Surreal tragedy slightly impossible but undeniable connections to the September 11, 2001 World Trade Center bombings. Pete Bennett met Mr. Marshall several times in Walnut Creek where he would drop in - the conversation was valid as Marshall knew of events in Cape Coral Florid, Sanibel Island and Ft. Myers
LA Times: Two guns recovered from suspects were purchased legally, federal officials say
Two guns recovered from suspects were purchased legally, federal officials say
Meredith Davis, a spokeswoman for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms and Explosives, said officials had "successfully traced" the
four guns recovered in connection with the San Bernardino shooting and
determined that two of the weapons were purchased legally.
The guns were bought by an individual associated with the investigation, Davis said but declined to name the person.
"Agents continue to investigate leads concerning the two additional firearms," Davis said.
Police officials said that two suspects, Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik, were armed with two assault rifles and two semiautomatic handguns.
The assault rifles were a .223-caliber DPMS Model A15 and a Smith and Wesson M&P15. One of the handguns was manufactured by Llama, and the other by Smith and Wesson.

Farook traveled to Saudi Arabia, was married and seemed to be living 'American dream,' co-workers say
Farook traveled to Saudi Arabia, was married and seemed to be living 'American dream,' co-workers say
Shooting suspect Syed Farook, a health inspector with San Bernardino
County’s public health department, joined dozens of his colleagues at a
party Wednesday morning at the Inland Regional Center. He disappeared
shortly before the mass shooting erupted.
Farook, 28, who had worked for the county for five years, "did leave the party early under circumstances described as 'angry,'" San Bernardino police Chief Jarrod Burguan said at a news conference late Wednesday night.
Burguan said law enforcement officials are "reasonably confident" that Farook and 27-year-old Tashfeen Malik, who was his wife or fiancee, were the two suspects in the mass shooting that occurred during the party.
Family members told the Los Angeles Times that the couple had been married for two years.
Co-workers told The Times that they were shocked to hear Farook’s name linked to the shooting. Two employees who were in the bathroom when the bullets began to fly said he was quiet and polite, with no obvious grudges.
They said Farook had recently traveled to Saudi Arabia and returned with a woman he'd met online. The couple had a baby and appeared to be “living the American dream,” said Patrick Baccari, a fellow inspector who shared a cubicle with Farook.
Baccari and Christian Nwadike said Farook, who had worked with them for about three years, rarely started a conversation. But he was well-liked.
They and other colleagues said Farook was a devout Muslim who rarely discussed religion at work.

Accenture Empire Strikes - The San Bernardino Tragedies
https://www.accenture.com/us-en/success-san-bernardino-county-calfresh-fraud-analytics.aspx
The San Bernardino County Transitional Assistance Department (TAD) chose to work with Accenture to gain greater efficiency and effectiveness in identifying fraud and non-compliance among CalFresh participants. The team built analytic models that would strengthen detection, improve prevention and maximize insights. For example, the team would run models on the all cases, score and rank the cases and look deeper at the top 10 percent to see if there was a high number of known fraud cases appearing at the top of the list. After refining the model and changing algorithms based on the findings, the team saw a major leap in the “hit rate” of fraudulent cases—moving from 6.1 percent to 20.8 percent.
