STOCKTON, Calif. -- The Sikh parade has attracted more than 20,000 in years past and thousands marched through Stockton Sunday afternoon.
However, the 13th annual parade was held in the shadow of a recent incident in which 2 Sikh men were gunned down in Elk Grove recently.
The FBI has been called in to investigate the shooting as a possible hate crime.
Gurpatwant Pannun of Sikhs for Justice said no men should be killed for their religion, and hopes the parade will show the diversity within the community.
