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.

“Is this just mental and emotional torture for the fun of being in control or what? “

Could be there are more “persons of interest” and they want to starve these people of tactical information.

That would make sense. No need to freak out the wrong families.

the last report mentioned a fire truck ladder going up into the direction. It’s hard for them to see through the trees, being a block away.

The suspect had some kind of radical or white supremacist views

Must have interviewed those that knew him

If you have Google Earth, it appears to be the house between “3749 e holmes st, cudahy, wi” and 3761 e holmes. Note it is not either one of those addresses specifically. It’s the blue house between the brick house on the west and the yellow house on the east. North side of the street.

If NBC is getting leaks from the Feds already , you can guess what is up and how Obama is fixing to spin this whole thing. Now they are saying he was in his forties? What happened to the 20 yr old? Oh geez...this is gonna be politicized to the hilt.

Obama was fixing on spinning it the moment it happened..that is how sick leftists are..the moment it happened they were already blaming Michelle Bachmann and Scott Walker..So now the guy is in his 40s, but before the guy was in his 20s, well isn’t it easy to confuse a 20 year old with a 40 year old/sarc

Is that the one who grew up in Oak Creek and now lives on the same block as shooter?

She was interviewed on a couple channels.

This young lady’s name was Amber and her grandmother lives next door to one of the houses being searched. Her grandmother was getting ready to go to church when she was told to leave her house.

From the Milwaukee JSOnline:

Shortly after 5 p.m., a team of law enforcement officers, including from the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Department and the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, surrounded a duplex in Cudahy. It was unclear whose home it is and how it may be related to the shooting itself.

Authorities have cordoned off the 3700 block of E. Holmes Ave., just south of downtown Cudahy, where they have surrounded a duplex. A large contingent of law enforcement and fire department vehicles are in the vicinity. The neighborhood was being evacuated.

Kurt Weins said he rented the upper flat of the duplex authorities were searching to a single man in his 40s about month ago. Weins lives across the street from the duplex..

Weins said he had just been interviewed by law enforcement authorities and said he was uncomfortable providing much detail. However, he said, he was surprised by the attention his tenant has attracted.

“I had him checked out and he definitely checked out,” Weins said. “The cops told me they don’t want me to say nothing right now.”

A We Energies worker has been escorted by law enforcement officers to the duplex to shut off the gas, and at about 7:40 p.m. authorities were using a bucket truck to look into the windows of the upper flat.

Neighbors had said earlier police had entered the building; it’s unclear if they have entered.

A military-style Humvee with FBI markings on the side of it moved up the street shortly after 6 p.m. with its lights flashing, moving along the west end of the block.. Authorities in green military uniforms with FBI insignia were seen moving up and down an alley and a street near the duplex.

At about 7:35 p.m., three law enforcement officers wearing military gear and carrying heavy weapons, were loaded into a basket overhanging the cab of a St. Francis Fire Department ladder truck. The truck moved back slowly down S. Kirkwood Ave. Meanwhile, the area near the duplex was saturated with ambulances from a variety of jurisdictions, fire engines, SUV’s and a Humvee with FBI markings.
