Former South Jersey Health Inspector Among 14 Dead in California Mass Shooting

The widow of one of the people killed in San Bernardino says her husband knew the suspected shooter, but didn’t know about his alleged stockpile of guns, ammo and explosives.

‘He had worked with him, ‘ Mrs Thalasinos said.

In San Bernardino County Department of Public Health documents, he is listed as a supervising environmental health specialist with the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health.

Chillingly, Thalasinos’ final facebook post was a message about a man he said made a threat to his life. Jennifer Thalasinos, his wife of nine years, said he had previously been friendly with Farook. “Michael was shot and killed in the San Bernardino shooting yesterday and leaves behind his wife and six young children”.

Kaufman ran the coffee shop in building 3 at the Inland Regional Center, training the developmentally disabled clients who worked there.

The second victim identified in the attack is Michael Raymond Wetzel, a married father of six.

Juan Perez, Director of Riverside County Transportation and Land Management Agency and a former boss of Damian Meins, passed along an email to ABC News that he had sent to his employees Thursday morning.

The shooters, identified as 28-year-old Syed Rizwan Farook and his 27-year-old wife, Tashfeen Malik, fired between 65 and 75 rifle rounds during the shooting at a county health department holiday party, then unloaded about that number in a later confrontation with police, according to San Bernardino County Police Chief Jarrod Burguan.

Whether the deadly shooting was an act of domestic terrorism or the result or workplace-related is still under investigation.

Friends and family members posted condolences and photos on Thalasinos’ Facebook wall on Thursday. Very sad news. Please keep his family in your thoughts & prayers. Eight hours later, she learned he was dead. There are multiple people dead/shot.

Nicholas Thalasinos, fomerly of Middle Township, was a health inspector in Cape May County more than 10 years ago before he moved to California to take a similar job, according to the report. “I can’t get a hold of him”. I Didn’t know a better person.

“How incredibly tragic”, wrote Shelley Spratt, who is acquainted with a close friend of Renee Wetzel’s, on her Facebook page.

In the aftermath of the shooting, Renee posted online about her fears for her husband.
