The shooters fled in a black SUV after the rampage at about 11 a.m. (2 p.m. ET) inside the Inland Regional Center, a state-run center for people with developmental disabilities in San Bernardino, about 55 miles east of downtown Los Angeles, police said.

Seventeen other people were wounded, they said. Authorities said that no motive had been determined and that terrorism had not been ruled out.

Details:
--The shooting erupted during a holiday party in a conference room. Fourteen people were killed. 
--At least 10 of the 17 wounded are in critical condition. 
--Police shot two suspects after a high-speed chase in a shootout hours later. 
  They were identified as   a man Syed Rizwan Farook, 28, and a woman, Tashfeen Malik, 27. 
--The suspects were killed. 
--A third person seen fleeing from the scene of the shootout is in custody. 
--A police officer was wounded in the shootout.

Police said "explosive devices" were found inside the resource center during a secondary sweep and that they were rendered safe.

Marybeth Feild, president of the center's board of trustees, said the gunfire erupted in a conference room where the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health was holding a banquet.

About 4½ hours after the shootings, police checking a lead in the nearby town of Redlands began chasing a car believed to be related to the incident, San Bernardino Police Chief Jarrod Burguan said.

The chase led back to San Bernardino, where two people described as suspects — a man and a woman — were killed, he said.
