n Friday, the landlord, who owns the apartment where the Islamic militant couple lived, pried open the front door with camera crews from MSNBC and other networks standing by. What happened next had a police spokesman saying it gave him “chills” just watching it.
In an utterly shocking chain of events, the camera crews “rushed” inside of the apartment, catching the first images of the inside of the killers’ home, and in all likelihood contaminating the scene, reports TheBlaze. The crime scene is still live, and CNN’s law enforcement analyst Harry Houck couldn’t believe how irresponsible the entire ordeal was.

“I don’t see any fingerprint dust on the walls where they went in there and checked for fingerprints for other people that might have been connected with these two,” Houck said. “You’ve got documents laying all over the place; you’ve got shredded documents…You have passports, you’ve got drivers’ licenses — now you have thousands of fingerprints all over inside this crime scene.”
“I am so shocked,” he added. “I cannot believe it.”
It’s not hard to blame him there either. As reporters, they know damn well they shouldn’t have been anywhere near that place, but ethics be damned when it comes to the ratings-hungry idiots trying to get the first look inside.
Apparently, when a journalist for TheBlaze reached out to the San Bernardino County Sheriffs for comment, a spokesman said he was absolutely shocked at what was transpiring at the crime scene of one of the worst terror attacks we’ve seen in recent history. The unidentified press officer said he had “no clue” what was happening and didn’t know who authorized anyone going in there.
I’m not entirely sure what to even say about this. I just can’t imagine these people are seriously that stupid to contaminate a live crime scene, especially considering the magnitude of the case. It’s beyond irresponsible to do such a thing, and I truly hope they get held accountable for doing so. After all, they could have jeopardized the entire investigation with what they did, and it seems like they need to learn a good lesson as a result.
