Very sad. Americans are not very aware of Sikhs, but I've never seen anything unflattering about them.
Shooter was reportedly a white male in his 30's. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/7-kille...atest_news
Yeah the description I originally read of the shooter was "heavyset, bald white male wearing a sleeveless t-shirt" aka pretty good physical portrait of ignorant white trash.
I dated a girl from a Sikh family for a while so I learned a bit about their religion and history. They've had some issues with the Hindus related to their homeland having been split between India and Pakistan, but overall it's a very tolerant and peaceful religion.
