SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. — A heavily armed man and woman terrorized this city
on Wednesday, killing at least 14 people and wounding at least 17 at a
social services center before leading the police on a manhunt
culminating in a shootout that left the two suspects dead, the authorities said.
Panic, chaos and rumor gripped this largely working-class community about 60 miles east of Los Angeles as the attackers carried out the nation’s worst mass shooting since the assault on an elementary school in Newtown, Conn., nearly three years ago.
