WE'LL BRING YOU ANY UPDATED
INFORMATION ON 12 NEWS AT 6:00.
TWO YEARS THIS COMING TUESDAY.
THAT'S HOW LONG IT'S BEEN SINCE
A GUNMAN OPENED FIRE AT THE SIKH
TEMPLE OF WISCONSIN IN OAK
CREEK.
SIX PEOPLE AND THE GUNMAN DIED
ON AUGUST 5, 2012.
AS WISN 12 NEWS' THEMA PONTON
SHOWS US, THE COMMUNITY IS
MARKING THE ANNIVERSARY BY
REMEMBERING THE VICTIMS AND
TRYING TO MAKE A CHANGE.
I THOUGHT I HEARD SHOTS.
WHAT HAPPENED WAS A RESULT OF
IGNORANCE.
THAT IGNORANCE LED TO
SIX
SOULS SACRIFICING THEIR LIVES.
HE WAS MY GODFATHER.
THAT CHANGED MY WHOLE LIFE.
THAT WAS A TURNING POINT FOR ME.
ON SATURDAY, HE HELPED TO
ORGANIZE A RUN AND WALK.
THAT
NAME MEANS RELENTLESS
OPTIMISM, TRAGEDY TO TRIUMPH.
WE TURNED THAT FROM
TRAGEDY TO
TRY.
THIS WOMAN BROUGHT HER FAMILY
OUT TO THE WALK.
IT IS A TEACHING MOMENT FOR HER
KIDS.
WE REMEMBER THE MOMENT, WHERE
WE WERE EXACTLY WHEN IT
HAPPENED.
WE TALK ABOUT THAT.
THEY MADE A BAD DECISION.
WE CAN'T GO BACKWARDS.
FORWARD IS THE WAY HERE
AS
PEOPLE CAN'T TOGETHER TO HONOR
THE VICTIMS AND SAY THANK YOU TO
PEOPLE FOR THEIR SUPPORT.
SIGNS ARE FULL OF PERSONAL
MESSAGES, HOPE, AND SUPPORT FROM
JUST ABOUT EVERYWHERE.
IT LETS THE IMMUNITY KNOW THAT
THEY ARE NOT ALONE.
YOU FEEL THE PAIN.
WE ARE HERE TO HELP.
HE SAYS IT IS COMFORTING TO
KNOW THE WORLD REMEMBERS WHAT
HAPPENED HERE.
THAT PEOPLE ARE CHEERING FOR
THEM.
