The essence of Sikh teaching is summed up by Nanak in these words:

"Realization of Truth is higher than all else. Higher still is truthful living".

3 people wounded & shooter killed.

CNN is titling it a Mass shooting, sounds more like an incident of violence.

[Dogman]

Right now , I think no one knows what is going on. Said one shooter down, and officer shot?? Plus maybe 2nd shooter still doing his/her thing, with people/kids trapped in building.

Still needs sorting out

[Horn]

Now it is 7 people killed, I guess the 3 wounded was an early number.

Sikh official was on stating firstly "We are not Muslims..."

Editor's Note: This story was updated at 1:50 p.m. CST to include updates on the number of fatalities.

Seven people have been killed and many others wounded in a Sunday morning shooting at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin in Oak Creek.
Police said three bodies were found outside the temple at 7512 S. Howell Ave. and four were inside the building. Among the deceased is the gunman.
Greenfield Police Chief Bradley Wentlandt said tactical units have gone through the building and have not not identified any other shooters.
Wentlandt said the Oak Creek police officer who first responded to the call was shot multiple times but is expected to survive. That officer, a 20-year veteran of the department, was in surgery Sunday afternoon, he said.
According to our media partners at FOX6 News:
"Froedtert Hospital has confirmed three men were taken to Froedtert Hospital. Froedtert officials say all three are in critical condition. One is in the Surgical Intensive Unit, one in the Operating Room and one has just arrived into Froedtert’s emergency department."
One member of the temple told Patch: "We are shocked. We are a peaceful people."
Another person who had friends inside the temple told Patch that the shooting occurred during a morning service and that at least one gunman opened fire on the victims.
There are other reports that victims still in the temple were telling friends and family not to call their cell phones because they are still in hiding and the ringer may give up their positions.

Police also have been asking media to not broadcast any photo, video or tactical developments at temple.
Another person on the scene told Patch that shortly before noon that there were three or four people inside the temple with guns. That person described the shooting as "a hate crime."
Another member of the temple told Patch: "The priest called from inside (the temple) and said, "Send ambulances; send ambulances."
According to recent information broadcast over police radio, a witness to the shooting told law enforcement the shooter was a white male, with a heavy build, bald head and wearing a sleeveless T-shirt. He was last seen with two handguns.
Flight for Life helicopters have arrived on the scene. A Wauwatosa fire truck and numerous squad cars also are on on the scene. The FBI also has been called in, and police from as far away as Fox Point and Brown Deer are on the scene.
As an apparent precaution, several squad cars were stationed at the entrances and exits of the Sikh Temple at 3675 N. Calhoun Road.
The Sikh Temple began with 20 families in rented space in the south side of Milwaukee and has since grown to number in the hundreds. A new Gurudwara was built in Oak Creek to better serve the needs of the growing community. The construction of the 17,500 square-foot Gurudwara was completed in 2007, with parking for 100 cars.
Sikh Indians, because of religious tradition, wear turbans to cover their uncut hair and have longer beards. They are often mistaken for Muslims and have been the targets of racially-motivated crimes by anti-Muslim people and groups, as evidenced by the epithets shouted at them.
Sunday's shooting is similar to an incident in March 2005 in Brookfield, when a gunman killed parishioners during a church service at the Sheraton Hotel in Brookfield where the Living Church of God met regularly.
One of their own, long-time church member Terry Ratzmann, 44, of New Berlin, opened fire, killing himself and seven other people. Then-District Attorney Paul Bucher told the Associated Press in August 2005 that Ratzmann executed the pastor’s family and “then randomly opened up fire after that."
A clear motive for the Brookfield shooting was never identified.
The Sikh American Legal Defense and Education Fund, a national Sikh American civil rights organization, issued a statement Sunday saying:
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the injured, the survivors, their families, and the Oak Creek community."
As the situation developed Sunday, several area officials also expressed their condolences for the victims.
State Sen. Chris Larson, who represents Oak Creek, said on Twitter: "Thoughts & prayers with friends in Oak Creek & our Sikh community. Still trying to figure out what is happening and why."
Eric Hovde, a Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate seat, tweeted: "Sharon and I send our thoughts and prayers out to all of those involved in the Oak Creek shooting."

Well all this is rather inconvenient, no photos allowed.

Syria would be envious.
