Federal prosecutors are expected to bring charges against the friend and neighbor of the suspects who killed 14 and wounded 21 others in San Bernardino.
The Washington Post reports that Enrique Marquez will be charged on Thursday for purchasing firearms for Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik, the husband and wife who carried out the attack at the Inland Regional Center.
The 24-year-old wrote a Facebook message that alerted his friends and coworkers.
“I’m. Very sorry sguys. It was a pleasure," he wrote, shortly before checking himself into a local mental health facility, according to the Post.
Investigators told ABC News that Mr Marquez bought the two assault rifles used in the attack nearly three years ago.
The suspect was a longtime friend and neighbor to Farook and told officials that he bought the weapons so Farook would not undergo a background check nor be on record as the purchaser. He also said that the two spoke about the attack in 2010 but called off the shooting due to unrelated arrests associated with suspected terrorists.
The Los Angeles Times reports that Mr Marquez was arrested on Thursday afternoon and may face further charges if he knew the specifics of the massacre.
