Two attackers opened fire inside a social services center in San Bernardino, California on Wednesday leaving 14 dead and many others wounded. Local authorities chose not to name victims on Wednesday so they could contact families and friends of the victims.

Syed Rizwan Farook, 28, and his wife Tashfeen Malik, 27, orchestrated the shooting, and nearly four hours later were killed in a shootout with police.

On Thursday night, the San Bernardino County Coroner released the names of deceased victims.

Jennifer Thalasinos, Nicholas' wife of nine years, said he had previously been friendly with Farook. She told the New York Times that her husband was apart of the same group of employees.

“He had worked with him,” she said. “He had talked about him. Nothing negative.”

She added that she and her husband were devout Messianic Jews and that he typically wore tzitzit, traditional Jewish tassels on his pants. Thalasinos previously worked as a health inspector in Cape May County, New Jersey.

"He was a wonderful friend," Ed Beck, an old friend told Philly.com. "He worked in Cape May County as a health inspector and went out to California and was doing the same work there."
