MOSCOW (Sputnik) — According to The Los Angeles Times newspaper’s Saturday report, the officials have been trying to get in touch with the man to discuss how much he knew about the shooting. It is not yet clear whether he was linked to the incident or knew what the shooter did with the weapons.
On Wednesday, a shooting at San Bernardino's Inland Regional Center killed 14 people, and injured over 20 others. Police identified the shooters as a US-born man of Pakistani origin, Syed Farook, and his Pakistani wife Tashfeen Malik.
Later media reports claimed that Farook and Malik had contacts with Islamist organizations, including the al-Qaeda-affiliated Nusra Front and the IS (Daesh in the Arab world), which is outlawed in many countries including Russia.
