Hundreds paid respects at Oak Creek's Sikh Temple of Wisconsin on the 10th anniversary of a mass shooting that killed seven members of the community.
Kamal Kaur was 11 years old when her father, Sita Singh, was killed in the shooting. "I don’t want you to think of me just today," she told the crowd. "I want you to think of me every single day, because I’m hurting every single day."
After hearing from the victims' family members, political officials and religious leaders, attendees placed candles near the front door in remembrance.
Priests at the temple, or gurdwara, are performing a 48-hour continuous prayer service to honor those who died on Aug. 5, 2012, when a white supremacist gunman entered the temple as its Sunday morning services were beginning.
The temple is holding educational events for the public around the anniversary, and Sikh temples across the country are performing community service this weekend in honor of those who died a decade ago. They say they also hope it will help call attention to the threat of white supremacist violence and the need to support faith communities that can be vulnerable to terror attacks by extremists.
