• Anniversary vigil for victims of Wis. Sikh attack marked by tearful eulogies, calls for peace
• OAK CREEK, Wis. (AP) -- As many as
1,000 people gathered Monday night at a Milwaukee-area Sikh temple, marking the one-year anniversary of a shooting rampage with a candlelight vigil next to the very parking lot where two of the six victims died.
• Children of several victims delivered anguished eulogies. They described the horror of the shooting scene and recalled the pain of seeing their loved ones' bodies at the funeral. They also thanked community members for their support, even as they showed how much they have come to rely on each other as well.
• Gurvinder Singh, 15, stood on stage with his family and gestured to a portrait of his father, Ranjit Singh, who was one of the six killed.
• "I love this guy, Ranjit Singh," Gurvinder said. Then he broke down in tears, saying, "I can't even speak today."
• He rested his head on his forearm and sobbed. Then the son of another victim joined him on stage to comfort him. Raghuvinder Singh, whose father remains nearly comatose after Page shot him in the head, hugged Gurvinder and patted his back.
