| Description | At least four people were shot just after 10 a.m. Sunday at the Sikh Temple in Oak Creek [WI], and a police SWAT team entered the building before noon and brought uninjured people out of the building at 7512 S. Howell Ave.
Moments ago, they started removing injured people from the temple's prayer room.
SWAT team members were still sweeping the building about 1 p.m. and an explosion was heard from the building at that time.
The first officer on the scene encountered an active shooter and exchanged fire with him, according to Greenfield Police Chief Bradley Wentlandt.
The shooter went down and the officer was hit multiple times, but is expected to survive, said Wentland, who is acting as police spokesman for the incident.
One of the temple's committee members, Ven Boba Ri, said that based on communication with people inside the temple, the shooter was a white male in his 30s. |
