Candlelight Vigil at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin (Photos)

On the anniversary of last year's tragic shooting, over 1,000 people gathered at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin for a candlelight vigil.

On Monday's anniversary of the tragic shooting at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin, over 1,000 people gathered at the temple for a candlelight vigil to remember victims of violence everywhere.

The event concluded a series of events over four days marking the shooting and brought together people from across the country.

Organizers and several speakers sought to look beyond what happened on the morning of Aug. 5, 2012, when an armed white supremacist entered the temple and began firing, and called on the audience to do their part to curb gun violence.
