Both killers in last week's San Bernardino, California, shooting "were radicalized and have been for quite some time," said David Bowdich, assistant director of the FBI's Los Angeles field office.
Last week's mass killing in San Bernardino, California, was an act of terrorism, law enforcement officials and President Barack Obama agree.
The 14 deaths at a holiday party left the community shaken, but it's become apparent that for shooters Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik, the mass shooting was motivated by political ideologies.
Over the weekend, new details came to light indicating that Farook and Malik, who were husband and wife, supported the ideology of ISIS and were radicalized.
Farook targeted his colleagues Wednesday at a holiday party for the environmental health department, killing 14 people and leaving 21 wounded.
"He said he shared the ideology of (Abu Bakr) al-Baghdadi to create an Islamic state, and he was fixated on Israel," the elder Farook said, referring to the ISIS leader.
