Near the Farook family home in Riverside, south of San Bernardino, my colleague Tom Dart has interviewed a neighbor about the couple who killed 14 people on Wednesday.
A neighbour at the former Farook family home on a street of mostly modest single-storey homes in Riverside, a city south of San Bernardino, was incredulous that one of them could be a suspect in a massacre.
“It was them, for sure?” said the man, who refused to give his name. When the news broke, he said, “I never thought it [could be] them.”
He described the family, who no longer live there, as generally quiet - though recalled one time when the police were called to a domestic incident involving the suspect’s parents which, he said, prompted Farook’s father, also named Syed, to go to Pakistan for a while after his wife accused him of violent behaviour.
Court documents support the neighbor’s account, with Farook’s mother alleging that her husband – now her ex- – physically abused her, sometimes in front of their three children.
