No, you're not wrong. But the description, the veracity of which has yet to be ascertained, posted by Halogamer, says:

Quote:

"According to recent information broadcast over police radio, a witness to the shooting told law enforcement the shooter was a white male, with a heavy build, bald head and wearing a sleeveless T-shirt. He was last seen with two handguns."

White, bald guy.

I hope they find him before he does any more.

I live in Milwaukee county (city of Milwaukee) so this is all they are talking about. Our city newspaper along with most news stations here are reporting about 4 dead along with tons of people wounded and a hostage situation.

This is a quote from most of the new stations around Milwaukee "Suspect is still at large, white male, large build, white sleeveless tshirt last seen with 2 guns."

Makes it even worse that it was at a temple :(

Fox news said that the swat team killed atleast one person that was believed to be a shooter.

Of course not, SWAT doesn't open fire at random.

Ramirez · (08-05-2012, 05:34 PM)

CNN just said multiple gunmen? Sigh

I'm sure one of the SWAT members will post on Gaf to let us know.

Sure that's right? I am not hearing anything about the shooting.

Too many crazy fucks in this world.

Dear Racists Nitwits:

Sikh's are NOT Muslims. Yes, I know the brown skin can confuse your tiny brains, but they're not alike in any way other than perhaps that their skin tones might be similar. So if you're going to shoot someone because they're not white, you might want to try harder being a bigot, But if you're going to half-ass it like this, you might just want to stay at home and shoot yourself instead because damn.....seriously....Sikhs? What the fuck they ever do to anyone?

You sure, they are still saying "One suspect" and he is at large.

edit: they updated it to gunmen based on what another station is saying.

Yeah, the Oak Creek police feed on Tune In Radio isn't saying anything about this either.

halogamer · (08-05-2012, 05:39 PM)

The guy probably thought he was going into a "mosque" to shoot some "terrorrists.

Four_Chamber · (08-05-2012, 05:40 PM)

Awful, awful... I have no words. I hope they catch the scumbag who did this. For me, this is just as disturbing as any other shooting. People getting killed while in the act of worship is a despicable act.

Davedough · (08-05-2012, 05:40 PM)

Fuck man.... Sikhs?? Why? Every single Sikh person I've ever met in my life has been a gentle and kind individual. So is this a case of some fucking redneck saw a "towel" and thought it was a muslim terrorist hang out? Horrible news.

Yea, they said shooters were still inside multiple times.

Ok, now the guy said at least one, maybe more inside.

My point is how can they shoot and kill the person "believed to be a killer"? They're not going to try to catch him and take him to court or at least thoroughly verify that he was the shooter?

Do you believe a racist cares enough to distinguish between a Muslim and a Sikh? If he did, he'd be well on his way to not being a racist.

halogamer · (08-05-2012, 05:45 PM)

I wish they hadn't killed the guy so suddenly. I wanted to see him go to court and see what he had done.

crimzonflame · (08-05-2012, 05:47 PM)

I remember even here in Canada, Sikh and Hindu temples were vandalized after 9/11. I do not know how people can be so ignorant.

I guess that if the guy(s) are still armed and there are civilians close...you shot them instead of risking more peoples lives.

Because they're protecting people's lives. If you're threatening the lives of others, you've essentially forfeited the right to yours.

Davedough · (08-05-2012, 05:50 PM)

I dont see where they said the shooter was killed. Is that true?

cartoon_soldier · (08-05-2012, 05:50 PM)

Not going to jump to conclusions, but if this is related to religion...fuck this shit.

ezekial45 · (08-05-2012, 05:50 PM)

Why aren't people talking about this? The other news networks are barely reporting on this.

Chakan · (08-05-2012, 05:50 PM)

Yeah just saw this on CNN.

Apparently about 100 people were inside on the moment the shooting started. Suspect still at large, maybe still inside the sikh temple. And now the CNN host said "multiple shooters", at least 2 gunmen.

Crazy stuff, eh? One massacre per month now. My condolences to the relatives of the victims. May God bless you in this moment of pain.

It's just starting to get traction nationwide.

Fiction · (08-05-2012, 05:51 PM)

Listening to the police scanner now, still a hostage situation? All I've gotten so far is that there is an officer in the woods.

spiderman123 · (08-05-2012, 05:52 PM)

Apparently the gunman inside is hunting people down?! Is this confirmed?! If so, WTF!!!!

I have no idea what is hard to understand about why the gunman would be shot. Maybe you can explain to me what you think should have happened.

What if the armed person was a card carrying NRA member with a permit to conceal trying to stop the shooter? How would SWAT be able to tell it's the shooter or a citizen trying to help?
