A decade after the Oak Creek shooting, Sikh community members and experts push for improved policy and resources
CBSN
Wisconsin native Pardeep Kaleka was driving to the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin when he learned there was an active shooter in the gurdwara — the very same place his parents and several other congregants were preparing a community meal.
His mother survived the Aug. 5, 2012 attack, but his father, Satwant Kaleka, did not. He was one of seven innocent worshippers killed by a shooter with ties to white nationalist neo-Nazi groups.
"This tragedy was heard, not just in the United States, but all over the world," Kaleka said Friday in a vigil memorializing the event. "It resonated with every single Sikh."
