The brother-in-law of San Bernardino shooting suspect Syed Farook spoke Wednesday night at a press conference held by the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
"I am very sad, deeply sad and shocked something like this happened here in my community," Farhan Khan said. "I love this country, I'm living in this community for a long time and something like this happened here."
Khan, who is married to Farook's sister, said that he last spoke with his brother-in-law last week and that nothing seemed out of the ordinary then. He said Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, had a baby girl about six months ago, KABC-TV reported.
The couple had taken the baby to drop her off at a relative's home Wednesday morning.
"On behalf of my family, we all are shocked and very sorry for what happened," Khan said. "I have no idea why [Farook] would do that."
Farook was one of three suspects who is believed to have opened fire at a social services facility in San Bernardino, California, Wednesday, killing 14 people and injuring 17.
