Just yesterday, during the incident, Berhe was on Twitter praying for those that were involved. He even tweeted out the location of his parents’ office building and just how close it was to the shooting.
Send a prayer up for my hometown #SanBernardino, active shooter situation, 20+ victims. Hurts my heart.

For a young man that worked his way to the NFL and who loved his city and his community, yesterday was already a terrible day for him. Now that he has confirmed that his cousin was one of those tragically taken away, it’s impossible for your heart to not pour out for Berhe and everything that he, his family and the community are going through right now.
