This afternoon, I was reading the BBC News when I first saw the story of the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin shooting. I went to Wikipedia to read about Oak Creek , what kind of place it is, and a line about the shooting was already there. Other than that, the next big story about the city is of when it was incorporated. It is sleepy as my town, with a slightly different demographic; it has a much larger Asian population.
Here, the local paper has much better coverage of the story. What an awful thing. The heart goes out in prayer for the Sikh community and all of Oak Creek.
