Police say they found 12 pipe bomb devices at a California home being searched in connection with a mass shooting as well as hundreds of tools that could be used to make improvised explosive devices.
San Bernardino Police Chief Jarrod Burguan said at a news conference Thursday that the attackers also left a device at the social service center where they opened fire. The device consisted of 3 connected pipe bombs with a remote control that apparently did not work.
NBC News was the first to report that a remote controlled bomb, not unlike those used in the Boston Marathon attack, was left at the scene of the shooting. The remote control detonator apparently failed.
