Omg. Why? Prayers up.

Maybe a Muslim did it?

[George Varnum]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but the supreme Religion of Peace has little use for Sikhs as I recall.

Not that there is any connection of course.

Must be those darn Methodists again..../s

How long before the media blames it on the tea party? Since it is a Sikh religious temple , sounds like a Muslim did it to me

Update from WTMJ:

The shootings happened at about 10:00 a.m. at the Sikh Temple, on the 7500 block of South Howell Avenue in Oak Creek.

“An officer arrived on scene. He engaged an active shooter. The officer was shot multiple times. He has been transported to a local hospital and is expected to survive,” said Wentlandt. “The shooter was put down.”

Pictures from Chopper 4 showed at least four people who were shot, though Oak Creek Police did not confirm those reports.

One witness told Newsradio 620 WTMJ’s Dan O’Donnell that at least one, possibly four gunmen were hiding inside the temple after they started shooting.

From a story posted in "JSOnline"...."One of the temple's committee members, Ven Boba Ri, said that based on communication with people inside the temple, the shooter was a white male in his 30s.

He must be connected with the Tea Party - has the MSM started communicating this yet?

It could also be just a run-of-the-mill jackass who saw the turbans and concluded incorrectly that they were Muslims.

That’s what I’m worried about.

Obama just keeps letting them into the U.S.A.

not that I’ve heard, but in Harry Reid-speak “the story is out there”....so I guess it’s up to the Tea Party to prove it was NOT them, right? That seems to be the new rules of the Left...

This is a horrific crime, very sad for everyone involved, and also as we know, this will only fuel the fires of those who want to control guns, no matter what may be disclosed about the type of weapon involved in todays act.

Have they found their Tea Party suspect yet? Brian Ross is working on Facebook as we speak.
