“They came prepared,” San Bernardino police Chief Jarrod Burguan said Wednesday of the shooters in the deadly rampage at the Inland Regional Center.

In a news conference Thursday morning, Burguan laid out what investigators have discovered thus far at multiple crime scenes: the mass shooting site at the center; the location of the end of the pursuit that led to a fatal police shootout with the suspects; and the Redlands home rented by shooters Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik.

“There appears to be a degree of planning that went into this,” Burguan said. “Nobody just gets upset at a party, goes home and puts together that kind of an elaborate scheme or plan.”

“Clearly, they were equipped and they could have continued to do another attack,” Burguan added. “We intercepted them before that happened, obviously.”
