Lawmakers to hold hearing on response to San Bernardino terror attack

State lawmakers want to see if lessons can be learned from the way first-responders reacted to the San Bernardino terror attack that killed 14 people last year.

Assemblyman Freddie Rodriguez, who chairs a joint legislative committee on emergency management, has called a hearing for Friday to learn what worked in the moments after a husband-and-wife couple inspired by Muslim extremists opened fire on a Dec. 2 luncheon for county health inspectors.

Rodriguez says a similar hearing after the 2013 shooting of a Transportation Security Administration worker at Los Angeles International Airport prodded lawmakers to pass legislation requiring agencies to cooperate on active shooter training.

Sheriff’s officials and emergency room doctor Michael Neeki are expected to testify at the informational hearing in San Bernardino.
