In remarks in the Oval Office, Obama said the attack was an example of "home-grown extremism" that wasn't carried out at the specific direction of ISIS. He was speaking after receiving a briefing from top law enforcement officials, including FBI Director James Comey. Comey himself delivered a statement to reporters after the meeting, reiterating the President's position that the individual appeared to be isolated from but inspired by overseas terrorism. He also in the past made comments to coworkers about Hezbollah. "There are strong indications of radicalization by this killer and of potential inspiration by foreign terrorist organizations," Comey said, adding that he would try not to use the shooter's name.
