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.

Maybe his girlfriend was a member of that Temple and he was seeking revenge..reminds me of the shooting that happened in Seal Beach, CA last year, deranged ex-husband of one of the salon workers went inside the salon, killed her, and 6 others inside the Salon, he didnt even know them but wanted collateral damage

Obama has found a way to spin it to his advantage. Mark my word. The man is a cold fish on any normal day or shooting. He doesn’t give a rat’s ass about those people unless it can benefit him or he needs to get out in front of something that might harm him.

Wisconsin is a swing state, Obama will go there, shed a few fake tears, then go right back to the golf course giving his homies a high five knowing he probably gained some votes for being so “Sympathetic” to the victims

Who's smarter?

a) someone who pays money to watch commercials
b) someone who gets better news with no commercials and doesn't have to pay anything

OK smart guy. I see you aren't too good with direct questions. But why don't you do all us FReepers a big favor. How DO you get Fox National News, with no commercials, and even a different feed than all of us dummies get, FOR FREE? Let us in on your genious methods.

Or are you just a liar? Inquiring FReepers want to know.

they are refusing to give information about missing family members to their families!

WTF?? There is something very suspicious and weird about this. The guy rented an apt a week ago. Witnesses say more than one shooter. Media/gov won't give the dead shooter's name out. And now families can't get info?!?!? Is this just mental and emotional torture for the fun of being in control or what?

I went back and read the CAIR news release. The primary point was that CAIR was empathetic to the hate and was also involved in helping in bringing light to the shooting of the others in Cally last year. I smell something and with Obama meeting with Jack and the boys at he White House I can guess what the headline will be in the AM. I hope I'm wrong.

Sounds like the hearses have arrived to take the bodies from the Temple now......(per police scanner reports) Im guessing the medical Examiner wants to get POSITIVE ID prior to notifications?

Federal law enforcement officials told NBC News the suspected gunman had no obvious connection to domestic terror or white supremacist groups and apparently was not on any list of suspected terrorists. The suspect was in his early 40s, and while he had an arrest record, it was for minor offenses, one federal official said.

A law enforcement official told NBC News the gunman was dressed in a white T-shirt and black tactical-style pants, which had several pockets for holding ammunition magazines. He was armed with a single handgun, the official said. His name was not released but police say they have a tentative ID and were searching his home. The location was not disclosed.

Officials told NBC News the suspect, who served in the U.S. Army, had many tattoos. The suspect had some kind of radical or white supremacist views but, as far as officials said they had heard, he was not in any kind of radical organization. His previous run-ins with law enforcement involved in traffic offenses, they said.

Wonder why not? Booby traps fears?Wonder why they decided to do a presser after saying they would not until tomorrow. I sure hope Scott Walker is being keep in the loop. He can do a lot to keep them honest.

Obama is going to copy Bill Clinton's OKC bombing playbook.
