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.
I thought Sikhs only carried knives.
I’m sure there’s some MSM already salivating at the opportunity to blame this on some new Timothy, but I wouldn’t rule out the Amish just yet... While some ‘white’ people might have trouble picking these guys out from the bad guys, the bad guys have absolutely no problem going after Indians.
NBC: Oak Creek police, the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Department and other law enforcement agencies have responded, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reported.
A witness told officers the shooter was a white male, with a heavy build, bald head and wearing a sleeveless T-shirt, Oak Creek Patch reported.
Commie ‘RAT political advisors will be all over this like stink on a cowpie. Something else to exploit for the election!!!
Mutters might’ve mistaken them for Muzzies... when in fact they are one of the most lethal forces standing against Islam’s barbarism.
Let me guess, shooter thought they were muslim.
*Nutters.
TROP or OWS ?
I think that there's a fair amount of historical animosity between Sikhs and Hindus.Don't know where,if anywhere,moslems might fit into that mosaic.
The shooting happened at about 10:40 a.m. at the Sikh Temple, on the 7500 block of South Howell Avenue in Oak Creek.
Witnesses told Tom Murray of TODAY’S TMJ4 that someone opened fire inside the temple.
As of 11:40 a.m., a public safety dispatcher said that there was no active shooter on the scene. That shooter may be at a different location.

Nobody in their right mind targets the Sikhs.
Chances are all the shooter thought was that they're not like him.
Sikhs are NOT muslims. Their religion emphasizes a personal relationship with God, with no intermediaries (i.e. no Mohammed) . It stresses self-discipline, and unlike Islam is not negative towards non-believers and is not a political system. I find it a lot closer to wester, judeo-christian beliefs than Islam.
I've known and worked closely with several Sikhs in my life, and they were all fine, upstanding human beings. You can read more about it here.
“Mutters might’ve mistaken them for Muzzies...”
You’d really have to be blindingly ignorant to mistake Sikhs for Muslims. Doesn’t mean this guy was half a retard, but it’s almost beyond belief that someone, at this point, would make that mistake.
Darn right! We have few better allies against radical muslims.

BillyBob,Joe Billy or Bubba. Guessing who the neo-nazi perp’s name is.
I guess the big, white, bald-headed guy just walked in? How long was he in there, and did anyone confront him? After all, adult Sikh males usually wear a specific type of headwrap. A bald headed man would have stuck out like a sore thumb.
But I won't believe the 'bald-headed white guy' report until the story shakes out. Too many times those first reports are proven to be wildly wrong.
White? Yikes! Looks like Osama will have to tear himself away from those fundraisers to visit another swing state that needs some fake tears.
