— -- Investigators are working to piecing together an 18-minute gap in the timeline of the San Bernardino shooters' actions the day of the massacre, FBI Assistant Director in Charge David Bowdich said today.

Investigators are asking for the public's help to place the suspects, Tashfeen Malik and Syed Farook, from 12:59 p.m. to 1:17 p.m. -- after the shooting on Dec. 2, 2015. Fourteen people died in the rampage and the suspects were killed in a shootout with police.

Bowdich said investigators do not see any indications of a foreign-directed terrorist attack. The attack seems to be an "inspired" terrorist attack, he said.
