Gurudwara killings: Sikh group announces gallantry reward for 'ambushed' cop
Oak Creek, Wisconsin: Sikhs for Justice, a US-based human rights advocacy group, has announced a gallantry award of USD 10,000 for the police officer, who was injured in Sunday's Gurudwara shooting incident, said Sikhsiyasat, a Sikh-centric website.

Six people were killed and three others were wounded in a Gurudwara in Oak Creek in Wisconsin when a gunman opened fire.

One of the first officers to arrive at the scene after the gunman's indiscriminate firing was shot multiple times, according to Oak Creek Police Chief John Edwards. The officer, who was ambushed, is undergoing surgery at a nearby hospital and is expected to survive, said the police chief.

The killer, whose identity is not known yet, was killed by a second police officer, who arrived at the scene.
