The brother-in-law of one of the suspects says he was stunned to hear of his relative's involvement in Wednesday's shooting.

Farhan Khan, who is married to the sister of Syed Farook, spoke to reporters at the Anaheim office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

Khan says other family members asked him to speak at the news conference, and to express their sadness over the shootings.

 

7:40 p.m.

A law enforcement official has identified Syed Farook as one of the suspects in a mass shooting in Southern California.

Meredith Davis, a spokeswoman with ATF, told KCAL9-TV the two suspects who died in a shootout with police after the mass killing in California were each armed with a long gun and a handgun.

They were wearing tactical-style clothing that was "loaded with magazines for a gunfight," she said Wednesday.

Davis said the suspects also threw a thick-gauge copper pipe out of the SUV, but no explosives were found inside.
