VANCOUVER - A vigil Thursday at a Vancouver Sikh temple will honor the victims of the mass murder in Wisconsin.

The service in the language of Punjabi will be at the temple on 3600 O street at 6 p.m.

The FBI has said that it still has no clear motive for Sunday's shootings at the Sikh temple in Wisconsin that left six worshipers and the gunman dead.

Investigators said suspect Wade Michael Page died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head after he was shot by police.

During the Vancouver event, a robe of honor will be presented to the mayor and police chief. A community meal will be held afterward.

Guru Ramdass Sahib Ji Sikh Gurdwara said the shooting has been emotionally tough on the Vancouver Sikh community, but they won't allow it to make them live in fear.
