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.

Just “filling” air time.

Yeah. It keeps the viewers guessing and glued to the TV. I find that soooo irritating. As soon as we have it pretty much figured out, they pull the rug out from under us - "We were just kidding. That never happened."

If you didn’t notice CNN was looping the same old footage, you’d think 100 command vehicles and 1,000 dogs had been brought on the scene.

That said, I’m doing the same thing, listening to scanner and watching said loop.

They are calling in more and more police. Doesn’t sound like a scene wrapping up to me.

As Clinton would say, “It depends on what your definition of “good”, is.”

What I meant is their message mainly of peace rather than the anti-western stuff you sometimes see.

Governor Walker statement on Oak Creek incident

MADISON - Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker released a statement Sunday regarding the fatal shooting in Oak Creek.

It reads: "While the situation in Oak Creek continues to develop rapidly, we are working with the FBI and local law enforcement. I became aware of the situation late this morning and continue to receive updated briefings.

"Our hearts go out to the victims and their families, as we all struggle to comprehend the evil that begets this terrible violence.

"At the same time, we are filled with gratitude for our first responders, who show bravery and selflessness as they put aside their own safety to protect our neighbors and friends.

"Tonette and I ask everyone to join us in praying for the victims and their families, praying for the safety of our law enforcement and first responder professionals and praying for strength and healing for this entire community and our state."

And I guess the hamburgers thing was bogus.

Just to clean this up (i was listenting to the scanner when they put the order in).... The POLICE requested the 300 hamburgers to feed all of the first responders on scene. There were *6* different command vehicles on site, that's a LOT of LEO's. :)

Yes the gun control nuts will be out salivating, this time they will win. Get what you can NOW!!!!!
Come Holloween you will no longer be able to get hi cap mags and anything with a detachable mag. Plus i can see mail order ammo being banned and any purchase over 20 rounds will need full ATF approval. GOP will fold on this issue and O’Bomney will stand in support of The One.

When at first there were no reports of deaths, I was hoping that the shooter had failed to kill any of his victims. Unfortunately, he did what he killed out to do. He killed innocent people, and there are three in critical condition. The only consolation is that the shooter was taken out too.

I don’t understand how some are still “trapped”inside... What does that even mean if there’s not another shooter?

So they’re saying there’s just one shooter now?

Annoying, isn’t it?

Sort of a large news story, if you ask me...

CNN’s doing speculation while saying it’s too early to speculate.

Democratic Undergrounders are blaming Fox News, Free Republic, Islamophobes and, of course, GUNS.

Reporting now is it is only one gunman, who was killed by the police.

While I’m glad the shooter is dead, part of me wants to know what the hell was going on in his head. Hopefully he left enough evidence to get an idea, and I can be happy he was taken down.

“Unfortunately, he did what he killed out to do.”

That doesn’t make sense. It should be, “Unfortunately, he did what he SET out to do.”

By now the dead shooter has been identified, his home searched, work/friends identified and being fully investigated. Can’t help but think the visiting priest was the target or is somehow key to the shooter(s) motive.
