Oak Creek, Wisconsin: Hundreds of Sikhs gathered at the Wisconsin temple on Sunday for the first public service there since a white supremacist gunned down six people at the temple a week ago.
Wade Michael Page, 40, went on a shooting rampage last Sunday before killing himself.
“A coward came into destroy us … and to start a race war, but he came to the wrong place, because it brought us closer together,” said Amardeep Kaleka, whose father, Satwant Singh Kaleka, the temple’s president, was killed by Page, Reuters reported.
Sita Singh, 41; Ranjit Singh, 49; Prakash Singh, 39; Paramjit Kaur, 41; and Suveg Singh, 84 were also killed in the incident.
Page injured four others, including a police officer who responded to the scene.
