On the morning of August 5, 2012, at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin in Oak Creek, 65-year-old Satwant Singh Kaleka was preparing for services and the communal meal, langar, and awaiting his son and grandchildren for children’s classes. A gunman, Wade Michael Page, entered the temple and opened fire. Kaleka confronted the shooter with a butter knife in an effort to protect others. His intervention is credited with giving several women and children time to hide in the kitchen, including his wife. During the struggle Kaleka was fatally shot; in total six people were killed and four others wounded in the attack.

The assailant was later wounded by police and then died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Authorities treated the incident as domestic terrorism and the FBI took over the investigation; investigators found no evidence of additional planners or accomplices. Kaleka has been described in accounts of the attack as acting heroically. Did anyone who knew Satwant Singh Kaleka or his family attend the temple that day and can add memories of him or his actions?
