Prayers for California

An interfaith service was held at the Islamic Community Centre for the victims of the mass shooting in California

The mass shooting in California's San Bernardino County that left at least 14 people dead last week, has left the community shocked. The attack took place during a holiday party being held at the Inland Regional Centre, a huge facility that provides services to people with disabilities.

In the days that followed, an interfaith service was held at the Islamic Community Centre of Redlands for the victims of the mass shooting. Many left inspirational messages for those injured and set up a memorial for the victims. Meanwhile, police continue to investigate the mass shooting, which also left 17 people injured.
