Moment of silence marks 7th anniversary of terrorist attack in San Bernardino

Today marks seven years since 14 people were killed in a terrorist attack in San Bernardino. Many more were left wounded.

San Bernardino County marked recognition of the lives lost and impacted in a moment of silence at 10:55 a.m. on Friday.

The county created the video below:

Flags at all County facilities are being flown at half-mast on Friday. The county asks those who fly an American flag at home or at their place of work to also lower their flags on Friday in honor of those who were killed on that tragic day seven years ago.

CBS Sunday Morning profiled the memorial dedicated to the victims earlier this fall:

The attack

On Dec. 2, 2015, 14 men and women were gunned down by a married couple at the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino. The massacre also left 22 people seriously injured.

It happened at the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino, where employees of San Bernardino County’s Environmental Health Services division were holding a training event.

The county's Environmental Health Services Department was severely impacted by the mass shooting. In 2020, News Channel 3 spoke to one man who was shot but survived.

"I was shot 6 times. After 21 days in the hospital, many years in physical therapy and psychological therapy, I feel like I'm in a better place today," said Kevin Ortiz, who was commemorating the December 2020 anniversary on the corner that's become a makeshift memorial for the shooting.
