Shooting at the Oak Creek gurdwara

A shooting at a gurdwara in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, in the United States, leaves six Sikhs dead.

Wikipedia's account of Sikhs in the United States places the attack among hate crimes against Sikhs after September 2001. Many of these rested on the attackers' mistaken belief that their targets were Muslims.

Balbir Singh Sodhi, a petrol station owner, was killed on 15 September 2001.[Web]
