First photo of woman San Bernardino shooter

Posted

The first photo of the woman San Bernardino shooter has been released.

ABC News reports that Tashfeen Malik posted a pledge of allegiance to ISIS around the time she and her husband killed 14 people Wednesday.

Malik was born in Pakistan and moved to Saudi Arabia 25 years ago when she was about four years old. She moved back and forth between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, according to a source close to the Saudi Arabian government.

She was said to be a brilliant student and was not known to have religious or political affiliation while there, said ABC News.

Malik came to the U.S. on what is known as a "fiance" visa. This allows an American fiance to petition for his or her partners entry into the country before marriage. For the visa application, the address she listed in her Pakistani hometown, ABC News discovered today, does not exist.
