The man behind the death of six people at a Sikh gurudwara was confirmed to be an ex-military member and part of neo-Nazi bands; tattoos on his corpse also confirmed he was part of non-Neo Nazi white supremacist groups.
Like with Anders Behring Brievik, Wade Michael Page, 40, believed in ethnic cleansing and opened fire
at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday, starting shooting in the parking lot, killing at least one
person. He then entered the temple and continued firing.
Police spent Sunday night searching the shooter's home in nearby Cudahy. As well as the Sikh casualties, Lieutenant Brian Murphy, a 51 year old policeman, was shot nine times by Page but is recovering in hospital.
The record label for Page, Label 56; stated they are not proud of what Page did while other White Supremacist groups such as Stormfront and the KKK believed what Page did was wrong.
In the wake of the shooting, New York-based Sikhs for Justice has pledged $10,000 award to Officer Murphy while India's Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, US President Barack Obama and his rival Mitt Romney also expressed condolences.
