As the Sikh community in Oak Creek, Wisconsin tries to make sense of Sunday's mass shooting at a temple in the Milwaukee suburb, the man police say was responsible for the horrific event is creating a lot of questions for another group. Cops say the shooter was Wade Michael Page, a veteran of the U.S. Army. If it's true (the shooter is believed to be one of the seven dead at the temple, brought down by a police officer who was badly wounded), Page's involvement is going to create a mess for the military as they're forced to paw through his past. For starters, there are allegations that he was a white supremacist, a neo-Nazi who fronted a racist white power band. Before that, however, Page was assigned to -- of all places -- the psychological operations department of the Army.![]()
