BROOKFIELD -- Surjit Singh, high priest at the Brookfield Sikh Temple and president of the Sikh Religious Society of Wisconsin was at the scene of the shooting at the Sikh Temple in Oak Creek Sunday evening, August 5th.
Singh greeted Sikhs and prayed with those who had lost loved ones during the shooting that claimed six lives. The gunman was also killed after exchanging gunfire with two Oak Creek police officers who were among the first to the scene.
