The brother-in-law of Syed Rizwan Farook, one of the San Bernardino shooting suspects, addressed the public on Wednesday night during a press conference held by Council on American-Islamic Relations.
“I just cannot express how sad I am for what happened today,” Farhan Khan told reporters on Wednesday. “I express my condolences to the people who lost their life.”
Khan said that he last spoke to Farook about a week ago. And when asked if his brother-in-law was religious, Khan told reporters that he didn’t have a comment.
“I have no idea — why would he do that?” he said. “Why would he do something like this? I have absolutely no idea, I am in shock myself.”
Farook was identified by police as one of the suspects who carried out a deadly shooting in San Bernardino, leaving 14 people dead. Police identified Tashfeen Malik as the second shooting suspect, who was Farook’s wife or finacee.
