Indianapolis Sikh community calls for gun reforms after FedEx shooting

Members of Indianapolis’ tight-knit Sikh community joined with city officials to call for gun reforms Saturday as they mourned the deaths of four Sikhs who were among the eight people killed in a mass shooting at a FedEx warehouse.

"We must support one another, not just in grief, but in calling our policymakers and elected officials to make meaningful change," Kaur said. "The time to act is not later, but now. We are far too many tragedies, too late, in doing so." The attack was another blow to the Asian American community a month after authorities said six people of Asian descent were killed by a gunman in the Atlanta area and amid ongoing attacks against Asian Americans during the coronavirus pandemic.
