Modesto News .org was there at the Sikh gathering at the Temple in Hughson, California. There are several videos coming up from the event and memorial candlelight vigil.

Here is some more information about the shooting and victims: Mourners from as far away as India gathered Friday to pay their final respects to six worshippers gunned down by a white supremacist at a Sikh temple in suburban Milwaukee. Hundreds gathered in the Oak Creek High School gymnasium Friday morning where six caskets are standing as photos of those killed flash across a large video screen and a Sikh priest speaks in the native Indian Punjabi.
