Summary: Tashfeen Malik declared her allegiance to the leader of ISIS on the day of the massacre in California. Although there is no clear line showing the involvement of ISIS in the attack, it is suggested that the terrorist group ordered the attack. The attack, which took place at the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino, ended with fourteen killed and twenty one injured. The shooters, Malik and her husband, died in a police shootout after the attack. It is said that Malik was living in Saudi Arabia when she met her husband and was a stay at home mom. The couple left their six month old daughter at home with her grandmother the day of the shooting.
Analysis: Other sources I've read have also told me that the victims of the shooting held a baby shower for the couple just months before the shooting took place. I honestly don't know what to make of this or how to move forward. There doesn't seem to be a clear solution to any of the problems revolving ISIS or other terrorist groups, especially when we remember that situations like this happen on a regular basis, whether it's on American soil or overseas.

This is so tragic and truly very upsetting. I can't believe victims held a baby shower for the people possibly responsible for their deaths.
