ESSAY: NFL stadiums can’t become arena for armed vigilantes l PHOTOS: When the sports world recognizes tragedy
San Bernardino is Berhe’s hometown, and it’s where his parents still live. The Giants safety tweeted a photo of a map showing how close his parents’ workplace is to where the shooting occurred.
In addition to the 14 who were killed, another 21 were wounded in Wednesday’s attacks.
Berhe isn’t the first Giants player to be affected by a mass shooting this year. Former receiver Corey Washington found out his good friend’s cousin and great-aunt died in the shooting at a Charleston, S.C., church.
Berhe, a San Diego State product, was a fifth-round pick by New York in 2014. He hasn’t seen the field this season as he was placed on injured reserve in training camp after undergoing surgery to remove a blood clot in his calf.
During the attacks Wednesday, Berhe tweeted, “We have to stop this senseless violence.”
