Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability.
This resolution commemorates the 12-year anniversary of the August 5, 2012 shooting at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin in Oak Creek that killed seven worshipers. The attack occurred while congregants were preparing a community meal, and several others were injured including responding officer Lieutenant Brian Murphy, who was shot 15 times but survived. The resolution honors the seven victims by name, expresses condolences to their families and the broader Sikh community, and praises the courage of first responders who prevented additional casualties. Congress condemns the attack as a senseless act of violence and reaffirms its opposition to religious discrimination and hate crimes. No funding or specific timelines are established through this resolution, which serves as a formal expression of remembrance and solidarity with the affected community.
