Seven people were shot and killed today at a Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wis., in what officials are treating as a case of domestic terrorism.

Though police have not given any details on the identity or motive of the shooter, or released the identities of the victims, sources have told ABC News the shootings are the work of a "white supremacist" or "skinhead."

This evening, the FBI and a bomb squad arrived at a home in Cudahy, Wis., near Oak Creek, and ABC News Milwaukee affiliate WISN reported the action appeared to be related to the temple shootings earlier in the day.

Authorities also were trying to trace a single, semiautomatic handgun recovered at the scene, sources told ABC News.

Weird that the boy doesn’t mention the OWS or Black Pampers in his commie propaganda. It’s the “tea party” (Not to be confused with the TEA Party). Very weird.

[funfan]

Nothing is ever as it seems especially these days.

[Amberdawn]

The dailymailUK had a report that said the cops are basing the white supremacist idea on the dead shooters tattoos.

[jmacusa]

Was the shooter driving a white van too?

[nhwingut]

Supposedly an Army Vet with 9.11/Never Forget tats.

[funfan]

And what would make him a skinhead - being a Veteran or his 9/11 tattoos. I don't think officials have got their narrative straight yet.

[Ms Mable]

My sentiments as well. Will this one be sealed???

[Ronin]

That’s what I’m feeling. This is just too pat.

[The Antiyuppie]

If the “supremacist” story is true, it’s really bad; I myself was shocked after 9/11 at how many Americans actually thought Indians were Muslim - and a lot of those people apparently sat through at least four years of college. You would think something would have sunk in via osmosis if nothing else.

Fox News: Sikh Temple President’s brother says he has passed away. Tells media they are partially responsible for hate.

[virgil]

Wouldn’t a terrorist know his target better? Like the difference between a Muslim and a Sikh? I still have doubts.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Oh, believe me when I tell you, he most ASSUREDLY had a “cock of the walk” attitude as he walked around, blowing the brains out of people’s heads with the weapons he carried.

[nhwingut]

Obama is going to milk this one for at least a month.

Yep. And Romney will be even more timid. If that's possible.

And forget about any of his radical past coming up now as that would be considered inciting racial animosity.

“Federal law enforcement officials told NBC News the suspected gunman had no obvious connection to domestic terror or white supremacist groups and apparently was not on any list of suspected terrorists. The suspect was in his early 40s, and while he had an arrest record, it was for minor traffic offenses, a federal official said, NBC reported. “
This is from the India Times so why are the news outlet's here saying he is a skinhead when this one says he is not and has not connection to domestic terror. I also thought it was interesting that the only run in with the law he had was a traffic violation same as the Batman Killer.

no tonly they, that they claim to know the motive, when he is dead and unable to state his motive.

[Migraine]

a traffic violation same as the Batman Killer

Yeah, and according to reports, lived on a street same as the batman killer's last name: "Holmes".

[El Gato]

If he is an actual skinhead white supremacist, the FBI probably knows who he is and has a record on him.

Perhaps one of their plants or informants? It would not be the first time.

Evidently what NBC is giving India Times is for Indians’ consumption.
