[QUOTE="Archived_Member16, post: 169034, member: 884"] [COLOR="Navy"] [B][SIZE="5"]Authorities ID suspect in Wis. killings[/SIZE][/B] [B][COLOR="Red"]Authorities say Wade Michael Page, 40, was former Army soldier[/COLOR][/B] UPDATED 7:36 AM CDT Aug 06, 2012 [B]OAK CREEK, Wisconsin (CNN) -[/B] The man suspected of shooting and killing six people at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin on Sunday is former Army soldier Wade Michael Page, 40, law enforcement officials say. Authorities said Page was later shot and killed in a gun battle with police officers. The FBI had is determining a motive and investigators were looking into whether the attack might be classified as domestic terrorism. Tom Ahern, a spokesman for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, would not elaborate on the gunman's motives. He also would not elaborate on the man's tattoos. Kanwardeep Singh Kaleka, a member of the five-year-old temple in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, said those inside the gurdwara -- or Sikh house of worship -- described the attacker as a bald, white man, dressed in a white T-shirt and black pants and with a 9/11 tattoo on one arm -- which "implies to me that there's some level of hate crime there." Because of their customary beards and turbans, Sikh men are often confused for Muslims, and have been the targets of hate crimes since the September 11, 2001, attacks on New York and Washington. As officials investigate what allegedly made Page to go on his shooting spree shortly before the main Sunday morning service, America's Sikh community struggled to come to grips Monday with the brutal attack. "It's probably somebody not in their right mind," Justice Singh Khalsa, a temple member since the 1990s, said late Sunday. "It's possibly a hate crime, somebody not understanding the religion." The victims ranged in age from their late 20s to about 70, said Khalsa, who helped translate witness accounts for authorities. One of the dead was a priest named Prakash Singh, who recently immigrated to the United States with his wife and two young children, Khalsa said. The shooting also claimed the life of congregation president Satwant Kaleka, according to his son. Satwant Kaleka's son, Amardeep, said his father was shot trying to take down the gunman in the temple. His mother hid in a closet. Authorities have not formally released the names of the deceased. The three victims who were wounded remained in critical condition early Monday morning at Milwaukee's Froedtert Hospital. One had been shot in the abdomen and chest; another in the face, and the third in the neck, the hospital said. Meanwhile in India -- the birthplace of Sikhism -- Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said he was "shocked and saddened" by the shooting. "That this senseless act of violence should be targeted at a place of religious worship is particularly painful," Singh, himself a Sikh, said Monday. "India stands in solidarity with all the peace-loving Americans who have condemned this violence." The country's main Sikh political party, the Shiromani Akali Dal, planned to hold a demonstration in New Delhi's embassy district Monday to protest. Sunday's attack occurred about 10:30 a.m. (11:30 a.m. ET), when temple members were reading scriptures and cooking food in preparation for the main Sunday service and community lunch. The temple has more than 350 members. According to witnesses, the gunman started shooting in the parking lot, killing at least one person. He then entered the temple and continued firing, they said. Women who were in the kitchen preparing meals for the congregants "were fortunate enough to basically duck down and dodge" the bullets, said Kanwardeep Singh Kaleka. Some ran to safety outside, others sought refuge in the temple's basement, while many huddled together tightly in the pantry. The gunman shot and wounded the first officer to respond to the scene, Oak Creek Police Chief John Edwards said. A second officer returned fire, killing the shooter, and bringing an end to the bloodshed, according to the chief. A single 9mm semi-automatic pistol believed to have been used by the gunman was found at the scene, a law enforcement source with direct knowledge of the investigation said. It took several more hours for authorities to thoroughly sweep the building and the surrounding area, checking for clues and signs of additional gunmen, as some witnesses had suspected. Police spent Sunday night searching the shooter's home in nearby Cudahy, a short distance from the temple, April Reyna, who lives around the corner from the shooter's house, said she had said hello to him on one or two occasions and that he seemed pleasant and quiet. National and state political leaders -- including Gov. Scott Walker -- also offered condolence after the killings, which came two weeks after a massacre at a Colorado movie theater that left 12 dead and dozens more wounded. Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney called the slaying "a senseless act of violence and a tragedy that should never befall any house of worship." And from the White House, President Barack Obama said the United States had been "enriched" by Sikhs, "who are a part of our broader American family." "My administration will provide whatever support is necessary to the officials who are responding to this tragic shooting and moving forward with an investigation," Obama said. The Sikh religion originated in northern India around 1500 and has about 25 million followers. The United States is home to about 700,000 Sikhs, nearly all of Indian origin. The men are easily identifiable by their beards and turbans, a tradition that's lasted for 500 years. But the attire and appearance have also meant that they are often mistaken for Muslims, and are targets of anti-Islam attacks from those who seek to avenge the September 11 attacks. The first person murdered in retaliation for the 9/11 attacks was a Sikh - a gas station owner in Mesa, Arizona, named Balbir Singh Sodhi who was shot five times by aircraft mechanic Frank Roque on September 15, 2001. In the intervening years, the Sikh Coalition, a New York-based advocacy group, reported more than 700 attacks or bias-related incidents. CNN's Brian Todd, Harmeet Shah Singh, Poppy Harlow, Ed Payne, Ted Rowlands, Marlena Baldacci, Matt Smith, Steve Almasy, Greg Botelho, Shawn Nottingham, Carol Cratty, Susan Candiotti and Deborah Feyerick contributed to this report.
