SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- A multiple shooting outside of the Sikh Temple on Sunday has left one man dead and another at a local hospital, Sacramento police officials said.

The shooting happened at about 1:30 p.m. during a sports tournament at the Sikh Society located on Bradshaw and Gerber roads, officials said.

Witnesses said hundreds of people were at the Sikh Society when two men came onto the property and started shooting, police said.

"People were hiding behind cars, trying to get out of the field. There was a girl in a wheel chair stranded out there and we were all scared," a witness told KCRA 3.

A 38-year-old man was taken to UC Davis Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries, officials said.

"The crowd heard the gunshots and saw the men with the guns," said Sgt. Tim Curran. "They (crowd) tackled one of the suspects and detained him."

The crowd then turned the man over to police, who suffered injuries when the crowd hit him with field hockey and cricket sticks, Curran said.

Police said they found two handguns on the property and that the shooters were targeting victims.

The shooting is not being considered a hate crime, police said.

I was there for the field hockey tournament and it was so scary to witness it. Everyone just started running everywhere. The gunman sangat caught was saved by the cops or the sangat at would have killed him.

Also, the report is misleading. the shooting didn't happen inside the temple it next to the temple on the cricket grounds. Well outside the gurudwara boundaries

There are lot of rumors that it's drug related and sounds like that but then again it could be a rumor.

Well you see california politics is sooo backward and stupid that you wish that you kick these ppl out and hand em over to punjab police for the good beating.

I am sure that Amandeep Dhami is the same person who gave tv interview not many months back when his dad got caught in a huge drug scandal. They own a Dhami Truck Stop in Sacramento. My guess is that this shooting is most likely either Drug case; probably victim left the work or maybe co-operated with police against his dad. Police and locals are saying that the shooters (two of em) knew that pamma is coming over for hockey/kabbadi sports/match stuff.. so basically shooters were all planned to come and shoot their guy and get away.

Bradshaw Gurdwara is the only main gurdwara in Sacramento area which is very family, cozy and pro-panthic. This gurdwara sahib always stayed away from such issues and i hope that it gets back to the normal routine soon.

Pun9ab1 is right.. it happened in ground which is like far away from main hall. (its like ranch style gurughar)

I think all kabbadi matches over 25 age should be banned from gurdwara funds and land.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
