Enrique Marquez connected to San Bernardino shooter
By Adrianna Martinez
The investigation surrounding the terrorist attack in San Bernardino has taken authorities as far away to Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. But a former Walmart employee who lived next door to Syed Rizwan Farook's boyhood home is at the center of the investigation. Enrique Marquez purchased a pair of rifles that were used in the attack that killed 14 people. Marquez told authorities he did purchase the rifles but also he and Farook planned a 2012 attack plot. They did not carry out with the plan because they were scared of FBI arrests of 4 people charged with attempting to go abroad and commit jihad. Authorities are trying to determine if what Marquez said is true but they also believe he is trying to deflect his role in helping buy weapons that Farook later used. If what Marquez said is true then that is very scary because they could have caused more destruction and deaths if they carried out the plan in 2012. The San Bernardino attack is similar to the Sandy Hook attack, and the Oregon college shooting.
