The Ecumenical News International website reports today (August 6, 2012) that a broad spectrum of U.S. religious groups -- Christian, Jewish, and Muslim -- are condemning killings at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin that authorities described as an act of "domestic terrorism."
The gunman, Wade Michael Page, a 40-year-old US Army veteran, killed six people and injured three others yesterday at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin before being shot and killed by police.
The temple is located in Oak Creek, a suburb of Milwaukee.
The Southern Poverty Law Center -- which monitors hate groups in the United States -- described Page as a "frustrated neo-Nazi" who had led a racist white-power group.
