    Sikh community speaks out

    Candlelight Vigil San Jose Gurudwara - 08/08/12

     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     Shocked and horrified about the temple shooting in Wisconsin, Anuraj1984 says he chose to go to the vigil held at a Sikh temple in San Jose, CA, to show support and to show how he and his community are standing together. "There were around 2,000 to 2,500 people there. Mostly Sikhs, but there were people of other faiths as well, including Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, and Jain among others," he says. "There were special speakers at the occasion, from various religious leaders to government employees, and to the police department. People were sad, but calm and determined to show unity."
    - Anika3, CNN iReport producer

    These pictures and video were taken at the San Jose Gurudwara (Sikh Temple) during the Candlelight Vigil held on 08/08/12, in response to the shootout at Oak Creek Gurudwara in Wisconsin.
