Contrary to the timeline of stories that has circulated since Wade Michael Page’s Sunday attack on a Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, authorities are now claiming that the shooter died from self-inflicted wounds. Previously, it was stated that Page perished after being shot by a police officer who responded to the scene.

CNN has more about the FBI’s new claims:
Wade Michael Page, who police say was the shooter that killed six people in a Sikh temple in Wisconsin on Sunday, died that day from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head after he was shot in the stomach by a responding officer, Teresa Carlson, the special agent in charge for the FBI in Milwaukee, said Wednesday.
According to The Associated Press, Carlson also told the news conference that investigators also have not yet “clearly defined a motive” for Sunday shooting at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin that left six worshippers dead.
Carlson says federal officials had not opened any investigation into Page before Sunday’s shooting. She says investigators are interviewing dozens of people who have known Page as they work to determine for a possible motive.
This is a breaking news story. Stay tuned for updates.

Posted on August 9, 2012 at 3:20amHate doesn’t have an agenda. All it needs is a spark to start it blazing. I seem to remember that his relationship with his girlfriend had recently ended. If you don’t have confidence in yourself or believe that “something better will come by”, then what is the purpose in living. What better reason to take some innocent (pardon the term) “rag heads ” out. And when he sees that he is going to have to answer for his actions he takes the “easy way” out. Surprise, surprise. I wonder what he is thinking right now. Only God and satan know.

Posted on August 8, 2012 at 11:52pmS. America ‘seems’ to be a hotspot for _________ post- WWII — have NO clue “why” some ‘may’ have seen Elvis in a UFO — perhaps McVeigh (OKC scape-goat) is down yonder too — “We don’t KNOW…” :-) We DO know Bush bought nearly 100,000 acres right over the top of an aquifer in PARAGUAY, though. Wouldn‘t it be a BITE to find out all the ’bad guys‘ who’s bodies were never actually seen (Saddam/Ghadaffi/bin Laden et al) be down in a non-extradition treaty country as part of the nearly 70 year cover-up plot since the Nuremberg ‘trials?’ Maybe Glenn and Jesse Ventura can jump on this ;-) . Modus Operandi from back in the Civil War days —> On September 15, 1865, Surratt fled to England and later to Rome. He joined the Papal Zouaves. When his location was discovered he went to Alexandria, Egypt. There he was arrested on November 27, 1866. Surratt was brought back to the United States and went on trial for murder on June 10, 1867. The jury heard 80 witnesses for the government and 90 witnesses for the defense. The trial ended August 10 with the jury deadlocked (four votes for guilt and eight votes for innocence). Eventually, Surratt was freed in the summer of 1868. He had benefited from the fact that he had been tried by a CIVIL COURT, i.e. Jury Nullification –> http://rogerjnorton.com/Lincoln37.html — Now, bear in mind that the Republican party’s FIRST puppet was none other than Abraham Lincoln, who was also known to be at ODDS with the Pope/Vatican — Gotta be

Posted on August 8, 2012 at 1:11pmI guess this is the reason why we kept getting two different versions of how Page was killed. One was that Murphy the critically wounded veteran policeman killed him and the other was that one of the backups shot him after arriving on the scene.

Posted on August 8, 2012 at 12:21pmThese killers are programmed to kill themselves. Don’t have the stats, but I have been watching these rampage killings since 1989′s Patrick Purdy in Stockton Schoolyard. Many come at “convenient” times to whip the gun control mule. Most perps were under psychological care, around or exposed to the psychiatric profession, and/or on psychotropic drugs.
Programmed.

I remember NRA’s HardCore insurgent Neal Knox (yeah, that dates me) saying over and over “cui bono”, (who benefits) every time one of these rampages was pulled off.
Each seems tailor made to put the bum’s rush on gun bans. The media and liberal response is as orchestrated as a Chicago election.
The media jackals take up the howl showing machine guns instead of semi-autos…exploding pumpkins, and evile AK-47’s with bayonets attached (especially frightening those darn bayonets, eh?) and shriek they are all available at “Wal-Mart and on-line”.
All misinformation and lies. Makes you wonder who the frustrated nazi’s really are.
The exact same theater was performed in UK, Canada, and Australia to get evile guns out of civilian hands there as well.
Coincidence? Bullwhoosh. Molon Labe.

Posted on August 8, 2012 at 3:38pmIsn’t it amazing that not ONE instance of gun violence has occured in the hood? They must be having bake sales and planting trees!
Or maybe, the news that we hear about is extremely cherry picked….

Posted on August 8, 2012 at 11:42amSo what we can surmise from this new info is that white supremacist are Lilly White COWARDS. Come one if you are going to have so much hate in your body, at least have the guts to face and stand by your convictions. Instead, you are a coward when you are met with the same actions you are dishing out.
Rot in hell Wade Michael Page.
