ByAmandaLeeMyers TheAssociatedPress LOS ANGELES Specializeddivers with the FBI searched a San Ber- nardino lake for a second day Fri- day, looking for a computer hard drive and any other evidence linked to last week's terror attack and the husband-and-wife shoot- ers who killed 14 people. Investigators have said the kill- ers tried to cover their tracks by destroying emails, cellphones and other items at their home in Red- lands. They were tipped that the small lake in a park about 3 miles from the terror attack might hold the hard drive, according to a law enforcement official briefed on the investigation but not autho- rized to speak publicly about the case. The search began Thursday af- ter authorities learned the shoot- ers, Syed Rizwan Farook, 28, and Tashfeen Malik, 29, may have been in the area the day of the attack, said David Bowdich, chief of the FBI's Los Angeles office. He said the search could last several days. SAN BERNARDINO FBIcontinues probe of lake in shootings By Heather Hoelscher hhoelscher@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Heather on Twitter CORNING The City Council was scheduled Friday to approve the compensation plan, and a wage increase, for new City Manager Kristina Miller but decided to bring the topic back in three months after an employee eval- uation is done. Miller said she was uncomfort- able discussing or negotiating her wages in a public setting, which the meeting was, but was fine with the city waiting three months to approve the compensation plan. The proposed increase of base wages, presented in a memoran- dum of understanding, was a 2.5 percent increase effective on the start of the first pay period in 2016 and a .5 percent increase beginning in the last pay period of December 2016. The first pay period in 2016 will be the first pay period for Miller in her new position as city manager. CORNING Council delays decision on new city manager raise Staff Report RED BLUFF In the early hours of Friday morning a teenager and his friend were parked at Main Street Auto Spa when they were reportedly approached by two un- known men, one of whom had a semi-automatic pistol. The two suspects came up to the car around 12:45 a.m. Friday and one knocked on the driver's side window and made a racial statement, according to a press release issued Friday by the Red Bluff Police Department. The driver, Joshua Coley, 19, of Red Bluff said he noticed the man was holding a gun. Coley was able to quickly drive from the area but the two suspects entered a dark colored Volkswa- gen Jetta that was parked nearby and began to follow him and his friend, according to the release. The two teens drove to the po- lice department and once they ar- rived the two suspects sped away from the area, the release said. An extensive search for the ve- hicle was conducted by police of- ficers and Tehama County Sher- iff's deputies, but the vehicle was not found. The suspect reported to have a gun was described as a white man, around 20-30 years old, wearing a black zip-up hooded sweatshirt, black pants and had a black ski mask covering his nose and mouth, according to the re- lease. He was armed with the fire- arm described as possibly a black 9 mm semi-automatic handgun with silver or gray on the top slide of the gun. The second suspect was de- scribed as a white man, who was wearing a black shirt or sweater with a white design on it and baggy blue jeans. Anyone with information re- garding this incident is asked to call the Red Bluff Police Depart- ment at 527-3131.
