Satwinder Kaur, a member of sikh "soch" and prominent community leader, has expressed shocked over the recent incident in Kent where a 39-year-old Sikh man was shot by an unknown assailant.
"It was disheartening when I saw this news in the morning, I was shocked. It does not happen in our community; we did not expect it to happen here. I don't know it happens in Kansas or other places but it does not happen in Washington state and it does not happen in Kent," she said.
The Sikh man was left injured after he was shot at Kent by an unknown man wearing a mask.
She, however, expressed her satisfaction on the response from the Kent Police chief.
"I was very happy with his response," she said.
