Oh shit.
Update:
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.
Scanner reports indicated that as of noon that suspect may still be at large. Police have closed a portion of Howell Avenue and traffic is being diverted.
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.
Update 2:
At least four people were shot just after 10 a.m. Sunday at the Sikh Temple in Oak Creek, and a police SWAT team entered the building before noon and brought uninjured people out of the building at 7512 S. Howell Ave.
Around noon, they started removing injured people from the temple's prayer room.
SWAT team members were still sweeping the building about 1 p.m. and an explosion was heard from the building at that time.
The first officer on the scene encountered an active shooter and exchanged fire with him, according to Greenfield Police Chief Bradley Wentlandt.
The shooter went down and the officer was hit multiple times, but is expected to survive, said Wentland, who is acting as police spokesman for the incident.
Among those who were shot was the president of the temple, Satwant Kaleka, who was taken to a hospital.
Looks like the gunman is dead.
Update 3:
Death count raised to 7, including shooter.
And the head priest was locked inside a restroom with a cell phone and that there were as many as 20 to 30 victims.
I hope everyone is okay.
Also, apparently there were two shooters:
Someone who sent a text message to a Journal Sentinel reporter shortly before noon said that there were two shooters with children possibly as hostages.
