The gunman, was shot and killed in a shooting with a police officer outside the temple. Oak Creek Police Chief John Edwards said to reporters, "The officer stopped a tragic event that could've been a lot worse."

FBI Milwaukee Special Agent in Charge Teresa Carlson said in a statement, "This remains an active investigation in its early stages. While the FBI is investigating whether this matter might be an act of domestic terrorism, no motive has been determined at this time.

Edwards said that 911 calls started coming in from the temple at 10:25 a.m.
President Obama said in a statement that he was "deeply saddened" by the incident and "our hearts go out to the families and friends of those who were killed and wounded,. As we mourn this loss which took place at a house of worship, we are reminded how much our country has been enriched by Sikhs, who are a part of our broader American family."
