One victim, Satwant Singh Kaleka, died valiantly trying to fight off the gunman. He put his life on the line to try to save others. Twitter users honor him as the hero he was.
Constantly reduced to tears reading about the defiance of Satwant Singh Kaleka. Gave his life defending Gurdwara and Sangat #Sikh #Wisconsin—
