Incidentally, there’s a small but significant Mormon connection to San Bernardino:  The first English-speaking settlement was established by Latter-day Saints sent there by Brigham Young, presumably as part of a plan to build a chain of settlements reaching to the ocean so that Deseret could have a seaport.  Unfortunately, the colonists had to be recalled as a result of the so-called “Mormon War” of 1857.

 

And here’s a curiosity:  One of the early broadcast reports suggested that the SUV in which the two suspects were killed had Utah plates.  I’ve heard nothing of that since, though, and have no idea whether it’s true.
