Shooter who gunned down six at Sikh temple who was vocal member of Nazi punk band and was kicked out of the army
The skinhead former soldier who killed six people and critically wounded three at a Sikh temple yesterday was a frustrated neo-Nazi who had been the leader of a racist white-power band.
Wade Michael Page, who was kicked out of the army in 1998 when he worked at Fort Bragg in Psychological Operations, gave an interview two years ago to white supremacist website Label 56, telling them that he started the band End Apathy because of his wish to 'figure out how to end people's apathetic ways and start moving forward'.
The band's MySpace page says their music is a 'sad commentary on our sick society and the problems that prevent true progress'.
Witnesses said the 40-year-old opened fire just before services, entering the kitchen at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin in suburban Milwaukee at about 10.30am as women prepared a Sunday meal.
It sent worshippers fleeing to escape the barrage - with many hiding in cupboards and texting the outside world begging for help.
He was finally gunned down by police officer Lt Brian Murphy, 51, who was shot 'eight or nine times' and who is now recovering in hospital.

If he was a Nazi then he was your typical big government socialist. Any other big government socialists out there? Considering he is a big government socialist, he ought to be right up your alley.
Obama ought to say, "If you go out and kill a few people, you didn't do that, someone else made that happen." Then Obama ought to credit the government with giving him military training.
We have to do this to keep things consistent. Let's keep it real.
