Names of all 14 people killed in San Bernardino shooting released

Of the 14 people killed – including a father of six – 12 were county employees, San Bernardino police announced Thursday night.

The FBI was investigating the shooting as a potential act of terrorism but had reached no firm conclusions Thursday.

On Thursday evening, the San Bernardino Coroner’s Office released a full list of the names of the deceased victims. “I can’t get a hold of him”, wife Renee Wetzel posted online Wednesday. She told them she’d ducked under a table when the gunfire started and ended up getting hit in the back., the relatives told the Los Angeles Times.

What was that faith?

Nicholas Thalasinos, 52, worked for the San Bernardino County Environmental Health Department.

The release of the identities of the deceased, posted at about 4 p.m. PT, included four individuals whose identities ABC News had already confirmed – Nicholas Thalasinos, Michael Wetzel, Damian Meins and Daniel Kaufman.

After last month’s deadly shootings in Paris, she posted a vacation photo on Facebook, overlain by the colors of the French flag. Thalasinos, a Messianic Jew per his Facebook page, was politically active on the site. Messianic Jews are Christians who believe that Jesus was the Messiah, but still incorporate some aspects of Judaism.

Police Lt. Mike Madden, one of the first officers to reach the room at the social services center, where Farook’s colleagues from San Bernardino County’s public health department had gathered, said the carnage was unspeakable, the scene overwhelming: the smell of gunpowder, the wails of the injured, the blood, fire sprinklers pumping and fire alarms blaring.

However, a friend of a man killed in the rampage said Farook had a heated conversation about Islam two weeks before the attack.

“When I was in darkness (I was not a Righteous man) I cried out to Jesus (as I mistakenly called Him) and He lifted the veil from my eyes and the weight from my heart”, Thalasinos wrote Susskind-Sacks in September.

“I just found out the most terrible news of my life!”

Dowell said Thalasinos’s wife responded with a wistful smile saying “He’ll be really easy identify”.

“He was a wonderful person”, said Joey Shimoni, another friend. “I haven’t talk to Nick in years, but we shared two lovely boys together and there is a part of me who will always love him”, Nick’s ex-wife, Annette Thalasinos, told Eyewitness News.

“He was very outspoken about ISIS and all of these radicalised Muslims”, she said.

“Yesterday when this happened to the center, I didn’t even pay attention until late in the afternoon”, said his brother Amanios, 70.

Thalasinos referred to himself as a Zionist and often posted pro-Israel messages.

“It is my honest belief that Nicholas was murdered because of his alliance with Israel and Jewish people”, Karas wrote. “He loved Yisrael and Jewish people”.
