CALIFORNIA — CBS News has released photos from the home of the husband and wife who went on a deadly shooting rampage in California on Wednesday.

Police say Syed Rizwan Farook, 28, and his wife, 27-year-old Tashfeen Malik killed 14 people at a Christmas party before being shot and killed in a firefight with police.

Neighbors have claimed that the couple had been acting suspiciously recently.

Locals said they were apparently working late at night in their garage and receiving numerous packages to their home in Redlands, California.

According to nearby residents, they did not report them for fear of racial profiling.

The photos show a remote controlled toy car with a device intended to be the ignition source and three pipes connected to it and wires. Also, a duffel bag filled with what appears to be explosives.

It has since emerged the couple had 12 pipes bombs, a stock pile of tools to assemble explosives, 2,000 9mm rounds, and over 2,500 223 rounds in their suburban home.

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.

Aaron Elswick, whose friend lives on the street, told KTLA a neighbor described her regret at not reporting Farook and Malik.

‘Sounds like she didn’t do anything about it,’ Elswick said.

‘She didn’t want to do any kind of racial profiling. She’s like, ‘I didn’t call it in … maybe it was just me thinking something that’s not there.’

Those who knew Farook, among them his colleagues at the San Bernardino County Public Health Department, described him as a devout Muslim but not someone who often talked about religion.

‘He never struck me as a fanatic, he never struck me as suspicious,’ said Griselda Reisinger, a former colleague.
