In California, federal officials have indicted 24-year-old Enrique Marquez for several terrorism-related charges, claiming Marquez purchased the firearms involved in the December 2 mass shooting at the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino, California. Authorities say Marquez is the neighbor and friend of shooting suspect Syed Rizwan Farook and that the two allegedly talked about radical Islamist ideas together. United States Attorney Eileen Decker said in a statement: “While there currently is no evidence that Mr. Marquez participated in the Dec. 2 attack or had advance knowledge of it, his prior purchase of the firearms and ongoing failure to warn authorities about Farook’s intent to commit mass murder had fatal consequences.” The charges come one day after FBI Director James Comey said that there remains no evidence either of the suspects in the San Bernardino shooting had any direct contact with any terrorist organizations. Comey also said suspect Tashfeen Malik did not pledge allegiance to ISIS on social media, contrary to widespread previous reports citing unnamed government officials.
