The Wisconsin gurudwara that was attacked last Sunday, leaving seven people dead, including shooter Wade Michael Page, has been reopened to the public. The police handed over the premises to the management early on Friday morning, five days after the tragic shooting that killed six worshippers.


Four of them are Indian nationals and their bodies are expected to be flown in soon. The funeral of the other two victims will be held later on Friday and will be attended by Punjab chief minister Parkash Singh Badal.


Satwant Singh Kaleka, the 65-year-old president of the congregation, was among the victims. The others who died were Sita Singh, 41; Ranjit Singh, 49; Prakash Singh, 39; Paramjit Kaur, 41; and Suveg Singh, 84.


The gunman, Wade Michael Page, a 40-year-old US Army veteran with links to racist groups, also wounded three others seriously when he opened fire on worshipers Sunday morning. Page was shot in the stomach by a responding officer before dying of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
