These nine places keep alive the memories of those killed during a holiday-themed training session on Dec. 2, 2015.
Memorials to those killed Dec. 2, 2015, can be found across the Inland Empire.
The nonprofit Incredible Edible Community Garden planned to create 15 gardens: one for each person killed and one for survivors. Seven were completed in memory of those who died.
Here’s a list of those gardens, and other public memorial sites in the region.
Where: San Bernardino County Government Center, 385 N. Arrowhead Ave., San Bernardino
Details: Fourteen bronze alcoves in the shape of protective curtains comprise the memorial on the center’s east promenade. Victims’ families picked the glass colors for each alcove. A personalized phrase can be seen on each bench inside an alcove. Landscape architect and artist Walter Hood created the memorial, which opened in 2022.
Where: Cal State San Bernardino, 5500 University Parkway, San Bernardino
Details: The garden is on the south side of the Chemical Sciences Building and features five benches, five boulders, five trees and a bell atop a five-sided pedestal. Each year, a Day of Remembrance is hosted in the garden and the bell is tolled 14 times. Five of those killed were alums of the university’s Department of Biology and Department of Health Science.
