Local law enforcement and the FBI just wrapped up a news conference detailing the latest on yesterday’s shooting in San Bernardino and this caught our eye. Suspect Tashfeen Malik — wife of Syed Rizwan Farook — was in the U.S. on a K-1 Visa (Nonimmigrant Visa for a Fiancé) and a Pakistani passport:

Woman involved in #SanBernadinoShooting held a K1 Visa. Certainly we should expect to see #GOP support for temp freeze of K1 Visa process?

FBI spokesperson calls this "obvious preplanning." Syed is a US citizen, his wife is on a K1 Visa. Got married here after returning in 2014.

The FBI has yet to determine a clear motive, but Jake Tapper did report a possible connection to known terrorists. A real shocker, we know:
Farook was in touch with more than one terrorism subject whom the FBI were already investigating, law enforcement sources tell CNN
— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) December 3, 2015
Law enforcement sources tell Brown/Perez: Syed Farook appears to have been radicalized, thou workplace grievances may also have played role
— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) December 3, 2015
Over to you, FBI. How’d they miss these guys?
