More details from the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel:
A source familiar with the investigation said the shooter was a white male in his 40s who had been discharged from the Army. . . .
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.”
The Los Angeles Times is reporting that it was the gunman’s tattoos that caused the FBI to declare this a “domestic terrorism” case. What kind of tattoos? We don’t know yet.
The perp, Wade Michael Page, is definitely a skinhead. I spent much of the morning doing research on him at work and he was knee deep in skinhead, white supremacist activities.
He played in several bands associated with skinheads, including 2 years as the bass player with Youngland, and currently in Definite Hate. I’ve found photos of him wearing a Hammerskin skinhead t-shirt and Definite Hate played at a Hammerskin music festival a couple years ago.
He had a large Celtic cross tattoo on his upper arm and many, many others.
I found a gallery of photos of him and the band. In one performance, they are playing in front of Nazi flags.
