"At least seven people were killed in a shooting at a Sikh Temple outside of Milwaukee, with the presumed gunman among the dead, according to police.

The first officer on the scene exchanged fire with the gunman and killed him, Greenfield Police Chief Bradley Wentland said.

The officer was shot multiple times but is expected to survive.


At least three people were injured in the attack, including the president of the temple, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

The police spokesman said authorities believe there was only one gunman involved in the attack that began around 11 a.m., contradicting initial reports of a possible hostage situation.

Wentland asked the media not to broadcast live images of the tactical teams still sweeping the temple.

In New York City, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly dispatched extra officers to Sikh temples around the city in response to the attack."

So is this a shooting every week now?

Really bad.

Seven people dead. Crazy... The incidence of serial killings has become epidemic here in the US apparently. I'm waiting for law enforcement to reveal the official motive of the crime and the identity of the killer.

I read about this earlier this morning, and my condolences go out to the victims and families...

It breaks my heart seeing all these killings and violent acts going on in the world, I always think "Why can't we all get along? Live in peace and be happy?". Unfortunately there are bad people out there and crazy people that are not in the right state of mind and will always hurt, it is because of these people that tragedies like this occur..

I also read that this was a hate crime and the shooter was white in an updated article... Even worse... I learned this year in Global History, that all religions are rather peaceful (there are bad apples, like in any group/demographic) which makes me even sadder... I mean we are all different people, with different views and values, but there is no sense in harming or even taking away the life of someone who has different views from you or are a different religion/race.. This is coming from a peaceful Catholic teen who has respect/love for people of all different cultures/backgrounds..

It appeared like the suspect thought that these Sikhs were Muslim due to the Turban, because the suspect was wearing a 9/11 tatoo. I'm so sick of the perception that Sikhs are Muslim, and I'm disgusted with the stereotype that all terrorists are Muslim. Many politicians and celebrities have in fact cultivated the stereotype that "all terrorists are Muslim" when they talk about "wiping out Muslim extremism." For goodness sakes, there are terrorists from all religions and secular terrorists as well. What was the whole Kony 2012 about? It was about a Christian terrorist.

I'm speaking here as someone who saw what happened to Sikhs and Muslims in my neighborhood after 9/11. I hoped that I'd never see such targeting of religions ever again, but I guess that's too much to ask.

Q10 you may have been too young to remember but what about "white supremacist" i.e Tim Mcveigh with the 1995 OKC Bombing and the 1993 Waco fiscaso?

Back to yesterday tragic mass shooting. The shooter this morning is named Wade Michael Page. Page was rumored to be a "skinhead" or white supremacist who was dishonorable discharged in the late 1990's. Not to mention after being killed by police he was found to have a "Sept. 11" tattoo all over his body. This is awful is generally most people of the Hindu faith are peace loving. Got say when will the bloodshed stop?

I was one year old when the OKC bombing happened, but I did know that it was caused by a "white supremacist." I'm not too familiar with the Waco siege, but I now know what happened.

Sikhs are not Hindu. Sikhism and Hinduism are different religions. Sikhism is monotheistic, while Hinduism is polytheistic.
