Eyewitnesses at the gurudwara in Wisconsin had described the gunman as a white man, heavy built with a sleeveless shirt who also sported a 9/11 tattoo on his arm.

Kanwardeep Singh Kaleka who was among the people who rescued the victims of the shocking incident in Oak Creek has said that the attacker was a bald, white man, dressed in a white T-shirt and black pants and with a 9/11 tattoo on one arm. Also said that it implies that there could be a great amount of hatred involved in the violence.

Kaleka is also the nephew of the president of the Sikh Temple. He told CNN that the frenzied gunman had shot initially in the parking lot killing at least one person. Later he followed into the temple and massacring others inside. At least one male died in the shootings in the parking lot.

Of the few casualties he know, all of them were the holy men of the temple, equivalent of priests.

The area has been cordoned off and the surrounding the neighborhood was also cordoned off.

The suspect's residence was not very far away from the temple as reported by a law enforcement source. He also said that one 9 mm semi- automatic pistol belonging to the gunman was found at the scene and they also found a weapon of the police officer who was injured.
