UPDATE 1:12 AM EST:
The name of the second shooter was released in the press conference, and it’s not what was reported earlier by many on social media:
SB Chief: 21 officers involved gun battle with suspects. Suspects are Syed Farook, 28. Tashfeen Malik, 27. Both dead.

Below is the original, erroneous report:
The name of the second shooter has been released, and they’re not an American citizen:

Well that should sum it up. Latest #SanBernadino suspect is Tayyeep Bin Ardogan, a 28 year-old Qatar citizen. And Obama wants more refugees.

The other perp, Syed Farook, is a devout Muslim, and an American citizen, raised here. The neighbors have said that recently Middle Eastern men arrived at the home, and they had been working on something all night, and receiving many packages.
Qatar is one of the Middle Eastern Muslim allies of the United States, and you might remember it as the country that said it would keep watch over the released 5 Gitmo terrorists, and where clockboy said he would retire to.
So. That happened.
We had a post about how the shooting developed here.
UPDATE!!
Apparently this is a hoax. Reporter Rick Serrano later deleted the tweet:

Great, thanks!!
SB police clarifying that 2nd name was not released by them. Appears now to be a hoax. We are disregarding.

We apologize for the error.
