Sikh Temple Has Reopened

The Sikh Temple of Wisconsin opened Thursday morning for the first time since Sunday's shootings.

A squad car is stationed at the entrance to the facility, 7512 S. Howell Ave. A sign says media is not allowed past the entrance to respect the privacy of Sikh members.

The temple has been an active crime scene since Sunday when a gunman killed six members before being shot by Oak Creek police.
