President Barack Obama will give a nationally televised address Sunday on the shooting rampage that killed 14 people in California, as U.S. authorities pursue evidence that the attack was an act of terrorism that may have been inspired by Islamic State.
In remarks from the Oval Office at 8 p.m. in Washington on Sunday, Obama will talk “about the steps our government is taking to fulfill his highest priority: keeping the American people safe” as well as the “ongoing investigation into the tragic attack in San Bernardino,” and “the broader threat of terrorism,” White House press secretary Josh Earnest said Saturday in an e-mailed statement.
