FBI: Sikh temple gunman killed himself after being wounded by police

AP / FBI

An undated photo provided by the FBI shows Wade Michael Page, who went on a killing rampage in a Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wis.

The gunman who killed six people and wounded four others at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin before being shot by an officer died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, the FBI said Wednesday.

Wade Michael Page, 40, died at the scene of Sunday’s mass shooting at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin in Oak Creek.

Authorities originally said Page was fatally shot by an officer responding to the scene. At a press conference Wednesday, Milwaukee FBI Special Agent in Charge Teresa Carlson said investigators have since determined that Page shot himself in the head after wounding one officer and being shot in the stomach by a second officer.

Teresa Carlson, the lead FBI investigator in the probe of the Sikh temple shooting in Wisconsin, tells the media that suspected gunman Wade Michael Page died from a self-inflicted gunshot.

"The evidence indicates that the second responding officer who shot Page in the stomach, thereby neutralizing the threat -- and by the way, I've seen the video, it is an amazing shot. And thank goodness. Subsequent to that wound, it appears that Page died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head," Carlson said.

Authorities reiterated Wednesday that it appears Page, who reportedly had ties to white supremacist groups, acted alone and that they still have not determined his motive.

Carlson said investigators have conducted more than 100 interviews nationwide of family members, associates, employers and neighbors. They are also analyzing Page's computer, email and telephone records.

The video surveillance system inside the temple was not turned on Sunday so there's no recorded view of what happened inside the 16,000-square-foot building, Carlson said.

"Killed himself after being wounded by the police"??? Hmm, and I wonder how he could possibly kill himself after being wounded in the stomach by an officer? I've been kicked or hit hard in the stomach a couple times in my lifetime and the pain is excruciating. How could he muster up the strength to kill himself after that? WTF is all I can say.

High five CH. And ya know what else? The surveillance cameras were off the day of the shooting. Probably should take a closer look at who the "overseer" of this establishment is.
