FBI Has Broken Into San Bernardino Shooter's Phone Without Apple's Help

SAN BERNARDINO, Cal. (WJZ) -- There is breaking news in the FBI's battle with Apple to gain access to the iPhone of the terrorist in the San Bernardino shooting.

The FBI says they have used a mystery third party method to break into Syed Farook's phone without Apple's help.

That announcement ends a legal battle which began earlier this year when Apple refused to follow a court order to help the government.
