Armed and Dangerous: The FBI is treating the mass shooting in San Bernardino, Calif. as a potential case of terrorism but has come to no conclusions. Investigators are looking into the possibility that the suspects Syed Farook, 28, and Tashfeen Malik, 27, who were killed in a gun battle, had recently been in contact with Muslim extremists.

But an odd fact in the massacre is that when the couple entered a holiday party for Farook’s office colleagues with guns blazing, they shot the managers first.

The couple killed by police after Wednesday’s shooting rampage had stashed thousands of rounds of ammunition and a dozen pipe bombs in their Redlands home, investigators say. An arsenal. Police found 2,000 9-millimeter handgun rounds, and 2,500 .223-caliber assault rifle rounds, suggesting that the attackers of the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino may have had additional plans.

Farook and Malik also had 1,400 assault rifle rounds and 200 handgun rounds in their car when they died in a shootout with the cops. They fired 76 rounds at the police and were met with a fusillade of 380 rounds in return.

The couple’s motive is a touchy issue. The “wood,’ the giant headline on the cover of today’s NY Post says “TERRORIST.” Yesterday it was “MUSLIM KILLERS.”

Shooting Stats: The NY Times notes that in 209 out of 336 days this year, at least one shooting in the US left four or more people injured or dead. Small-scale mass shootings are so common they don’t make national news.

Equal Fights: Defense Secretary Ashton Carter yesterday ordered the military to open all combat position positions to women, in particular ignoring a request by the Marine Corps to be an exception.

This means women will be pounding the ground, driving tanks, and joining Special Ops, if they can make the grade. Carter said assignments must be made according to ability, not gender.

The Marines had argued that studies revealed to them that male/female units were not as effective. Carter said the integration of women will be methodical and deliberate.

Dark as a Dungeon: Coal mining executive Donald Blankenship, 65, was convicted yesterday of conspiring to dodge mine safety standards, resulting in the West Virginia mine explosion that killed 29 workers in 2010. As the former CEO of Massey Energy, Blankenship is the most senior coal executive ever convicted of criminal safety violations. He was not convicted of directly causing the deaths of employees and his conviction is a misdemeanor, punishable by only up to one year in prison.

The families of dead miners sat in front of the court, heads bowed in prayer moments before the jury was read.

The disaster happened at the Upper Big Branch mine, operated by Massey. Blankenship was portrayed in testimony as such a micromanager that he demanded progress reports from the mine every 30 minutes, including on weekends.

Off the Bus: Scott Weiland, the drug troubled former lead singer for the 90s band Stone Temple Pilots, died in his sleep in an RV in Bloomington, Minn., where he was on tour with his current band, the Wildabouts. He was 48.

The Pilots were a wildly popular alternative band, but critics accused them of being a rip-off of Pearl Jam and Soundgarden. After repeated bouts with drug and alcohol addiction, Weiland was kicked out of the band he had founded.

Red Card: Federal prosecutors yesterday opened an indictment charging 16 more members of the world soccer body FIFA with corruption. Some are charged with obstructing justice in the investigation while others are accused of taking bribes to assign television rights for soccer matches. One of the indicted people is a former president of Honduras. For the second time Swiss police arrested some of the accused at the swanky Baur au Lac hotel in Geneva. You’d think those guys would avoid the place by now.
