Sources name suspect in deadly Sikh temple shooting
Law enforcement sources say Wade Michael Page, 40, shot and killed six people at a temple near Milwaukee. According to one source, he was an Army vet who may have been a white supremacist. FULL STORY
Of course at this time it is purely on hearsay that this fellow was a Racist, but it would not surprise me if he was a full blown White Supremacist. After decades of brain washing lying bullshit from the right wing propaganda machine it's only a matter of time these people poor out of the sewers with their heads enraged beyond logic looking to kill anything they have been programmed too!
NEW: Law enforcement officials name the shooter as Army veteran Wade Michael Page, 40
Those inside the temple say the man had a 9/11 tattoo on one arm
Those killed by the gunman range in age from their late 20s to about 70
The wounded remain in critical condition
Oak Creek, Wisconsin (CNN) -- The man who shot six people to death and wounded three others during a rampage at a Sikh temple in a Milwaukee suburb was an Army veteran who may have been a white supremacist, according to a law enforcement source involved in the investigation.
Law enforcement sources familiar with the investigation named him Monday as Wade Michael Page, 40. One law enforcement official said he owned the gun used in the shooting legally.
He had apparently served on active duty, a U.S. official familiar with his record said. The source declined to give further details.
The officials asked not to be named because they are not authorized to speak on the record about the shooting investigation.

Relatives of Satwant Kaleka, the president of the temple in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, said Monday that he was killed fighting the attacker.
"From what we understand, he basically fought to the very end and suffered gunshot wounds while trying to take down the gunman," said Kanwardeep Singh Kaleka, his nephew.
"He was a protector of his own people, just an incredible individual who showed his love and passion for our people, our faith, to the end," he said, near tears.
"He was definitely one of the most dedicated individuals I have ever seen, one of the happiest people in the world."
Earlier, the FBI said that it had not determined a motive for the Sunday morning shooting and that investigators were looking into whether the attack might be classified as domestic terrorism.
Kaleka, a member of the temple, said those inside the gurdwara, or Sikh house of worship, described the attacker as a bald white man, dressed in a white T-shirt and black pants and with a 9/11 tattoo on one arm -- which "implies to me that there's some level of hate crime there."
Tom Ahern, a spokesman for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said the gunman had a military background but would not elaborate. He also would not elaborate on the man's tattoos.
Because of their customary beards and turbans, Sikh men are often confused with Muslims, and they have been the targets of hate crimes since the September 11, 2001, attacks on New York and Washington.

While officials try to piece together what prompted the man to go on his shooting spree shortly before the main Sunday morning service, America's Sikh community struggled to come to grips Monday with the brutal attack.
"It's probably somebody not in their right mind," Justice Singh Khalsa, a temple member since the 1990s, said late Sunday. "It's possibly a hate crime, somebody not understanding the religion."
The victims ranged in age from their late 20s to about 70, said Khalsa, who helped translate witness accounts for authorities.
One of the dead was a priest named Prakash Singh, who recently immigrated to the United States with his wife and two young children, Khalsa said.

It goes without saying that if this guy really did gun down these innocent people then he's scum, but if the source that he was a white supremacist is indeed the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), then it is automatcally not credible.
The last time the SPLC came out with their anti-white conspiracy theories it was with Hutaree raid. Well the Hutaree had most of their charges dropped and it was proved in court that it was an FBI provacatuered set up.
Just like always, when the charges were dropped, Mark Potok and the SPLC did not appear on the TeeVee to correct his organization's errors.
