That was back in the summer of 2014.

Now, we did hear from the head of the FBI earlier this week who testified before Congress saying that as part of the investigation into the shooting officials are discovering that Tashfeen Malik and the other killer, Syed Rizwan Farook had communicated online as early as 2013 discussing jihad and martyrdom.
