美国警方确认2名南加州枪击案嫌犯身份

San Bernardino Police Chief Jarrod Burguan said at a news briefing that the 2 dead suspects were identified as a man and a woman who were both in their late twenties.

"The first man has been identified as Syed Rizwan Farook. He is 28 years old. I am told that he is US-born. The person that was with him is a female, she is deceased as well. Her name is Tashfeen Malik. She is 27 years old. "
He added that both of the two were heavily armed with fire weapons, and that a suspected explosive device was also found in the Inland Regional Center.

A detail has also been revealed that Farook left the holiday party early under circumstances that were described as angry, which might have been a key factor leading to the mass shooting.

The tragedy has sparked wide condolences and condemnation.
Farook's brother-in-law Farhan Khan expressed his grief at the incident.

"I just cannot express how sad I am for what happened today. I am.., condolences to the people who lost their life, I am very sad that people lost their life, that there are victims out there I wish speed recovery to them, again I am in shock that something like this could happen. "

He added that he was still in shock and had no idea why Farook would do such a thing.

For his part, U.S. President Barack Obama called on lawmakers to take steps to stop such tragedies from happening again.

"My hope is that we're able to contain this particular shooting and, and we don't yet know what the motives of the shooters are, but what we do know is, is that there are steps we can take to make Americans safer and that we should come together in a bipartisan basis at every level of government to make these rare as opposed to normal. We should never think that this is something that just happens in the ordinary course of events, because it doesn't happen with the same frequency in other countries."

The state's Muslim community has also condemned the incident.
