Nirupama Rao visits families of victims in Oak Creek.
WASHINGTON: Indian
Ambassador to the US Nirupama Rao visited Milwaukee to offer support to the
victims and their families.
As expressions of support poured in from across the nation, with people
holding peace rallies and candle light vigils in dozens of cities, Rao flew
in from Washington to the tragedy struck city in Wisconsin.
The Indian
Ambassador met the Oak Creek Mayor Steve Scaffidi.
She was briefed by the FBI and local police about the investigation into
the Gurdwara shooting incident.
She was given details on how the incident happened and the steps that are
now being taken by the police and local administration for the protection
of the Sikh community as well as the status of the investigation.
Later in the evening she attended a community vigil held in honour of the
shooting victims where she briefly addressed those attending the meet to
honour those killed in the shooting incident.
She met the victims' families in Oak Creek including relatives of Satwant
Singh Kaleka, the slain president of the Gurdwara, who confronted the
shooter and helped save the lives of several worshippers.
In her meetings with the victims' families, Rao expressed her condolences
and sympathies and offered all kinds of assistance on behalf of the Indian
government.
"Struck by calm&composure of victim families. No trace of rancor.
But their tears would fill an ocean, make it overflow," Rao tweeted
after her meeting.
