Bennetta Betbadal, 46, was killed on December 2, 2015, in the mass shooting at the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino, California. Born in Iran in 1969, she came to the United States at 18 to escape persecution and later settled in California. She married Arlen Verdehyou in 1997; the couple had three children and lived in Rialto. Bennetta worked as an inspector for the San Bernardino County Health Department and was attending an annual meeting where she was scheduled to give a presentation when the attack occurred.

The shooting, carried out by Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik, left 14 people dead and more than a dozen injured. Investigators later concluded the couple were inspired by extremist ideology and classified the incident as an act of terrorism; the attackers were killed in a shootout with law enforcement that same day. A GoFundMe was set up to support Bennetta’s husband and children.

Anyone who knew Bennetta, worked with her at the health department, or attended that Inland Regional Center meeting and has memories to share is asked to come forward.
