Nicholas J. Thalasinos, 52, was killed on December 2, 2015, during the mass shooting at the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino, California. He was a San Bernardino County health inspector attending a holiday luncheon when the attackers opened fire. Family members described him as a Messianic Jew who spoke openly about religion and politics; his wife, Jennifer Thalasinos, said he was devout and supportive of Israel.

The shooters were Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik, a married couple who returned to the luncheon site armed with semiautomatic rifles and pistols, dressed in tactical gear. Fourteen people were killed and 21 injured; the couple died in a shootout with police after a high-speed chase. Investigators later treated the incident as an act of domestic terrorism and searched the suspects’ home while interviewing acquaintances to assess possible connections and motives.

The attack prompted memorials and funds for victims families and renewed public debate about radicalization, weapons and public safety. If anyone knew Nicholas or was at the Inland Regional Center that day, can you share memories or information that might help others understand him or the events?
