The shooting at the Sikh Temple in Oak Creek about 10:15 a.m. Sunday that left at least seven people dead, including the shooter, and three people injured is being treated as a domestic terrorist incident, Oak Creek Police Chief John Edwards said.

Oak Creek police officers who responded to a 911 call about the shooting were helping a victim when the shooter ambushed one of the officers, shooting the officer multiple times.

A second Oak Creek officer returned fire, killing the shooter, Edwards said.

The wounded officer, described as at least a 20-year veteran of the department, was in surgery Sunday afternoon and was expected to survive, Edwards said during a 4 p.m. news conference.

Of those killed, four of the dead were inside the temple at 7512 S. Howell Ave. and three of the dead, including the shooter, were outside the temple.

Considering the culpability of Obama and Holder in Fast & Furious, it wouldn’t surprise me if Aurora and Milwaukee both are just steps in a massive Reichstag fire type event.

[MuttTheHoople]

Definitely a Tea Party Dittohead.

The Colorado shooter did have all those weapons

[risen_feenix]

This is going to be terrible if it turns out this is some poor veteran suffering PTSD who wasn’t smart enough to know that a Sikh is in no way a Muslim.

Not that shooting up a mosque would have been any better, but that would just be terrible.

Either the Lame Stream Media has learned a lesson from the Colorado tragedy(maybe) or the fact that they've haven't ''linked'' the shooter to the Tea Party might indicate it was a worthless Saracen bastard.

“Domestic Terrorism”...
without being there or inside the heads of the officials who have deemed it so it makes me wonder...

A “terrorist” does not work alone. If he does, it does him no good to get killed. Therefore, he was put up to it (like the suicide bomber) to be a small part in a larger “terror” scheme.

What do they “know” that makes them treat this as “domestic terrorism” so quickly?

[uncbob]

Maybe they just don’t know enough about the shooter yet

Sikh Temple shooting being treated as domestic terrorism

Why?

[silverleaf]

Wow, that was fast

Guess something wasn’t the same as the Ft Hood shooter’s “workplace violence”

[jmacusa]

That’s why I said ‘’might be’’.

FBI converging of Pennsylvania Dutch country.

[jjotto]

The fact that it is called terrorism means it wasn’t a muzzie. If it was a ma muzzie it would be a ‘personal’ or ‘neighborhood dispute’ or maybe ‘workplace violence’.

They already did Domestic=WhiteMale Terrorism=Rightwing Tea Party type.

[bray]

Wonder why it’s taking so long to release his name? Steponallofus needs to cross check some Tea Party Facebooks to make the connection.

What do they “know” that makes them treat this as “domestic terrorism” so quickly?

They know Americans aren't scared enough to go along with the program.

[jacknhoo]

And what is the latest on Fast and Furious, and the prosecution of Eric Holder?

[uncbob]

Brian Ross is on paid vacation, but I expect officials will roll back the domestic terrorism claim. Remember Ft. Hood.

They must have a reason and I am sure somebody must have leaked to the news people by now what it is --My guess was a nut job imitating Colorado and in this case thinking they were muslims

Calling it terrorism and calling in the FBI means it wasn't a left winger or muslim

Liberalism IS a mental illness.

[Lando Lincoln]

The shooter is apparently from Cudahy... The odds of him being a ‘bubba’ just went way up.

It would seem so but let's wait.

[jmacusa]

By Jove, you're right. It's hard sometimes to keep up with the politically correct spin these days, various code words, etc.
