The shooting happened just a couple hours back. No clear reports yet, but this article says 20 or more were injured.



A mass shooting at the Sikh Temple in Oak Creek, Wis. Sunday left 20 or more people injured including a policeman. In a chilling reminder of the Colorado shootings in Aurora at the "Batman" screening, the alleged gunman, a white male with two handguns, is on the loose.

Sunday, the Oak Creek Patch reported that shots were fired at the temple (in this photo) just before 11 this morning.

The Wisconsin shooting left nearly two dozen people injured from shots fired allegedly by a bald male with a heavy build wearing a sleeveless T-shirt. Reportedly, he was seen with at least two handguns at the Sikh Temple shooting.

Sources say Flight for Life has been called to the Oak Creek shooting scene for emergency airlifts of gunshot victims.

According to 620 WTMJ, police say there is no active shooter on the scene at the Sikh Temple crime scene. It's unknown if the alleged gunman is alive or in custody.

The mass shooting in Wisconsin comes on the heels of the Colorado shooting massacre that left over a dozen people dead and scores hospitalized for gunshot wounds. The alleged shooter, James Holmes was arrested and charged with numerous counts of murder.

Oak Creek is a tiny city. Pop. less than 50k.

The Americans are not too knowledgeable about the world or communities and people.

Joe the Plumber and Sarah Palin are the archetypal.

Therefore, having a beard and a turban is a dangerous attire in the US to stay alive.

That is the honest truth.

NBC tried to blame the Aurora, Colorado shootings on the Tea Party. Joe the Plumber was the perpetrator here?:rolleyes:

My experience in Milwaukee (Oak Creek is a Milwaukee suburb) suggests this is the not the behavior of general populace. People here are friendly. You would find non Caucasians roaming and mingling with others in Downtown Milwaukee or in Suburb hotspots at any time of day or night.
It is the work of a deranged mind.

As I said before on this subject......Americans are fools when it comes to general knowledge about these things.They would rather know what their characterless celebrity ate yesterday but they would not know the different between a Sikh and Muslim.In case they knew they would NEVER dare these cowards attack on Sikhs. :shocked:

They live in a Christian dominated community of broken families where there is not much room for everyone to learn about the other religions and ways of life.

Also it's not entirely the fault of Americans/Whites but also of Sikhs themselves since they don't seem to come out of their low profile.Forget about US because even in India a lot of people still don't properly know about Sikhism.Sikhs comes in limelight in the West mostly when there are some instances like these or when there were some internal clashes in EU on Gurudwara funds/seats. :tsk:
