From the Daily Mail:
San Bernardino gunman Syed Farook met his Pakistani wife-turned-accomplice Tashfeen Malik while on the hajj in Saudi Arabia and appeared to be radicalized, law enforcement officials revealed this afternoon.
Investigators told CNN that Farook, a native US citizen of South Asian descent, was in touch by phone and via social media with more than one international terrorism subject.
On Wednesday morning, Farook, 28, and Malik, 27, dropped off their six-month-old baby with Farook’s mother, saying they were going to a doctor’s appointment.
By noon, according to police, the couple had donned assault clothing, armed themselves with rifles and stormed a holiday party attended by San Bernardino County employees, killing 14 people and wounding 17 others.
According to some reports, the duo had GoPro cameras strapped to their body armor during the shooting.
Before sunset, after a massive manhunt and a violent shootout with police on a residential street, they were both dead, leaving a grieving community with few clues to puzzle out the motive for the carnage.AND THEN THERE'S THIS:

Only six identified so far...2 fatal, 4 not fatal
I've been at work today and spending a lot of time convincing adults that what happened in San Bernardino was Islamic jihad.
The question I kept getting from folks: "It is officially terrorism?"
To hell with officially! Look at the damn evidence!
Radicalized "online"...B.S.!
There was a time gap between the terror assault and the terrorists ultimate demise:
About four hours after the morning carnage, police hunting for the killers riddled a black SUV with gunfire in a shootout 2 miles from the social services center in this Southern California city of 214,000 people. via YahooNews
That gap in time was enough to upload any video captured on their GoPro devices, assuming they weren't broadcasting live via WiFi. - suggesting this couple was actively participating in efforts to further 'radicalize online' those with a curiosity and proclivity to mimic the very prophet "uswa hasana, al-insan al-kamil" "...the Perfect Man (al-insan al-kamil), the Model of Conduct (uswa hasana), and one that most of us find quite different from that of Abraham, Moses, Jesus and his apostles or Buddha.
In Islam, the true object of worship is Islam itself, and the central figure of Islam is not Allah, but Muhammad. The morality of Islam is the morality of Muhammad. And that is to be found in the Sunnah, which for many Muslims is at least as important, and in some cases appears to be more important for the regulation of daily life, than the Qur’an itself."
So,
Where were they during that four hour gap? Who provided them sanctuary and where? In a mosque? In a muhammedan residence? Was it with any of the "ME type" men that were at the dead mujahid's home at all hours before the jihad?
Easy to anticipate there were plenty of options given the area hosts a half dozen mosques and Islamic centers which indoctrinate/radicalize from birth as much if not more than any internet access could.
What spooked them to surface while authorities were still swarming the location?
The police went to their house. It's in the news reports.
I truly appreciate your thoughts on this. Certainly, we do need to find out what they were doing. But they were at the house.
Here's a report from Breitbart:
3:20 pm – Based on a tip, police head to a house in Redlands. They identify a black SUV they had been searching for, and a high speed pursuit ensued heading back into the city of San Bernardino. More than 20 police officers were involved in a gun battle with suspects. One suspect, the male, got out of the car and was shot dead. The other suspect, a woman, was shot inside the vehicle. Each suspect had a rifle and a handgun. Police later reveal the SUV driven in the chase had been rented by the suspects three or four days earlier.

Probably after questioning some of the survivors rescued from the Inland Regional Center.
