Giants news, 10/4: Nat Berhe loses cousin in San Bernardino mass shooting

Good morning, New York Giants fans. Here are some headlines to start off your weekend.

Nat Berhe says cousin among San Bernardino victims

Giants safety Nat Berhe, who has been on injured reserve the entire season following calf surgery, tweeted on Thursday that his cousin was fatally wounded in the mass shooting that took place in San Bernardino, CA., on Wednesday. Berhe, who is a San Bernardino native, wrote that the office building where his parents work is just blocks away from where the shooting occurred. Out of the 14 people who lost their lives on Wednesday, four of the victims have been identified -- one of which was Berhe's cousin, Isaac Amanios. Amanios, 60, worked for the county health department, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Just got word that one of my cousins was among the 14 killed yesterday, I'm so sick right now.

My cousin's name is Isaac Amanios and he was a great human being. Thoughts and prayers are with my family back in CA.
