Flags will be flown at half-staff in Wisconsin tomorrow to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the mass shooting at a Sikh temple.
Seven people died and several others were wounded when a white supremacist gunman entered the Oak Creek Sikh Temple on August Fifth, 2012. Governor Tony Evers, who issued an executive order to lower the flags, said the anniversary is a “painful day” for Wisconsin, and called a shooting a “reminder of the work that still must be done against the threat of hate-fueled violence.” The order will be in effect from sunrise to sunset.
