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.

You can’t be serious.

Claiming the Aurora shooting was orchestrated by the Huseein adminsitration is just plain nuts.

It really is a silly thiing to even suggest.

Thus we know with 100% certainty that the perp was not a Mooselimb otherwise their would have never been any suggestion that this was an "act of terrorism."

Look for the fat bitch Big Sis to be making a statement anytime soon and the far left commies at the Souther Poverty Law Center to chime in.

But it IS a serious charge, and needs to be investigated.

Are YOU serious? Is Obama’s sending hundreds of heavy weapons UNTRACED to Mexican drug cartels for the purpose of rallying the American public into supporting harsh gun controls a silly thing to suggest?

FWIW, I have been watching the feed of the local ABC affiliate up there and they posted this: "Temple was hosting a special guest from India today."

Could this be a political assassination attempt? Just speculating...

Why are the holding back the name for this long? They can’t allow for an Islamic terrorist attack this close to the election because they want Obama reelected: So they are covering up evidence that the shooter is a Muslim.

Any hate for religious difference is wrong.

Did you actually think that statement through???

Think... I guess in you world the West should not have wiped out all those religions that kill others in the past...Cannibalist, Head Hunters, suttee, Thug-ism, Satanism etc.....or lets enslave in the name of a religion for example, islam, but in your world you can not hate the enslavement that religion brings.

There is a line that a religion can not cross for most people with a conscious....yes, you can hate evil.

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.

After a day of following the Fox non stop news all we know is one shooter killed several "priest" and that it was an act of "Domestic Terrorism."

So the police will have you believe that this is a hate crime against Sikhs. Odd that a stranger could pick out the priests among hundreds of people in a strange building so quickly. Does not sound like a deranged bigot to me. Sounds like revenge. Still no suspect's name even though they are going through his home now. Fox can't let us know who. They suck along with the really left wing media.
