Suspect in Wis. shooting: "Frustrated neo-Nazi"
The gunman who killed six people inside a Sikh temple in Wisconsin and was killed in a police shootout was identified as 40-year-old army veteran Wade Michael Page, officials said on Aug. 6, 2012. A civil rights group identified him as a "frustrated neo-Nazi" who led a white supremacist music group. Police called the Aug. 5 attack an act of domestic terrorism. The FBI said there was no reason to think anyone else was involved in the attack, and they were not aware of any past threat made against the temple. Page was discharged from the army in 1998 and declared ineligible to re-enlist, according to a U.S. defense official. This photo of Wade was released by the FBI following a press conference Aug. 6.
