Wade Michael Page is the name of the bastard responsible. He is reported to be a white supremist but neighbors (only at present address since last month) who knew him said he kept that a secret. Guess anti-semetic tattoos are comon in Cudahy, WI. Army Vet (based out of Ft. Bragg) attatched to the psych unit. Less than honorably discharged after being bumped down to Sgt.
His ex-girlfriend (reportedly a breakup he couldn't get over) lived in Oak Creek near the Temple. I hope the Sikhs generosity didn't make them a target.
Another hero is the Temple's founder and builder Satwant Singh Kaleka who came to the U.S. with $30 bucks, worked 16hrs a day six days a week for two years, during which he was robbed over a dozen times and taken to the E.R. in least four of those robberies, before he bought his first business. He expanded to the point he was able to finance the construction of the Temple in lieu of a mansion or yacht for himself, anticipating more Sikh's were on the way. Evidence at the scene (bloodtrail) shows Kaleka attacked Page with his dagger that had blood on it and the subject fled, meeting the two cops in the parking lot. Unfortunately Kaleka's son said his father did not suffer immediate mortal wounds but bled out while police assessed the situation.
This guy's kid (I'd guess about 19) is unbelievably poised, warm and considerate considering what just happened and I think is destined for a huge future.
