The trigger man, Wade Michael Page, a known White Nationalist.
URGENT: A 40-year-old Army veteran and suspected white supremacist who gunned down six inside a Milwaukee-area Sikh temple shot the responding officer eight to nine times before he was killed by police, authorities said Monday.
Officials said the gunman, whom they identified as Wade Michael Page, walked into the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin on Sunday and opened fire with a 9mm handgun as several dozen people prepared for morning services. The victims ranged in age from 39 to 84, authorities said. Three others were wounded, including 51-year-old veteran police officer Brian Murphy, who remains in critical condition.
Authorities said during a Monday press conference that there is no reason to believe anyone other than Page was involved in the shooting in the Milwaukee suburb of Oak Creek. But the FBI showed a photo of a “person of interest” whom they want to question in the investigation. The unidentified man showed up at the scene after the shooting and looked “suspicious,” Oak Creek Police Chief John Edwards said. The man left before police could interview him.
FBI Special Agent in Charge, Teresa Carlson, said a motive is still under investigation, and noted that authorities are looking at Page’s “ties to white supremacist groups.”
Another “person of interest” is also being sought; Jsonline reports:
At a news conference at 10 a.m., authorities said there were attempting to identify another person, a white male, who they described as “a person of interest.”
A man matching the photo officials showed was seen by Journal Sentinel reporters at the scene of the temple Sunday, possibly video taping what was going on. Anyone with information on the man is asked to call 1-800-CALL-FBI.
Here’s the person of interest’s photo:
This is the guy that the FBI wants to talk to. If you know this guy, get in touch with the FBI at the number listed above. Do NOT try and approach this man at all. He could be armed and very dangerous! Hopefully he will do the right thing and turn himself in to the FBI.
What really gets me, is that both sides; left and right are really trying to politicize this story and it is sucks frankly. You can read some of that here. I did a little bit of that myself; I simply said I feared our second amendment rights might be taken away. But, I think that might not be the case; although, I believe the left will try very hard to make that happen.
For the record; even the White Nationalists over at Stormfront.org are saying that this guy is someone outside of their normal circles. Needless to say, they are not happy with being associated with a murderer like that this guy. Also, for the record, I do not, nor have I ever, agreed with the mentality of these people.I wrote about this once, to defend myself from accusations of being a Neo-Nazi once. Neo-Nazi’s are most usually leftists. I am not, nor have I ever been, an ardent leftist. I was a working class Democratic Party voter. I was also pretty much not involved with politics or even worrying or thinking about it until 2006. I am now an Constitutional Conservative. There is a huge difference between those two camps —– trust me.
