Malik posted ISIS pledge to Facebook during the attack

10:45 a.m.

The woman who helped her husband kill 14 people at holiday party in California praised the leader of the Islamic State group in a Facebook post just minutes into the attack.

A Facebook executive told The Associated Press that Tashfeen Malik posted the material under an alias account at 11 a.m. Wednesday. That was about the time the first 911 calls came in and when the couple were believed to have stormed into the San Bernardino social service center and opened fire.

The executive spoke on condition of anonymity because this person was not allowed under corporate policy to be quoted by name.

The company discovered the Facebook account Thursday. It removed the profile from public view and reported its contents to law enforcement.

I think there are 2 shooters roaming free. There were 3 shooters, and the wife was probably NOT one of them -- sounds like she was in the car, waiting for them, posting to faceBook.

What happened in the 4 hours between the shooting and finding them at the apartment? Did the other two shooters leave, get off scot free?

I'm very skeptical.

However, being inspired by something is very different than actually receiving material support. So far I haven't heard of any evidence of that.
