Rory Carroll and Yvette Cabrera in San Bernardino, and Paul Lewis in San Francisco recount what we know about how the shooting unfolded. Here’s an excerpt:
Police were already acting on a tip, and within the hour would descend on a property registered to Farook in the nearby city of Redlands, about five miles (8km) away from the Inland Regional Center.
For the second time that day, Farook and Malik escaped in their black SUV. They were heading back into San Bernadino, and toward the building complex where they killed more than a dozen people hours earlier.
For a few tense minutes, the vehicle sped through San Bernadino’s palm-tree lined streets, with police in pursuit – and live TV helicopters hovering overhead.
The suspects’ vehicle stopped in a hail of gunfire less than two miles from the Inland Regional Center. Some witnesses described hearing explosions and what appeared to be “thousands of rounds”. Burguan would later describe the actions of his officers as “flat-out heroic”.
When TV cameras zoomed in to capture the aftermath, they showed a bullet-riddled SUV with shot-out windows wedged between two armored police vehicles.
At least one of the suspects appeared to be lying on the ground beside a pool of blood. The other was still inside the SUV. Farook and Malik were dressed in the assault-style clothing worn by the attackers who stormed the office party four hours earlier.
Police detained a third potential suspect on a nearby street, but as of late Tuesday, had still had not determined whether the man was involved in the attack.
Burguan and other police and FBI officials said they were trying to piece together how the attack had unfolded – and why.

Staff from San Bernardino coroner’s office have begun an investigation at the scene of the shooting. The identities of the victims will be released after the next of kin have been informed, spokesman Kevin Lacy tweeted.
But, please remember, we won't be releasing any of that until we have notified families. They deserve to hear from us first. (2/2)

The two dead suspects, Syed Farook and his partner Tashfeen Malik, dropped off their six-month-old daughter with Farook’s mother in Redlands, according to the LA Times, citing Hussam Ayloush, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations’ Los Angeles office.
The grandmother grew worried when she heard of the shooting attack in San Bernardino, and “she started calling. No answer,” Ayloush said.
Farook was born in Illinois, and his parents immigrated to the US from Southeast Asia, Ayloush said.
Farook had left a party at his work with fellow public health employees of San Bernardino county. Police said he was angry and left early only to return with his partner. Both were heavily armed.
To repeat police and Farook’s family are puzzled by the motive for the shooting.
San Bernardino police chief Jarrod Burguan said: “We do not have a motive.” He told the media the shooters had entered the center “as if on a mission”, adding: “They came in with a purpose ... We have no information to indicate that this is terrorism in the traditional
