Sikhs from Somerville, Medford, Cambridge and Boston were trying to learn more about the circumstances of a deadly shooting in Wisconsin, according to a leader in the Boston Sikh community.
Members of the Greater Boston Sikh community were condemning a Sunday shooting at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin that left at least seven people dead. At the same time, the local Sikh community was trying to learn more information about the circumstances of the shooting. Darfhan Singh, secretary of a gurdwara—a Sikh place of worship—that recently moved from Somerville to Everett, said members of the Boston Sikh community are "listening to the television and radio" in an attempt to learn more about what happened. "The investigation is going on," Singh said, cautioning against jumping to conclusions. Although Singh, who was visiting North Carolina Sunday when news of the shooting broke, did not know anyone in the Oak Creek, Wis., area, where …

Warrants are out for two suspects, police say.
Just after 10 pm last night, a man walked into the Faulkner Hospital emergency room with a gunshot wound to his left leg, Boston Police said. A witness who was with the man said the attack took place at 3888 Washington St., just on the Roslindale side of the border with JP, as he and the victim walked toward the Forest Hills T, police said.

The suspects ran away in an unknown direction. However, witnesses recognized the assailants and warrants are being drawn for their arrest, police said.

Boston Police confirm what the school's principal has been saying since Sunday -- a man who was shot in the leg was likely lying about being shot across the street from the school.
Boston Police say that a man who told them he'd been wounded in a drive-by shooting across the street from Mendell Elementary is lying. "We do not believe he has been honest as to the nature of the incident," said Elaine Driscoll, spokesperson for the department. "We have no reason to believe that incident happened near the school." That squares with what the School Street elementary's principal has been telling parents since Sunday, when Principal Julia Bott sent an automated message to parents. She has since sent a letter to parents, visible at right as a PDF, about the measures taken to ensure student safety. Bott cited several officers involved in the investigation as saying it was unsubstantiated. Immediately after the report of the …

I can't say for sure why these terrible acts were committed today, but I do know that over the past several weeks numerous death threats have been leveled at Amardeep Kaleka and his family regarding the content of the upcoming documentary 'Sirius' (sirius.neverendinglight.com). I don't think its a coincidence that he was present at the shooting, and his father was wounded, and I find it very … more ›
