Gurpreet Gosal, Amandeep Dhami

Gangster-giri in Sactomato: A shooting happened over the weekend at an invitational Sikh sports festival in Sacramento:

The suspected gunman captured by an angry sports festival crowd after a Sunday shooting was identified by sheriff’s officers Monday as Gurpreet Singh Gosal, 24, of Indianapolis… Amandeep Singh Dhami of Elk Grove [is in hiding]…

The shooting erupted Sunday afternoon at the Sacramento Sikh Society Sports Complex… where crowds had gathered to watch cricket, youth field hockey and a footrace. Gunfire left Parmjit Pamma Singh dead and wounded a 38-year-old man… [Link]

The shooting followed an ongoing argument between the victims, Singh Gosal and a second man, according to investigators. The suspect and the second man opened fire… [Link]

The burly crowd wouldn’t stand for it, issuing Punjabi endearments with hockey sticks and cricket bats:

Afterward, the crowd mobbed one of the shooters, attacking him with cricket bats and hockey sticks, but the other gunman fled, deputies said. [Link]

The brazen shootings occurred at approximately 1:20… “The crowd was armed with cricket bats and field hockey sticks. They didn’t hold back in telling us that they hit him,” Curran said. That suspect is being treated for “multiple contusions”…

Deputies recovered two handguns but found few witnesses to the shootings. Most in the crowd at the time were attending youth field hockey games and a footrace at other fields in the complex. [Link]

    db: you’re right - one of the stories I linked later said the sports fest was an invitational that drew from all over California, Canada and a couple of other states. Have amended.

    Feel bad for the family of the victim. Sounds like a nice family event. Pretty cool they have their own complex.

    No the news reported regarding the second man Amandeep is incorrect, he has NOT been arrested, I know him and live in the area. He is still hiding.
