The Guardian and the LA Times, citing police officials, report authorities are searching for an SUV that was used to flee the scene. Police confirm a suspect was seen wearing what is being described as "tactical gear." The attackers used "long guns, not handguns," San Bernardino Police Chief Jarrod Burguan said in the news conference.
