Why the does this continue happening...Mass Shooting at Sikh Temple in Oak Creek, Wisconsin
A mass shooting has occurred at a Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wisc., just outside Milwaukee.
At least four people have been reported injured in the mass shooting and no suspect has been identified. Hospitals in the area were told to be ready for up to 20 shooting victims, according to police radio reports.
According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, a SWAT team entered the temple after the shooting and evacuated the uninjured members.
Among those shot was the president of the temple, the Journal Sentinel reported.
The incident reportedly occurred around 10:45 a.m. at the temple, where people were gathering for a morning service.
According to information broadcast over police radio, a witness to the shooting told law enforcement the shooter was a white male, bald, with a heavy build. He was wearing a sleeveless T-shirt, according to Oak Creek Patch. He was last seen with two handguns.
A spokeswoman for Froedert Hospital, the main trauma center in the Milwaukee area, said that two men were taken there and the hospital was ready to receive more.
There are more than a dozen ambulances parked outside the temple, and police moved media and a handful of bystanders to an area near the temple.
Oak Creek police have not released any information yet on the shooting.

I hope this doesn't become another gun thread.
I really wish it was easier to get a concealed carry permit here in CA.
RIP to the victims and my thoughts are with their families
Wow. RIP to the innocents, this is really a bad day and a reflection of how idiotic and ignorant our culture really has become.
i'm guessing its a rivalry between 7-11's.
I'm going to guess he was a complete idiot, and didn't know the difference between Sikhs and Muslims.
I hope groups from both sides stop using tragedies like these for gun agendas.
Rip victims.
This.
I'm willing to bet this is someone who's been fear mongered to death about the "Muslim Brotherhood" by neocons like Mic e Bachmann, Rick Santorum, etc. and thought he was attacking a place where they congregate.
Well, at least you're above all that "political talk" right after a shooting.
Who said I was?

No...they're too busy trying to make it a religion thread. Isn't it possible it was just some stupid ass insane person?
Rip
Yeah...
It was a stupid ass insane person who thought he was killing a bunch of Muslims and did so because politicians like Mic e Bachmann and Rick Santorum had convinced him that there's "Muslim Brotherhood" colluding to destroy America.
Only in America right?
Likely, either way it's sad.
Sikh's are warriors, that's prob why noone reported dead yet
an american terrorist
more false flags to take guns. they will not stop until they take our guns or there is an uprising.
this kind of thing didn't happen for hundreds of years outside of rare instances. ONLY now is it becoming an issue.
