Law enforcement has been very reluctant to release the names of any of the suspects in today’s mass shooting in San Bernardino, but reporters who have been sitting on the information for hours have a last named a suspect: Syed Farook, a U.S. citizen. Rumor is that ABC’s Brian Ross has already searched Tea Party membership rolls across the country and come up empty.

Another case of workplace violence, with tactical gear for good measure? Or a coordinated terrorist attack? Is there a difference?

Update:
For those who were still hesitating to assume too much about the suspect:
#SyedFarook's father: “He was very religious. He would go to work, come back, go to pray, come back. He’s Muslim.”https://t.co/1S5o1UEy9n

@IAMMGraham Well, there's the problem. He *prayed*. Obviously a right wing nut job.

SB police clarifying that 2nd name was not released by them. Appears now to be a hoax. We are disregarding.
