On May 12, 2003 The Sacramento Bee reported that "Dalvir Sangha had almost finished delivering mail along his Orangevale route July 19, 2002. It was Friday, and he had just called his wife, also a letter carrier, to let her know that he'd be home a bit early... As he cut across a driveway near the intersection of Beech Avenue and Fortuna Way, he felt an impact and then a searing pain. He grasped his neck. He looked at his hand: covered with blood... Now, a slender scar traces a line below Sangha's right ear, where a surgeon removed a pellet four days after the shooting. It's the only outward sign of an incident that overturned his life and sent fear through the Sikh community... Sangha said he's never met Matthew John Burdick, 32, the man who's in jail on charges related to the incident... U.S. attorneys are prosecuting the case as a crime against a federal employee... Ten months later, Sangha's shooting barely reverberated beyond Sikh temples and the Orangevale street where it occurred. Sangha said U.S. attorneys deterred him from talking to the media, saying a copycat shooter could emerge."
