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.

Okay, I’ll say it just to get it out there.

I just heard an officer request if suspect info was available and dispatcher said Negative. The white guy thing could be early speculation as usual. Also, they’re going to ask Channel 12 to cut their helicopter feed.

No, you are right about the assassination. India Gandhi ordered the Indian military into the Golden Temple to expunge the Pakistan-supported militants who has holed themselves into the Sikh shrine. The man who lead this campaign to rid the temple of the militants was Sikh Indian military officer. Indira Gandhi’s body guard, a Sikh, assassinated her for ordering the military action which damaged the facade of the shrine.

The Golden Temple is the most important shrine to Sikhs.

Sikhs are neither Muslims nor from the Middle East. Sikhism is a religion of India. The roots of Sikhism lie in Punjab (India). Sikhs make up 60% to 70% of the total population of Punjab, which is the only region in the world where Sikhs are in the majority.

Too many times those first reports are proven to be wildly wrong.

Exactly. Remember what the Brian Ross and ABC News first reported about the Aurora shooter. These "anonymous" early statements rarely turn out to be accurate

I’m with you on that one. The timing of this seems suspicious since Aurora didn’t play out the way the statists had hoped. Of course it could also be TROP, some kind of family dispute, or some nutcase who felt ripped off at a gas station. THe media and statists will look to exploit this one like they always do.

Local Fox affiliate reporting SWAT entered and took down 3 shooters. We’ll see if it’s true. Hopefully.

And yes, prayers for all victims, and hot lead for the shooters.

Prayers up. If there is more than one shooter, my bet is on Chechen Islamists.

Well, taking into account today's headlines, how do they feel about homo marriage? Have they spoken out? Do they donate?

I mean, seriously, why else would anyone target these peaceful people other than their beliefs? They're so peaceful, most people don't even know they exist.
