Sikhs call for gun reforms after FedEx mass shooting
AP, INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana
Members of Indianapolis’ tight-knit Sikh community on Saturday joined city officials to call for gun reforms as they mourned the deaths of four Sikhs who were among the eight people killed in a mass shooting at a FedEx warehouse.
At a vigil attended by more than 200 at an Indianapolis park on Saturday evening, Aasees Kaur, legal client and community services manager at the Sikh Coalition, spoke out alongside the city’s mayor and other officials to demand action that would prevent such attacks from happening again.
“We must support one another, not just in grief, but in calling our policymakers and elected officials to make meaningful change,” Kaur said. “The time to act is not later, but now. We are far too many tragedies, too late, in doing so.”
