Syed Farook’s Neighbors Didn’t Report ‘Suspicious Activity’ For Fear of Profiling

Several of Syed Farook‘s neighbors told ABC News they noticed “suspicious activity” at the home of the San Bernardino shooter, as well as his mother’s home at another location. No reports were made, however, for fear of being accused of racial profiling.

One of Farook’s neighbors told ABC 7 Los Angeles that “he was friendly” and “good with children.” Another seemed dumbfounded, saying he “just wouldn’t expect” Farook to commit a mass shooting.

Dane Adams mentioned a police presence at what looked like a “domestic violence dispute” a few months prior. Otherwise, he said, nothing happened in or around the house to indicate what happened on Wednesday.

At Farook’s mother’s house, however, neighbor Aaron Elswick recalled another neighbor noticing “quite a few packages” arriving “within a short amount of time.”

“They were actually doing a lot of work out in the garage,” he said, adding that the neighbor “was kind of suspicious” and “wanted to report it” but “didn’t want to profile” Farook and his family.
