Sikh community still under attack a year after Indianapolis mass shooting

• A 19-year-old gunman killed eight people, four of them Sikhs, at an Indianapolis-area FedEx facility in 2021.
• Anti-Sikh hate crimes have risen every year since the FBI began tracking them in 2015, climbing to 94 in 2020.
• Some worry about Sikhs' tendency to just keep going. "You don't learn how to grieve because you've never been taught how," one community member said.

Komal Sahi was home the night of April 15, 2021, when reports started streaming in of a shooting at the Indianapolis FedEx ground operations facility where her mother had started working the week before.

“It was just so shocking,” said Sahi, an immigration attorney in suburban Indianapolis. “That warehouse had a lot of Sikh workers. From hearing my mom, it was like, you make friends because you’re working with people like you. It was a community. Everybody knew somebody who worked there.”
