Authorities in California said 17 men have been arrested in connection with a 2018 Sikh temple shooting and a sword attack
"This started out as one group, and one faction broke off, and since then they have been rivals trying to outdo each other. Mainly they show up places and try to shoot each other," Dupré said, comparing it to the U.S. Civil War"where brothers were fighting against brothers."
Sutter County District Attorney Jennifer Dupré speaks at a news conference in Yuba City, Calif., on Monday. Dupré announced the arrest of more than a dozen people on charges including conspiracy to commit murder. Dupré says the men are members of one of two rival syndicates in the Sikh community responsible for a series of shootings.
The violence began at a 2018 Sikh parade in Yuba City, 45 miles north of Sacramento, where a man was attacked with a sword. The incident then evolved into shootings, including one at a 2021 wedding party. The violence attracted attention from law enforcement, which began investigating along with state and federal agencies.
