SAN BERNARDINO, Calif.—Federal authorities on Tuesday asked for the public’s help in filling out a gap in the whereabouts of the two assailants after they killed 14 people in last month’s attack in San Bernardino.
David Bowdich, the assistant director in charge of the FBI’s Los Angeles office, reiterated that there’s no evidence that the attack was foreign-directed, but said nothing has been ruled out.
He also said investigators have found no evidence there were any targets other than the Inland Regional Center, where Syed Rizwan Farook, 28, and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, 29, opened fire Dec. 2 on a holiday luncheon gathering of Farook’s co-workers in the county health agency.
Investigators specifically need information about an 18-minute gap in the timeline between the deadly attack at the center and the pursuit and shootout in which both attackers were killed.
Bowdich said investigators want to leave no stone unturned and hope to find out if the assailants contacted anyone or stopped anywhere between 12:59 p.m. and 1:17 p.m. that day. The rest of their movements through the adjacent cities of San Bernardino and Redlands in a rented black Ford Expedition have been tracked, he said.
