INDIANAPOLIS - Amarjeet Kaur Johal was once a regular at Sikh Satsang of Indianapolis, volunteering to cook and clean up after communal meals.
On Saturday, Johal’s family, friends and co-workers gathered at the temple without her.
Johal, a grandmother of five, was one of the eight workers killed when a gunman opened fire at a FedEx warehouse Thursday night. Four of the victims were Sikh, a loss that cuts deep in this tightknit community,connected by faith and a common heritage tied to the Punjabi region of India.
At the gurdwara, a Sikh place of worship, people gathered to make sense of the violence and to talk about how they can protect their community.
