Dead Gunman Identified
HUFFINGTON POST
The suspect in the Gurdwara massacre who killed six in Wisconsin on Sunday, August 5, 2012, has been identified as 40-year-old Wade Michael Page.
Authorities told CBS News this morning that Page -- who was also killed in a shootout with cops -- opened fire at a suburban Milwaukee gurdwara, critically wounding three and killing six worshipers during Sunday services.
Page is reportedly a former U.S. Army soldier, once attached to the Fort Bragg Army installation in North Carolina, Fox News reported.
Police and the FBI haven't revealed a possible motive in the Sunday morning rampage that shocked Oak Creek.
A man claiming to be Page's landlord told the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel that he was white and single. The duplex Page rented from Kurt Weins was searched by police on Sunday.
An agent from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms told ABC News that the shooter had tattoos. The station also cited unnamed sources who alleged that the shooter was possibly a "skin head" or "white supremacist."
Four people were shot dead inside the large gurdwara were members gathering for prayer and mediation at the SikhTemple of Wisconsin. Three, including Page, were killed outside.
