OAK CREEK, Wis. — In what the police called an act of domestic terrorism, a gunman opened fire in a Sikh temple here on Sunday, killing at least six worshipers and injuring three others before being shot and killed in the parking lot.

The rampage ended in a shootout with the police. The gunman ambushed one of the first officers who arrived at the temple, shooting him several times, before another officer killed him, the authorities said Sunday afternoon. The officer remained in critical condition at a nearby hospital, along with the other two shooting victims.

The police did not release any details about the gunman or a possible motive for the shooting.

John Edwards, the police chief in Oak Creek, said at a news conference that the F.B.I. would lead the investigation because the shootings were being treated as an act of domestic terrorism.

The FBI, known for rapidly determining that any horrific attack is not related to terrorism, has called this act “domestic terrorism.” Odd that.

Still no name or description of the shooter. But they were able to determine this shooter was a terrorist, but of the domestic sort.

If he had shouted “Allah Akbar” then they would have called it “workplace violence.”

That was way fast

How do they know this wasnt yet another schizo gone berserk?
Or a love triangle or grudge shooting?

If he was a “terrorist” was he a dumb sumabitch who didn’t know the difference between a Sikh and a muslim?

DHS is desparately hungry for white terrorists to dilute the statistical fact that US domestic terrorism has been by MUSLIMS

Apparently he isn’t Muslim or they wouldn’t be using the ‘T’ word.

A 911 caller said he had 2 handguns. A FOX News talking head said they were probably automatic or semi-automatic.

Wouldn't you have liked to have read:

OAK CREEK, Wis. — In what the police called a thwarted attempt at terrorism, a gunman opened fire in a Sikh temple here on Sunday. The un-named gunman was stopped after firing into worshipers by an armed worshiper who fired twice, killing the assailant. Aside from the gunman, three people were injured, one critically.

Still a bad situation, but it could have ended much better. Oh, but that's right... The libs/commies want us disarmed so we have to wait for the police while innocents get to die by the dozen. When seconds count, the police are only minutes away. A somewhat cutsie slogan, but also very, very true.

They have not yet released the shooter’s full name, but they know his middle name is Mohammed.
