Mass shooting at Sikh temple: At least seven dead and dozens injured after gunman launches killing spree before he's shot dead by police

At least six people were killed Sunday when a gunman opened fire at a Sikh temple near Milwaukee, authorities said. The suspected shooter was later killed in exchange of gunfire with police. Four victims were killed inside Sikh Temple of Wisconsin during a holy ceremony and three were murdered outside the building after at least one gunman struck around 10.30am, police confirmed. The gunman was described by witnesses as a white male in his thirties. Police SWAT teams stormed the temple shortly after noon and brought uninjured people out. They then began rescuing injured people from the temple's prayer room, reported the Milwaukee Wisconsin Sentinel Journal. Police have said that they no longer believe that there is a second gunman, as was reported earlier. Up to 30 people could have been injured and three men, including the temple's president, were being treated for critical injuries in hospital.
