A huge part of our lives : Sikh community holds memorial for victims of FedEx shooting Arika Herron, Indianapolis Star
Replay Video UP NEXT
The opening ardaas, a Sikh prayer, at Saturday’s memorial service for those killed in the April 15 mass shooting at an Indianapolis FedEx facility lasted nearly twice as long as the carnage that took eight lives, including four Sikhs, and injured five others.
Those four minutes, late on a Thursday night when some FedEx workers were on the dinner breaks and others were picking up their checks, shattered not only the families of those lost, but also Indianapolis’ tight-knit Sikh community. The burden of the tragedy has fallen squarely on the shoulders of those left behind but Saturday served as opportunity for members of the wider Indianapolis community politicians, officials, members of other faith traditional and average Hoosiers alike to lighten that load.
