Wisconsin Gurdwara Shooting

Mourning the loss of lives in a mass shooting by a white supremacist at a gurdwara in Wisconsin nine years ago, US President Joe Biden has admitted that there has been a rise in hate crimes against Asian-Americans amidst the pandemic.

Baba Punjab Singh, an elderly man who was injured and paralysed following a shooting at a gurdwara in the US state of Wisconsin in 2012, has died almost eight years after the incident which left him bed -ridden, a media report said.

Prabhjot Singh Rathor entered the sanctuary and bowed low toward the holy book at the front of the room.

US Administration has announced a grant of more than half a million dollars for the victims of the Oak Creek Gurdwara shootout, after the Sikh community began a four-day memorial service observing the tragic incident, US Attorney General, Eric Holder said.

A year after six people were shot dead in a shooting rampage inside a Wisconsin Gurdwara, the Sikh community will commemorate the first anniversary of the incident with a series of events including solemn religious observances and candlelight vigil.

A Gurdwara in California has been vandalised and the word "terrorist" scrawled on its walls in an apparent hate crime, days ahead of the first anniversary of the Oak Creek Gurdwara shooting in Wisconsin.

The Mothers' Day parade shooting in New Orleans, coming less than a month after the April 15 Boston bombing, is the fourth major incident of mass shooting in the US in the last one year.

The police officer who risked his life to save victims of the Wisconsin Gurdwara shootout last year was honoured by US President Barack Obama at a White House award ceremony.

Members of the Sikh community joined other religious leaders in urging the US Congress to pass strict gun control laws to prevent the recent surge in gun violence in the country, including the one at a Wisconsin Gurdwara last year.

Recalling the August 5 shooting incident at a Gurdwara in Wisconsin, two US police officers who helped save several lives described the white supremacist gunman an "evil" with a "mission".

Barely 12 days after the shooting at a Gurdwara that killed six worshippers, an elderly Sikh man has been shot dead in an attempted robbery incident in the same Wisconsin state.

Sounds of gunshots can be heard in some calls made to the police from worshippers hiding in a Sikh gurdwara in Wisconsin when Wade Michael Page, a white supremacist, came that fateful Sunday and killed six of them.

Mourners began paying their final respects Friday to six worshipers gunned down by a white supremacist at a Sikh temple in the U.S. almost a week ago for reasons that still aren't clear.

In the wake of the shooting incident at a Wisconsin Gurdwara that claimed six lives, US President Barack Obama feels "very strongly" that there is a need to recognise the significant contributions of the Sikhs to the American community.

Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney mourned the Wisconsin Gurdwara tragedy at a fundraiser in Iowa, but referred to a 'sheik temple' instead of a 'Sikh temple' while offering his condolences. Confusing the Arabic honorific with the term Sikh, Romney mispronounced it and was found talking about 'sheik' people.
