The Hill – Dec. 18 – President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama on Friday met privately with families of the victims of this month’s terrorist attack in San Bernardino, Calif.
 
The Obamas consoled family members behind closed doors at Indian Springs High School. The first family made the brief stop en route to their annual Christmas vacation in Hawaii.
Obama described the meetings in remarks afterward.
“It was so moving for Michelle and myself in part because it was so representative of the country. You had people from every background, every faith,” the president said. 
“Some described their loved ones who had come to this country as immigrants; others who had lived in the area all their lives — all of them extraordinarily proud of the work they were doing to keep people healthy and safe here in this community.”
Obama vowed vigilance about preventing future mass shootings.
