The
suspect in a shooting that left six people dead at a Sikh temple in suburban
Milwaukee on Sunday has been identified as Wade Michael Page.
Authorities
confirmed to CBS News on Monday that Page was the suspect in the shooting. He
was killed outside the temple in a shootout with police officers after the
rampage that left terrified congregants hiding in closets and others texting
friends outside for help.
Multiple
sources tell CBS News that Page was a former member of the U.S. military, but
he was no longer serving actively. It was not immediately clear under what
circumstances Page left the military.
Officials
had previously described the suspect as a heavy-set, 40-year-old Caucasian with
numerous tattoos.
Sources
tell CBS News some unspecified evidence suggests race or ethnicity may have
played a role in the violence, but no links to extremist groups have been
confirmed.
Local
police called the attack an act of domestic terrorism, but other sources tell
CBS News correspondent Bon Orr it may be more accurate to refer to “an
investigation into a possible hate crime.”
Neither
the local nor the federal sources provided further details or suggested a
possible motive, including whether the suspect specifically targeted the Sikh
temple.
…
CBS News
correspondent Ben Tracy reports Page is only believed to have lived at the
residence for two weeks, according to neighbors.
