At least four people were shot just after 10 a.m. Sunday at the Sikh Temple in Oak Creek, and a police SWAT team entered the building before noon and brought uninjured people out of the building at 7512 S. Howell Ave.

Among those who were shot was the president of the temple.

People were in the temple as early as 6:30 a.m. Sunday and many more were arriving for a service that was to begin about 11:30 a.m.

There were reports that children were taken to the building's basement after shots were fired.

This isn’t your random act of violence, this was a targeted killing

There are specified groups that are labeled capable of domestic terrorism; unless the "white shooter" had his "Tea Party" or "militia" card on him they wouldn't use the domestic terrorism label.

Yes..I am just wildly speculating. Just find it interesting tha lack of info being released. After aurora, we knew the guy’s name within a few hours. They ruled out terrorism immediately. Hell...even after Ft. hood shooting they would not say terrorism for days. It all points to Muslim perp IMHO.

Other possibility is that it is a lone nut but one with ties to conservative ideology hence the immediate ‘terror’ label. That would fit the WH play book perfectly.

If the shooter is white, they’ll leak it before the press conference tomorrow.

Fox News has been covering the shooting sporadically. First they ended the coverage for the Wall Street Journal report and then some political nonsense (regularly scheduled programming).

I also turned Fox off in favor of *choke* CNN because Fox had about 6 minutes of commercials interrupted by a 2 minute “update”.

So to claim Fox has been covering this non-stop, commercial free is simply wrong. CNN has had commercials, but they’ve been on the story pretty much exclusively, much more so than. Thems the facts, Jack.

Now in that time that CNN has been reporting non-stop, we’ve been getting every rumor and theory that has come down the pike. Is that better than sporadic and more accurate coverage? Probably not. That’s probably why the police don’t plan on giving another press conference until tomorrow morning.

And they just aired reports that there have been issues at this temple with threats of violence.

Please feel free to share the evidence of these reports with us.

“Please feel free to share the evidence of these reports with us.”

Why are you being such an obstinate d-bag on pretty much all matters? I’ve seen several interviews with Sikh’s outside the Temple making the claim that they’ve been threatened before, being confused for Muslims.

It’s been on TV, on CNN and Fox (clearly before you tuned in) so there’s no link to a story.

Interesting thast in both Aurora and todays “incident”...the folks INSIDE immediately said “MULTIPLE SHOOTERS” and yet....in both cases we only hear about a “LONE SHOOTER”....can that many people inside not be able to tell the difference between one and more than one shooter? (rhetorical)

Son of a victim being interviewed. His mother heard 30-50 shots. His father who is president of the temple, confronted shooter and was shot. He still does not know for sure if he is dead or at Froedtert.

If it were even a remotely conservative individual the media would have reported this to every one of the 9 billion people in the world about 1000 x already

Just curious: All LEOs and ATF etc are wearing horiz black tape across badges. Was there a LEO killed recently? For US Military casualties? Any idea?

Thinking there must be some loose ends to tie up if they don’t plan on saying any more about the killer for 16 hours. A lot can be taken care of in that amount of time.

LEOs now take precautions after having been targets....because they could/might be identified from camera footage.

”....can that many people inside not be able to tell the difference between one and more than one shooter? (rhetorical)”

That’s more understandable in the Theater - have you been to an ‘Action-Adventure’ movie in a modern Movie House, with modern sound systems??

(Hint - the sound effects approximate that of a Flash-Bang going off every few seconds - people in the audience (except for the stone deaf) are probably pretty disoriented...

Not sure how that would apply to a church, though.. ;)

If LEO AND ATF have them?....could it be for Brian Terry (Of Fast and Furious)???

I have no idea....just speculating...or they had a local LEO death. I might nose around the Wisconsin sites later and check it out.

Look... you obviously want a fight. I’m simply talking about what I saw on Fox.

Maybe you need to take up your petty little battle with others on this thread who disagree with you.

Others saw the same thing I did.

Fox aired a report saying that the temple had issues with threats from outside parties.

Seriously, just change your name to deer jerky already.
