Sikh families eager to return to Milwaukee temple

MILWAUKEE (AP) — The Sikh temple in Oak Creek is the center of Harpreet Singh's existence. The cab company owner visits almost every day. And when business takes him to the nearby Milwaukee airport, he makes a point to stop by and pay his respects.

However, neither Singh nor any of his fellow worshippers have been allowed to return in the five days since a white supremacist burst into the temple and fatally shot six people as Sunday services were about to begin. Federal investigators have roped off the building as they catalog the scene and search for clues.

"My life, it's wrapped around the gurdwara," Singh said, referring to the temple. "Our heart aches when we see it from a distance and are not able to get there."
