Local Sikhs To Hold Vigil, As Peace In Community Is 'Shattered'

Members of the Sikh religion in Massachusetts are reacting with profound sadness to Sunday's shooting massacre at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin.

Six people died in Oak Creek, Wis., after the alleged gunman, 40-year-old Wade Michael Page, entered the temple and opened fire. Page was then killed in a shootout with police.

On Monday night, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., local Sikhs will hold a candlelight vigil at the temple, or gurdwara, at 204 East Main St. in Milford.
