Initial officer who responded to the scene was shot multiple times by the shooter.

First responding officer expected to be ok. One suspect down.

Stupid. I am Sikh myself. I wish there was some other penalty than the death penalty for these types of people. I don't care what background the shooters were. Could be Sikh as well.

I would love for these types of people to feel the worst pain they have ever have felt in their lives. Stoning, bleeding out, etc. Death by injection is just too easy.

Hell, throw them in a cage with a Lion or Tiger.

It isn't right and humane, but it would serve them nicely.

Multiple suspects and children as hostages. This sounds a little more complex that what I might have expected.

Sounds like a pretty sophistcated plan with more than one gunman.

Seems to me like it is a dispute within the temple with possibly people disagreeing with the way the temple is being run.

That really could be the best case scenario instead of a Sikh temple being attacked by Christians, muslims or any other radical group. That would just set off a trainwreck of events.

Unless this is just wild sepculation on your part could you post a link to the information you've got this from? Surely it's not the timeline link that Flash posted.

There is a lot of stupidity sometimes within Sikh temples. Vancouver/Surrey had lots of it in the 90's.

The world we live in can be brutal. Theater shooting. This. So many innocent lives. Just sickens me.

"Seems to me" and "possibly", I thought would indicate that this is my guess, and is in fact speculation on my part.

It's the only thing that makes sense to me especially with the multiple shooters. It is very unlikely the shooters came from outside the temple.

Reports are witnesses are describing the shooter is a heavy build, bald, white male wearing a sleeveless shirt.

I wonder if this will be considered a terrorist attack or just "one lone shooter" type attack.
