Home Mother : Co Workers Of Farook

“The gunpowder was still lingering in the air as San Bernardino Police Lt. Mike Madden and three other officers approached a conference center where a mass shooting had been reported. Bodies had fallen outside the meeting room in San Bernardino, California,” what these officers experienced on that Thursday evening

Over the last decade or so, the United States of America has been shaken by an epidemic of terrifying mass shootings, devastating slayings of unexpecting victims, and unnerving annihilations of the innocent. There is no specific target, no explicitly sought-out group, nor definite individual. From a classroom of first-graders, to a crowded movie theatre, to a U.S. Naval yard, the location seems at most, random, other than that it is almost always a public place. The perpetrators responsible for these horrific murders also vary, and often surprise those who thought they knew them. However, while the occurrences of mass shootings are unpredictable and always shocking, most have one thing in

The San Bernardino shooting was very tragic, with 14 deaths and many more injured. The people that did this, the terrorists were horrible people. They are trying to live out their religion in the wrong

The culprit was Dylann Roof and he used a .45-caliber Glock pistol that he purchased legally(Buchanan). According to Buchanan, two months before Roof purchased a gun, he was charged with a misdemeanor for possessing drugs. "Mr. Roof should have been barred from buying a gun because he had admitted to possessing drugs, but the F.B.I. examiner conducting the required background check failed to obtain the police report from the February incident" (Buchanan). When Roof bought the gun, he should have been stopped but the seller failed to do so. "The young man typically kept to himself but a liter of vodka that night seemed to fuel talk about the return of segregation and vague plans "to start a race war," Meek recalled"(Sanchez). Meek, one of Roof's friends would tell him about how he wanted racism and segregation to come back and to 'start a race war' if that's what it takes. On June 17, 2015, Roof entered a historical black church and killed nine people. According to CNN, the nine victims were Rev. Clementa Pinckney, Tywanza Sanders, Rev. Sharonda Singleton, Cynthia Hurd, Rev. DePayne Middleton-Doctor, Ethel Lance, Susie Jackson, Myra Thompson, and Rev. Daniel Simmons Sr. that survived the shooting but died in surgery. All these people died because one racist shooter wanted to start a 'race war'. Hate crimes are intents in mass shootings but they are not the only intent. Mass shooters are also murderers with mental

On December 2, 2015, Tashfeen Malik and Syed Farook committed an act of terror, killing 14 people and injuring an additional 21 people. The couple was later linked to the terror group ISIS, prompting the FBI to attempt to gather information from Farook’s employer issued phone. The FBI pursued the US District Court of Los Angeles, which subsequently issued an order asserting Apple must provide “reasonable technical assistance” in unlocking the phone by providing three manners of assistance: allowing the government to enter more than 10 passcodes without the phone’s data being wiped, enabling automated entries rather than manual entries, and ridding of the gradually increasing delay system that occurs when multiple wrong

On July 12 in 2016, one of the worst mass shootings in modern United States history took place. The Pulse Nightclub located in Orlando, Florida, was filled with more than 300 people on the night of the incident (BBC, 2016). When the gunman, Omar Mateen, opened fire, he killed 49 clubgoers and injured dozens. The motive of this terrible act of violence was not clear until police found Jihadist propaganda on Mateen’s electronic devices. Officials found out that the gunman acted alone. According to family and friends of Mateen, he was very unstable. His wife, who he

Around 11am Wednesday morning Madden, a dispatch supervisor was on his way to lunch when dispatchers were frantically requesting units to head to the Inland Regional Center where two armed people identified as Syed Rizwan Farook and his wife Tashfeen Malik walked into a holiday party with semiautomatic rifles and pistols, spraying the crowd with scores of bullets. Police still are unsure of the shooters’ motive, but terrorism was likely apart of the killers’ plan. About 80 people were in attendance to this party, most of them were county officials. Late Thursday evening the coroner revealed the names of the people

Domestic Terrorism can be described as many things. The FBI describes domestic terrorism as, “Perpetrated by individuals and/or groups inspired by or associated with primarily U.S.-based movements that espouse extremist ideologies of a political, religious, social, racial, or environmental nature.” People who commit domestic terrorism crimes often have different motives such as: religion, political, and even race. A specific case that resembles this, is the shooting in Las Vegas which occurred on June 8, 2014.

Time after time the news reports another active shooter attacking both hard and soft targets. A snapshot into active shooter incidents provided by the FBI states that there were 160 activate shooters incidents between 2003 and 2013, which averaged to about 11.4 incidents a year; In these 160 incidents there were 1,043 casualties where 486 were killed and 557 were wounded. The FBI notes of the 160 incidents, “an average of 6.4 incidents occurred in the first 7 years studied, and an average of 16.4 occurred in the last 7 years; 70% of the incidents occurred in either a commerce/business or educational environment and the shootings occurred in 40 of the 50 states and the District of Columbia”(https://www.fbi.gov/about-us/office-of-partner-engagement/active-shooter-incidents/a-study-of-active-shooter-incidents-in-the-u.s.-2000-2013 Page 6). Just to list four of the most significant casualties in the FBI’s study are; on July 20, 2012 at the Cinemark Century Theater in Aurora, Colorado there were 12 dead and 58 injured, on April 16, 2007 at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg, Virginia there were 32 dead and 17 injured, on November 5, 2009 at Ft. Hood Soldier Readiness Processing Center in Ft. Hood, Texas there were 13 dead and 32 injured, finally on December 14, 2012 at Sandy Hook Elementary School and the shooter’s parents residences in Newtown, Connecticut there were 27 dead and 2 injured. What actions are need to be

Tashfeen Malik and her husband, Syed Rizwan Farook, who shot at Farook's co-workers at a party in San Bernardino, had stockpiled assault weapons, ammunition, and pipe bombs. So, this was an act of terrorism, designed to kill innocent people. 14 people were left dead.

An even bigger problem is inside members or U.S citizens who have lived here for a while switched over. According to MPR news over 250 American citizens across the nation have joined or attempted to join ISIS. This is the reason why a working sure fire plan needs to be ruled, otherwise the numbers of deaths and shootings just keep rising as we wait to attack. Finally, the resource that has just been in plain site, social media. according to CNN news posts two members from the Isis found out about some kind of convention in texas on twitter, which gave them just the idea they were looking for. later that day, they attacked and ahead of time posted something on twitter saying hashtag texas attack then the actual shooting occurred, and it was absolutely devastating. Thankfully only 12 of the 1000 were killed, but 1 life matters just as much as the next. This is why we need skillful hardworking police force they're just as much as they do after an attack. About a week later I traveled to my cousin's high school graduation in texas that happened to be the same place the attack was. I was shocked at the amount of security in their, but i was also disturbed by the fact that police only add “extra security” after the attack. The reason we have security is to prevent something

On October 1, 2017 America was, yet again, devastated when Las Vegas suffered the United States worst mass shooting. One man killed over 50 people and injured 527. After he was finished firing from the 39th floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort, he committed suicide. His name was Stephan Paddock (Yan and Park). When most people think of a mass shooting, they think of a terroristic act or someone shooting at a large group of innocent citizens, like Columbine High School or Sandy Hook Elementary School. In actuality, most people do not realize that whenever two or more people are injured or killed by a gun, it is considered a mass shooting. These “mass shootings” happen every day in America and they are one of the leading causes of death in

It is often great tragedy that inspires discussion and change in a society. One such event brings a debate over the balance of privacy and security to public attention. Recently in San Bernardino, CA a married couple killed and or wounded 35 people. Chicago born Syed Rizwan Farook was a 5 year employee of the San Bernardino Health Department and had few reported problems with the agency aside from some good natured (acording to his collegues) jokes about his religeous required facial hair. His wife, Tashfeen Malik was born in Pakistan and relocated to the US through a fiance visa later marrying Syed in 2013. On Wednesday December 2nd, 2015 Syed and Tashfeen attended a company event and used several assault rifles and handguns to kill 14 people and wound another 21 people. They subsequently led police on a brief manhunt and later died during a police shoot out at their home.

Months after the deadly offense took place, another planned attack took place. On August 21, 2015, an ISIS accomplice boarded the train carrying an AK-47 assault rifle, a pistol, and many rounds of ammunition with the intent to kill. Luckily, the passengers on board the train were able to render the man incapable of doing what he set out to do. Two of the men that helped take the man down acted as off-duty U.S. military members vacationing in France (Ray, 2016).

The San Bernardino mass shooting that occurred on December 2nd has all Americans panicked and worried. According to Los Angeles Times, Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik, a married couple, opened fire at a holiday party at the Inland Regional Center in
