Houston has a significant community of Sikhs, devotees of an Indian monotheistic path developed in the 15th Century. In August of 2012, a White Supremacist Neo-Nazi in Wisconsin shot and killed 6 Sikhs while they were preparing for a communal meal at their temple. Houston Mayor Annise Parker and members of her administration put together an interfaith candlelight vigil a few days later and many members of the community, Sikhs and nonSikhs alike, turned out.
