LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - FBI agents served warrants in Corona and Ontario, California, on Thursday morning in the investigation of the December mass shooting by a radicalized Muslim couple in San Bernardino, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation told Reuters.

The Riverside-based Press-Enterprise newspaper reported the Corona warrant was served at the home of Syed Raheel Farook, the brother of Syed Rizwan Farook, who along with his wife, Tashfeen Malik, opened fire at a Dec. 2 holiday party and killed 14 people. The couple died the same day in a shootout with police.

After confirming the warrants, Laura Eimiller, spokeswoman for the FBI's Los Angeles field office, said the U.S. Attorney's office would provide more details on Thursday.

A representative for the U.S. Attorney did not immediately return a call or email seeking comment.

The FBI searched the home of Syed Raheel Farook in February, a law enforcement source close to the investigation confirmed to Reuters at the time.

Los Angeles television station KABC reported on Thursday that three indictments were returned on Wednesday in connection with the San Bernardino shooting.

Reuters could not immediately confirm the KABC report.
