Nat Berhe was 'paralyzed with grief’ over death of cousin

The story of the San Bernardino shooting unfolded much differently for Giants safety Nat Berhe than it did for most.

San Bernardino is Berhe’s hometown, where his family still lives. As he detailed in an essay posted on the Players’ Tribune on Thursday, Waterman Avenue, where the Inland Regional Center resides, was a place Berhe spent a lot of his time growing up. His grandmother lived off of Waterman; his first job was off Waterman; the DMV where he got his driver’s license is on Waterman.

Berhe brought Waterman to life in the poignant essay in which he provided more details about the death of his cousin, Isaac Amanios, one of the 14 people killed by Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik last Wednesday.
