Milwaukee, WI (August 5, 2024) - Congressman Bryan Steil (WI-01) introduced a bipartisan resolution today, joined by members of Wisconsin’s congressional delegation, to honor the twelfth anniversary of the attack at the Oak Creek Sikh Gurdwara and remember the victims.

“Twelve years later, we remember the worshippers whose lives were taken from us far too soon and honor Lieutenant Brian Murphy who responded to the scene and was shot fifteen times at close range,” said Steil. “This senseless act of violence should have never occurred. I join the Oak Creek community in remembering the victims and thank each of my colleagues for supporting my resolution to honor the lives we lost.”

Cosponsors of the resolution include Reps. Mark Pocan (WI-02), Derrick Van Orden (WI-03), Gwen Moore (WI-04), Scott Fitzgerald (WI-05), Glenn Grothman (WI-06), and Tom Tiffany (WI-07).
