason that officials are having so much -- they're just being careful, you think? you think they have an idea? >> the more i listen to the officials the more i'm hearing terrorism is clearly on the table. this is again not in any way fitting the profile of workplace violence. you don't get you wife and arsenal and come back and have an arsenal at home. >> i want to bring some folks in now. these are neighbors of the killer's family. they are dane and britney adams. you live next door to syed rizwan farook. have you ever seen anything unusual going on? >> i never seen anything unusual of. they seemed like normal individuals to me. not

more than a dozen pipe bombs and hundreds of tools. tools to make more pipe bombs.n fact, there was so much explosive power. the fbi and the local police were wondering if, in fact, the christmas party was the target to begin they planning an even99dk biggr acin some i way. we have also understood tonight, greta, that a couple of weeks ago there was this dispute, apparently between5uebçzez the co-workers of syed farook and a man who was a christian. we are told they had a disagreement over whether islam was a peaceful religion or not. that coworker was among those killed inside the regional center. it was a heated argument. not part ever of the argument that happened during the day of the shooting when farook apparently left the building and then came back with his wife and opened fire. we can now tell you, greta, that earlier today the police have ruled out that third suspect. last night at this time we were talking about a potential third suspect. now that person apparently has been ruled out. they believe this couple did act alone. and finally we should note, gr

we did locate the one pipe bomb that was actually three pipe bombs combined into one. had a remote control car-type remote control device that appears to have not worked in this case. there were also four high capacity .223 rifle magazines that were dropped by it the suspects and left in there as the evidence recovered. >> what followed was a chase, a gun battle with police, that ended with both suspects dead. a neighbor capturing that showdown on his cell phone. watch this. [ gunfire ] >> [ bleep ] shots rang out, oh, my gosh. >> joining us now, our justice reporter and our chief national security correspondent jim sciut sciutto. evan, it appears on the reporting you are doing, all of our sources suggesting that the shooter in this particular case, the husband, the man, was, in fact, radicalized, and had some sort of international connections. what are you hearing? >> well, these are the things the fbi is following up on. they want to make sure they understand what those connections were. there's nothing yet that has shown up that indicates any kind of order from an i

they also had 12 pipe bombs.r is more surveillance, tough ur surveillance at home to deattack attacks before they go off. we have done it many types in the past. we had techniques. we need to make sure we're using those techniques. >> with your political analyst hat on, if this turns out to be an act of terrorism, and the fbi comes 0 ut and says that, politically speaking, who benefits? >> i won't look at it that way. if it was an act of terrorism, members of congress and the president together and candidates need to recognize it's back on our shores. after september 11th, we didn't ask what's the political impact. we acted together. >> in the middle of a presidential election either. >> that didn't matter. september 12th, everybody came together. if this is terrorism, and the appearance it is, it's important we come together. i hope that will be the case. i'm not going to look at it who politically gains or loses, i won't. >> what can happen? if that is the case, if the nation wants to come together, i guess it'

he says he did not have anything to do with the pipe bombs, if you remember, there were 19 or 12 pipe bombs and another seven or so that were pieces of pipe bombs that were found in the home of the couple that carried out the shootings. he says he had nothing to do with those devices or the devices that were strung together and rigged to explode at the inland regional center, the scene of the office gathering where the first shooting took place. but he says that if -- and he boasted, even, to the fbi, that if he had had anything to do with those bombs they would certainly have gone off. again, this is all part of a great deal of information that he has provided to the fbi, a lot of it they are still working to corroborate including this 2012 plot he says he and farook had cocked up and never followed through on. >> he hasn't been charged at this point? >> he has not been charged? >> would he be, snow. >> yes, he's in a lot of legal risk himself. he's admitted to a lot of things, including the fact he bought the two firearms used to carry out the shootings so there's multiple things th

the water corroded the pipes. it released the lead that the was holding the pipes together.he people of flint drank that water now filled with lead and it made them sick. and in september, the local press uncovered state documents showing lead levels rising in the water in flint. scientists from virginia tech came up to test the water in flint. they said the state should have known this could have happened when they started using water from the flint river. and despite these unequivocal public assurances the water was perfectly safe, government officials it turns out, did know about the lead. the city's own testing found the lead levels going up after they switched to flint river water. then came the blood test results. a local doctor found nearly twice as many babies and kids in flint had elevated levels of lead in their blood as kids from other places. in some neighborhoods it was nearly three times as many kid, all since the city switched the water. and all that lead flowing in the bloodstreams of children and the babies of flint, it puts them at risk for sickness and las

and i also don't like that they were using pipe bombs.t is sort of the worst explosive you can -- they rarely go off. they're unreliable. and clearly the command detonated bomb was wasted in their minds. and so i think these were almost want-to-bes, self-recruited, maybe inspired as peter said by somebody in the middle east. but so far there's no indication this was directed from an organized group. >> go ahead, evan. >> one of the great revelations in the terrorism game in the last few years has been this idea that you can do this self-directed, do it yourself, diy type terrorism attack. and that's the kind of thing we're seeing. it's becoming especially because they seem to inspire each other, as peter was just referring to. and i think it's an innovation that makes it harder and harder -- >> isis has said on social media many times if you can't come to iraq and syria to kill the infid infidel, kill them at home. do whatever you can, use a bomb, gun, drive a car, use a knife, whatever you can. they've said that repeatedly. guys, standby

19 pipe bombs but 19 pipes found in the house. both subjects had gone to local target practice including within days of the event. one reason they are not reopening -- county government has reopened today, they are keeping the inland regional center closed still because they are doing this massive reconstruction with the fbi where they are using surveying techniques to try to recreate what happened. we have no idea. what's happening with surveillance video in the facility, we do know that outside the building there were cameras at least at the intersection there so one would think that those were working there would be some video that they could use involving this. they say there's evidence of preplanning, they don't know if anything else is involved. evidence of financing perhaps they don't know if anyone else is involved. no evidence yet of some sort of bigger international plot, no evidence of suicide vests. still going through the video. as for the atf, atf's john deangelo, five guns now, that was news to me. i knew there were

but you have information on the pipe bombs in the yellow bags.hat that is. >> hi, don, certainly. the yellow bag contained several pipes that were put together. the suspicion was that they contained explosive powder or built up pipe bombs. we are learning tonight that that in fact is not the case. i reported last night, what's important is what is missing from that bag. i see no wires or nothing like that. but once the investigators got into it and the bomb technicians disassembled those devices, they were empty. that doesn't really change anything. because i'm being told that the pipes had drill holes in them. they were ready to be filled with explosive powders that were present at the residence. so we have a combination of parts ready to assemble. >> does this mean that this plan was accelerated the fact that they were empty and they had the explosive things with them? >> what it tells me is there was something bigger planned or there was some plan in the works that for whatever reason it may have got accelerated. if you remember at the center,
