HONORING THE LIFE AND LEGACY OF MEMBERS OF THE SIKH COMMUNITY AND ALL
THOSE AFFECTED BY THE FEDEX SHOOTING IN INDIANAPOLIS
______
HON. VICTORIA SPARTZ
of indiana
in the house of representatives
Friday, May 7, 2021
Mrs. SPARTZ. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor eight Hoosier lives lost at the FedEx facility in Indianapolis. I joined my fellow Indiana delegation members in leading our colleagues in a moment of silence on the house floor in their honor on April 21, 2021.
Of the eight lives lost, four of those individuals belonged to the Sikh community in central Indiana. This community is small and tight knit. They are friends and colleagues who work together and worship together. The loss this community is feeling in the wake of this tragedy is unimaginable. I stand with the Sikh community and all those affected by this senseless act of violence.
My deepest condolences are with all the families and friends who are experiencing unimaginable pain and loss. Our state and Nation mourn with them.
