The SikhTemple in Oak Creek, Wisconsin reopened today after six people were killed and three others were wounded last Sunday when a gunman went on a shooting rampage. Attorney General Eric Holder will speak at a memorial for the victims, hosted at the temple later this afternoon.
CNN received an exclusive look at the temple, where a bullet hole that punctured the door to the main prayer area remains. Members say it won’t be repaired, but will stay as a reminder of the tragedy.
CNN’s Ted Rowlands reports on his conversations with the temple members.
More details are emerging this morning about Michael Page, the man accused of killing six worshipers at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin on Sunday.
For several years after being discharged from the Army, Page fronted a white supremacist punk band called "End Apathy."
Shortly after, the accused gunman attracted the attention of the Southern Poverty Law Center, a non-profit group that studies hate crimes and extremist groups.
On Early Start this morning, Southern Poverty Law Center Senior Fellow Mark Potok says that the biggest hint that Page could become violent was the name his band.
"'End Apathy,' I think that really suggests the idea that he felt the white supremacist scene was all talk and no action and somebody had to do something," Potok explains.
Regarding the skin head groups with which Page was affiliated, Potok says, "Hammer Skins are the scariest, most violent skinhead group out there so Page was in the middle of a scene that was very violent, hyper political and he wasn't on the fringes of this scene. He was really in the thick of it."
Potok explains that there are thousands of people across the country who are affiliated with similar white supremacist groups, saying that the problem is "accelerating, not decelerating" and stressing that "in the long run, we are looking at the very real possibility of more domestic terrorism along these lines."
At least six worshipers are dead and three others are in critical condition this morning after a gunman opened fire inside a Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wisconsin yesterday.
One of the heroes on Sunday was Satwant Kaleka, the president of the temple. Kaleka reportedly tried to tackle the gunman when he was shot in the back.
On Starting Point this morning, Kaleka's niece and nephew Simran Kaleka and Kanwardeep Singh Kaleka sit down with John Berman to discuss their uncle's legacy and to explain how the Sikh community is responding to the tragic shooting.
Law enforcement officials spent the night examining the suspected Sikh temple gunman's home and although his identity hasn't been confirmed, a source tells CNN that he was an army veteran who may have been a white supremacist.
Police say the shooter walked into the temple parking lot yesterday morning and opened fire.
