SAN BERNARDINO, California – It is just over one week since the horrific events that unfolded in San Bernardino, California, which left 14 people dead, and 24 people injured.
As of yet, there has been no appearance from the nation’s Commander-in-Chief, President Barack Obama. But visitors from around the country have clearly made the effort to attend the site near the Inland Regional Center – where the attack initially took place – to pay their respects.
A large memorial has sprung up on the corner of Orange Show Road and South Waterman Avenue, with Breitbart News on the scene to bring you the poignant images, and moving tributes to those who lost their lives, and those who will continue struggle with the loss of loved ones.
