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.
Given the guy is supposedly dead (with no trial), why should the FBI try to stifle speech in this case? Very bizarre.
“why should the FBI try to stifle speech in this case?”
Maybe they are looking for accomplices, and news leaks might tip them off?
Thanks mojo. Good to see you again!
Didn’t the early reports say there was a guest speaker from India?
Actually, I do believe the Sikh doctrine prohibits consumption of ritually slaughtered food. No halal, no kosher, no vedic rituals allowed. No throat cutting or ritual exsanguination. Giving thanks to the all-mother or all-father before slaughtering is probably out or order. It’s probably ok to give thanks to God (or to the animal spirit for you pagans) after the beast is brought down.
The Joint Terrorism Task Force, a collection of federal, state and local law enforcement, was on the scene of the shooting by 1 p.m. Those task forces, several of which are situated around the country, typically work quietly to prevent terrorism attacks but also respond to mass shootings to help coordinate law enforcement. Sources said it was too early to say if this will be considered an act of terrorism.
U.S. Attorney James Santelle said he expected federal law enforcement will play a role in the investigation. Exactly what that role is remains to be seen, Santelle said.
“I am clearly anticipating that there will be federal investigative support,” Santelle said.
The FBI and U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives both confirmed that their agents were on the scene of shooting and assisting local law enforcement. The agencies declined comment, saying Oak Creek police are the primary point of contact. The ATF did say that the gun or guns used in the shooting will be traced to the original purchaser.
The Wisconsin Department of Justice also was said to be sending agents to assist in the investigation.
Maybe they're expecting something bigger that they just can't bring themselves to alert the public.... and the perps.
Get ready for the onslaught from this administration and the left. I smell another gifford’s replay or wellstone memorial with constant harranging from the left wing press about ‘right wing conservative bigots’.
Let’s put it this way.....
The money men and powers behind SockPuppet @ 1600 PA Ave. are going to want their investments made good come November. 0bama can retreat to his new bunker under the WH and blow everything up if he loses, but he will have to answer to them.
It’s not so much that he and his overlords would do anything and everything they need to to win, but that if they LOSE, who will have to pay what price for that loss and how? It’s no secret that 0bama hates the US and its people, traditions and power. It’s also no secret that the 0bamites would screw their grandmothers or grandbabies in order to win.
Actually, however, this isn’t a win/lose situation. This is about conquest. People around and including 0bama want to conquer the US. They will do anything to do it.... And they want it ALL.
And if they can’t finish the job, they’d be happy enough to so cripple the US or burn it to the ground so that it would not be able to recover. You don’t need martial law to enslave people when you’ve built in tax and debt that blows to $25,000,000,000 in the next ten years.
The only thing that gives me any peace is that Scott Walker is sending the Wisconsin DOJ and his state agencies.If this is Islamic terrorism...he will get the word out. I don’t believe the man acted alone or was a lone nut case white supremist either...not unless he had help from some enemies of the temple. Just not buying it folks. It’s been a long time since 911 and most folks know the difference between the two by now.
It just got chilly in here...
You left out three zeros: It’s $25,000,000,000,000
I used to live next door to a sikh in Mississippi. He would down a bottle of Johnny Walker black every night. He didn’t have the special underwear or carry a knife, but he NEVER shaved his face.
My EYES! You are posting money porn!
OK. I’m done. On both sides.
per police scanner, FBI requesting light towers be brought to the scene. I know not which scene.
I don’t know, so here is my thumbsuck speculation. I think the reason that went fed as fast as it did, and is being called domestic terrorism, is that the left’s most fervent wish has come true...it is a white supremacist, military vet or something along those lines, and they are setting up to make it a huge operation to attack the 2nd.
Get ready for non-stop trumpeting by the MSM of how the white supremacist Tea Party and conservative right wing are out of control in America, from now until the election.
bttt
LOL!
The Feds lost control of the CO shooting because the locals were in charge of the investigation too long. They are not going to let that happen this time. No more mistakes with the template. The information that is released will be Controlled in DC. Never let a crisis go to waste.
