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.

If the person's black or gay it's not terrorism either - those groups are 'protected'. I pray it's not a conservative - the press would love to rip us to shreds... Especially the New York Times...
Reichstag Fire
A Conservative isnt going to go into a place of worship and murder innocent people..It might have been a Loughner type whack job, or someone else..This is an election year, notice these shootings are all happening so close to the election, makes you wonder
Are there any "bubbas" in Wisconsin?
We have always been at war with Eastasia, and Tea Partiers have always hated Sikhs.
Sorry for being a complete newb at this but what is a “bubba”
They just stated on Fox that police have gone to a home in Cudahy and are not allowing reporters near. I imagine there will be updates sometime this evening.
It is just so sad.
Hehe. I take it you have never been to Wisconsin, or even met anyone from there?
Thanks - in my heart I know you’re right. It’s just that groups like NBC and ABC are after us - and you know what they would do if they could...
Check out the twitter hashtag #templeshooting. The agenda libs, racist libs out in full force. One pro-union poster says the “union” is the reason the gunman was taken down. More using this to attack Gov. Walker and push gun control. CNN being praised by lib
tweeters.
EVERYONE in the media is after the Tea Party..even Fox News jumped in today when I heard Gregg Jarrett say “Maybe the gunman mistook the Sikh’s for Muslims” OH COME ON, it doesn’t take a genius to tell the difference, and somehow that gives the shooter an excuse..the media is already going with the “Poor misunderstood Muslim” angle.
No need to worry. When was the last time -- if ever -- that a Conservative committed an act more heinous than maybe exceeding the speed limit or running a red light? All of the brutal crimes of the last hundred years have been the work of liberals. Joseph Stalin's wholesale slaughter of tens of millions came from his communist belief system. Likewise, evil socialist Adolph Hitler committed atrocity after atrocity. All of the assassination attempts on US Presidents or nominees were done by leftists. And, last but not least, the murderous Ted Kennedy was an unabashed liberal.
There may have been some crime committed by a Conservative but I've not heard of any. Unlike liberals, Conservatives are obedient to God and are good, salt-of-the-earth law-abiding people.
Uh...

...Frank Silva Roque was convicted last week of murdering Mesa gas station owner Balbir Singh Sodhi, whom prosecutors said was targeted because Roque thought the victim was Arab. Sodhi wore a turban and beard as part of his Sikh faith...
Plenty. Cudahy would be their capital. Seriously, the South has changed a lot... Now very mixed. Large Muslim and Hindu communities. The Islamic Societies Mosque is about two miles north of this temple.
Desperately searching . . . searching . . . searching . . .
Never been there, though I've met someone from there. It was a long time ago, he was visiting a neighbor, and I was just a kid. I have since come to recognize some of the things he said as evidence of neo-nazi white racialism.
However, he was not a "bubba." "Bubba" is a first name associated with Southern whites, especially of the lower classes. When have any people in the North been named "Bubba?"

You forgot to put “/sarc” in your posting. The tea partiers I know like Sikhs and their attitudes about things in general. Nikki Haley (born a Sikh) was put over the top by tea partiers and Sarah Palin.
Do you have ANY idea how long the media has been wanting to call something “Domestic terrorism”? They have phrase all dusted off and then find out some Muslim or Occupy type went crazy and it fizzles.
Please, please, please tell us this guy is a Tea Partier. :)
We can fan racial strife right before the election. :)

Dead guys is a large white man with 2 guns in a white “Wife Beater” T-shirt. They are now checking his week old rented apartment with bomb squads etc, and have evacuated his neighborhood.
