US EditionOn This Day, Dec. 2: Mass shooting kills 14 at San Bernardino, Calif., workplace
Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik killed 14 people at a San Bernardino social services workplace before dying in a police shootout, police said.
- On Dec. 2, 2015, San Bernardino County restaurant inspector Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik opened fire at a Division of Environmental Health Services meeting at the Inland Regional Center, killing 14 and wounding 22 before dying in a police shootout.
- Investigators found the pair had been self-radicalized online and spoke about jihad and martyrdom before meeting, and the FBI reported they trained at Los Angeles-area ranges days before last week’s attack.
- Coworkers and relatives who spoke to the FBI said Syed Rizwan Farook's demeanor changed about three months ago, and he had at least one workplace conflict that San Bernardino County knew about.
- Public mourning began on Dec. 2, 2025, at the Curtain of Courage memorial in San Bernardino, where about 100 visitors and family members of victims gathered at the site opened by San Bernardino County in 2022.
- Public records and investigators classify the San Bernardino attack as both terrorism and a workplace shooting, with the FBI ruling Farook and Malik homegrown terrorists and the Violence Project database showing workplace shootings exceed 29% of cases.
