Another shooting has happened, this time in Wisconsin at a Holy Site. It happened at a Sikh temple in Oak Creek, which is near Milwaukee.
"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.""
"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."
"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."

I find this sickening. It seems to me that this was a hate crime. We need better protection against people with guns.
