NORCROSS, Ga. — Victims of a mass murder at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin are being remembered in metro Atlanta.
On Saturday, hundreds of people gathered together to pray for the six victims who were killed in the shooting rampage, and the man who killed them. Channel 2's Carl Willis sat in on the service at the temple in Norcross.
"We're all here, and we don't want this happening ever again," Chanpreet Singh told Willis.
Investigators believe 40-year-old Wade Michael Page, an Army veteran with links to the white supremacist movement, went on a shooting rampage last week, killing six and injuring three others.
"It affects a lot of families. It has a psychological effect also especially on the children who have seen this shooting," said Manohar Singh, of the Guru Nanak Mission Society of Atlanta.
He said the response to the shooting needs to be one of peace.
"We pray even for the aggressor who did this. We say 'God bless his soul with peace,'" Singh said.
