Shooting at Sikh Temple

This Sunday a gunman opened fire and killed six people at a Sikh temple near Milwaukee before he was gunned down by the first officer to respond to the chaotic scene.

Before 10:30 am (GMT), the assailant started shooting to several dozen people gathered at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin for Sunday services. Afterwards several armed police officers wearing tactical gear and carrying assault rifles surrounded the temple with armored vehicles and ambulances.

The attacker had taken hostages inside the temple. When the police entered the building they found four people dead, and two were dead outside. Police had earlier said the officer who was shot killed the suspected shooter after exchanging some shots. The three people that were wounded are being treated at an area trauma center. (AV)
