A gunman opened fire inside a Gurudwara in Wisconsin during congregation  preparation  for Sunday morning prayers, killing at least six people.
This tragic incident unfolded at around 10:30 pm on Sunday as members of the Sikh community were gathering in the 17,000 sq ft Gurudwara in Milwaukee's Oak Creek suburb.
The unidentified gunman walked into the Gurudwara where he opened indiscriminate firing, killing six people.The gunman was also shot and killed by a police officer who also sustained serious injuries. Police said there were a large number of women and children and the women were preparing meals to be served after the traditional prayer ceremony.
Oak Creek Police Chief John Edwards said the police is "treating the incident as a domestic terrorist-type incident."
The FBI will oversee the criminal investigation. Edwards said there were "numerous individual deceased" and "multiple injured."

President Barack Obama offered his condolences to the victims of the shooting and said that his Administration will provide whatever support is necessary to the officials who are responding to this tragic shooting and moving forward with an investigation.
"Michelle and I were deeply saddened to learn of the shooting that tragically took so many lives in Wisconsin, Obama said in a statement.
"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," Obama said.
FBI Milwaukee Special Agent in Charge Teresa Carlson said the agency is working closely with the Oak Creek Police Department and other local and federal agencies to investigate the shooting incident.

Duterte proposes another UN August 21, 2016 Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte railed against the United Nations today after it called for an end to the wave of killings unleashed by his war on drugs, saying he might leave the organisation. Duterte also said the Philippines will invite China and African nations to form another global organisation in place of United Nations, as world body is not doing enough to address hunger and terrorism. There appears to be human rights working for terrorist and mafia in third world to keep their states in dire state.
