<p>Wade Michael Page, a Nazi white supremacist, entered a Sikh temple in a town on August 5 near Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and opened fire with a semi-automatic pistol, killing six and wounding three others.</p>
<p>Page also shot a police officer who arrived on the scene, critically injuring him. After being wounded by another officer, Page killed himself.</p>
<p>Page’s ex-girlfriend, who belonged to the same local Nazi group he did, was later arrested on a weapons charge, but has not been implicated in the attack on the Sikh temple.</p>
