New photos of the couple behind the mass shooting in Southern California last week show them as they arrived in America through customs, and intelligence officials said Monday that the wife had attended an Islamic religious school while she was living in Pakistan.

ABC News reported the photo it obtained apparently was taken as Tashfeen Malik and Syed Rizwan Farook were going through customs in Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport on July 27, 2014.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection, that airport processes about 15,000 international passengers a day.

The couple killed 14 people at a holiday party in San Bernardino, California, on Dec. 2 at a nonprofit facility that serves people with developmental disabilities.

They died in a shootout with police and are the only suspects in what the Federal Bureau of Investigation has labeled an act of terrorism.

Authorities are still piecing together information on Malik, who lived in Pakistan from 2007 to 2014 before she left for the United States on a fiancee visa.

She studied pharmacy at the Bahauddin Zakariya University in Multan, where she got a degree in 2013.

U.S. officials previously said that Farook, a U.S. citizen originally from Chicago, went to Saudi Arabia in July 2014 and returned less than two weeks later with Malik.

While in Multan, Malik also attended a religious school, which Pakistani intelligence officials on Monday identified it as the Al-Huda International Seminary. The school is a women-only madrassa with a chain across Pakistan and branches in the U.S. and Canada, said the officials, speaking on condition of
anonymity.

A school official said Malik did not finish the program.

The region where the school is located is home to thousands of extremist seminaries, with hundreds of them linked to al-Qaida and the Pakistani Taliban.

Pakistan, which supports Islamic militants battling archrival India in the disputed region of Kashmir and is widely believed to have ties to insurgents in Afghanistan.

“I have talked to her teachers, her classmates and everybody says she was a hardworking, friendly, helpful and obedient student,” school spokeswoman Farrukh Chaudhry told The Associated Press, adding that “no one ever noticed any signs of radicalization.”

ABC also said the Riverside, California home of Enrique Marquez, an old neighbor of Farook, was raided over the weekend. Three law enforcement officials told the network Marquez had purchased the two “assault-style” weapons used in the attack. Marquez bought the weapons in late 2011 and early 2012, one of the officials said.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.
